NOTE:
The AFG can be mounted on many other types of louvers, including triangle
vents, round vents, half-round vents, etc. If the vent is smaller than the area of the
fan, we recommend constructing a chamber that surrounds the vent, and then mount
the AFG to the chamber to ensure maximum airflow and performance.
2.2 Installing AFG (Attic Fan Gable) Vent Covers
Included with your QuietCool Attic Gable Fan are four vent covers
that are designed to be installed around the attic fan housing to
block any air backdrafting into the attic through a gable vent that
is larger than the attic fan cylinder, causing air to cycle in and out
around the vent.
1.
Take the vent cover and match it to one of the
sides around the attic fan housing.
2.
Using the two provided wood screws, attach each
corner to the wood framing around your gable
vent. (See picture for screw locations)
3.
Repeat step 1 and 2 for the three additional
covers.
2.3 NOTE ABOUT THE AFG SMT-3.0
The AFG SMT-3.0 features a 10-speed ECM motor that automatically
changes speed based on temperature and humidity conditions
within the attic.
Sometimes this automatic speed change can cause a slight, tinny vibration sound on certain gable vents
when the fan is switching down to the lower speed ranges.
To prevent this, please follow the steps below.
1.
Purchase general silicon caulking from any hardware
store.
2.
Caulk over the steel mesh that touches the horizontal
slats of the gable vent.
3.
Proceed to the installation in section 2.1.
