SECTION 2
Mounting the Housing
1. From inside the house, choose the best location to
mount the housing on an exterior wall. Make sure to
locate the housing where there are no studs,
electrical/mechanical utilities, or any other obstructions.
2. Once you have selected the best location from inside
the house, transfer the location to the exterior of the
house and confirm that there are no obstructions in the
location and the fan has proper clearance to operate.
3. Once the installation location has been confirmed,
cut a 8-1/4" diameter hole in the interior wall where
the fan is to be located
(Figure 3)
.
4. Drill a small hole through to the outside in the center
of the 8-1/4" diameter hole, so you can properly locate
the exterior housing
(Figure 3).
5. On the siding of the outside wall, layout a 14-1/2" x 14-
1/2" square using the small hole drilled in Step 4 as the
