2.4 Installing RM Model Fans
1.
Determine which roof area you would like to install your QuietCool Roof Mount Fan.
(see Figure 2.4D)
IMPORTANT:

When installing your RM fan as a
ducted whole house fan,
find the exact ceiling location for your
ceiling box using a stud finder. Be sure that the ceiling box will fit between the ceiling box location
and fan location with a minimum of 20” clearance. Now, using a drywall saw, cut out the drywall
(using
the rough opening measurements shown in Figure 2.4A)
.

When installing your RM fan as a
whole house fan without a duct,
find the exact ceiling location for
your ceiling damper grille using a stud finder. Now, using a drywall saw, cut out the drywall
(using the
rough opening measurements shown in Figure 2.4A)
. Install your ceiling damper grille.
