8. Slide Vent Hood Terminus through the wall while taking care
installing the rain shield as shown, (See Diagram E). The nuts
located on the Vent Hood outermost casing should be facing up
when sliding it through the wall. Mount Vent Hood to the exterior
using four #8 x 3" wood screws & spacers provided, (See Diagram E).
Wall anchors are provided for installation into masonry wall.
9. Connect the Plenum to the Vent Hood Terminus of the SS1R
following the steps on pages 8, 9.
10. After the SS1R is completely installed, apply a bead of exterior
rated caulk between the Vent Hood Terminus inner
flange and the exterior of the building, (See Diagram F).
INSTALLING PLENUM
Depending on building construction, it may be
necessary to notch out a section of the floor
joist to provide proper clearance for the SS1R
motor, (See Diagram G).
1. Attach Template B to the floor joist that is to
be notched, aligning the sight line noted on
the template with the end or the outside
casing of the Vent Hood Terminus.
2. Cut out notch on line shown on the template.
NOTCH BRACING
It is recommended and local codes may dictate that the joist be reinforced as outlined below. Bracing of the rim joist is not necessary.
1. Cut two 2 x 4 pieces of wood 28 inches in length.
2. Center both pieces on each side of the floor joist above the notch and drive 8 16D or larger nails into each piece, (See Diag. H).
CONNECTING THE PLENUM TO THE VENT HOOD TERMINUS
NOTES: Cut any nails which are protruding downward from the subfloor that may come in contact with the SS1R. Place both slip
joint drivers in your pocket before continuing.
