• Run a large bead of caulk on the back side of the housing along the outer edge.
• Center the remote blower ring in the 11” (279 mm) diameter hole, making sure that the 1 1/4” (32
mm) diameter electrical wiring hole lines up with the hole in the wiring box.
• Attach the remote blower to the wall using screws appropriate for your installation. All four holes in
the back panel must be filled to prevent moisture that may get inside the remote blower housing
from leaking into the home.
• Seal all around the mounting screw heads with caulk.
• Continue to the ‘Prepare for electrical connection’ section.

Option 2: Sloped roof installation
(For flat roof installations see Option 3)
• Choose location on the rear slope of the roof that minimizes vent run. Avoid obstacles such as TV
leads, electric lines, etc. If the remote blower top is level with the roof peak, it will not be seen from
the street. Remember this location as you work from the inside of the roof space.
• Mark a point half way between the rafters and drill a guide hole at this point.
• From the outside, using the guide hole as a starting point, mark the rectangular cut-out as
indicated in Fig.12. Remove ONLY the roof shingles in THIS AREA.
• Mark an 11” (279 mm) diameter circle around guide hole as indicated in Fig.12.
• Mark the center of the 1 1/4” (32 mm) diameter hole for electrical wiring as indicated in Fig.12.
• Cut out the roof boards along the 11” (279 mm) diameter circle.
• Drill the 1 1/4” (32 mm) diameter electrical wiring hole.
• Remove the roofing nails from the upper two-thirds of the shingles to allow the back flashing sheet
on the remote blower housing to fit under them.
• Center the remote blower ring in the 11” (279 mm) diameter hole, making sure that the 1 1/4” (32
mm) diameter electrical wiring hole lines up with the hole in the wiring box.
