FAN HOUSING INSTALLATION (DIRECT JOIST MOUNTING OR SUSPENSION BRACKET JOIST MOUNTING)
§
Check the area above installation location to be sure that:
a.
Ductwork can be run and there is sufficient area for proper ventilation;
b.
Wiring can be run to the planned location (wires from the power supply to the unit should not be
smaller than size 14 AWG);
c.
There will be access to ductwork and wiring for inspection and future maintenance; and
d.
No wiring or other obstructions will interfere with installation.
For installation in existing construction:
§
Installing the fan housing in an existing building requires access (attic or crawl space) in the planned
installation location above the existing ductwork and wiring.
§
Inspect existing ductwork and wiring before proceeding with installation.
Step 1:
Select the location for your fan in the ceiling.
For optimal performance, plan for the shortest
possible duct with the fewest elbows.
When positioning fan housing for installation, flange
of housing must be level with bottom of joist, or no
lower than the finished ceiling.
Step 2:
Direct Joist-Mount: Slide suspension brackets (Part
#5 (back) and Part #6 (front)) into slots in fan
housing. Using wood screws (Part #3), secure
housing flange to joist, then secure suspension
brackets to joist on other side. If spacing between
joists is greater than 16”, use extension bracket (Part
#7, see diagram right).
Suspension Bracket-Mount: Slide suspension
brackets (Part #5 (back) and Part #6 (front)) into
slots in fan housing. Using wood screws (Part #3),
secure suspension brackets to joists. If spacing
between joists is greater than 16”, use extension
bracket (Part #7, see diagram right).
