2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Installing AFG (Attic Fan Gable) model fans
NOTE:
The AFG model fans are designed to mount behind
existing vents. If no vent exists, one must be
installed. Vent should be installed in the upper center section of the gable.
NOTE: IF YOU ARE INSTALLING THE AFG SMT-3.0, PLEASE READ SECTION 2.3 BEFORE INSTALLING.
Installing the
QuietCool AFG
is very easy. To install the AFG, simply mount the gable fan to your gable vents as shown
in the following steps:
Flush Mount:
The AFG can be mounted flush to a rectangular type louver by
fastening through the mounting brackets to the frame of the louver
(as shown in
Figure 2.1A)
.
As stated in the note above, any area of the louver that is not covered by the AFG
must be sealed off in order to prevent air leakage, which may hinder performance.
This is the most conventional method of mounting the AFG. We recommend using the
Flush Mount option if possible for all applications.
Wide Mount:
The AFG can be mounted on a wide louver, but additional mounting steps
must be taken in order for the fan to work properly. As shown in Figure 2.1B, two additional
boards must be fastened to the boards framing the gable vent so the AFG can be
mounted securely.
As stated in the note above, any area of the louver that is not covered by the AFG must be
sealed off in order to prevent air leakage, which may hinder performance.
Odd Mount:
The AFG can also be mounted off center for an odd shaped louver
(as shown in Figure 2.1C)
.
As stated in the note above, any area of the louver that is not covered by
the AFG must be sealed off in order to prevent air leakage, which may hinder
performance.
While this is not the most ideal way to mount the gable fan, it is possible.
However, since the fan is not completely covering the vent, maximum airflow
will not be achieved.
