Installation:
Please allow up to an hour for installation. Components and hardware are referenced in each step to the corresponding letters on
the parts list. (See components and parts list).
NOTE: Most rafters are spaced between 16” (41cm) to 24”(60.96cm) on center. Best performance will be achieved by plac-
ing the solar attic fan centered between the rafters. An alternative is to center it over a rafter. For either placement DO NOT
CUT INTO THE RAFTERS or any other structural member of the roof.
Step 1: Select a Location
The solar attic fan (A) should be installed with the center 2’ (61cm) below the roof ridge. Where possible the fan should be in a centralized
location (or equally spaced in multi- fan installations) so it pulls air equally from all parts of the attic.
Step 2: Mark the Location
• From inside the attic measure the desired location between rafters
where the center of the fan will sit.
• Measure 2’ (61cm) down from the ridge and mark the intersection of
the 2 lines.
• Drive a nail/screw through the roof or drill a small hole to transfer the
center mark to the outside.
Step 3: Draw the Hole
• Pop out the inner circle pressed into the cardboard protecting the
top of the solar attic fan. The circle is 16” (41cm) in diameter with a
small hole in the center.
• Place the cardboard template over the nail/screw from the previous
step, and trace the template with a pencil, sharpie, or scoring knife.
Step 4: Cut the Hole
• Cut along the template line with the reciprocating saw.
• CUT ONLY THE SHEATHING, NEVER CUT THROUGH
FRAMING MEMBERS.
• Cut along the rafters if the hole would extend past them.
There will be no appreciable drop in performance. (fig. 4.2)
• If the fan is centered over a rafter, use a smaller handsaw
to cut the sheathing above the rafter without harming the
structural member. (fig. 4.3)
