INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE
PANEL BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.
SECTION 1
Preparing the Exhaust Fan
1. Unpack fan from the carton and confirm that all pieces are present. In
addition to the exhaust fan you should have:
1 - Grill
1 - Damper Assembly (attached)
4 - Mounting Rails
1 - Mounting Flange
1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet
2. Choose the location for your fan. To ensure the best air and sound
performance, it is recommended that the length of ducting and the
number of elbows be kept to a minimum, and that insulated hard
ducting be used. Larger duct sizes will
reduce noise and airflow restrictions. This
fan will require at least 10
"
of clearance in
the ceiling or wall, and will mount through
drywall up to 3/4
"
thick.
3. Select the most convenient electrical
knockout and remove using a straight-
blade screw driver
(Figure 1).
SECTION 2
New Construction
1. Install the rails into the mounting channel on the housing. Center the
mounting channel in the slots on the housing, then from inside the
housing tighten the mounting channel nuts so the channel is securely
in place. Position the housing next to the joist. Line up housing so that
it will be flush with the finished ceiling. Secure the ends of the rails
with screws or nails (not included) to the joists and slide the housing
into the final position
(Figure 2).
SECTION 3
Existing Construction
1. Set housing in position between the joist and trace an outline onto the
ceiling material
(Figure 3).
Set housing aside and cut opening, being
careful not to cut or damage any electrical or other hidden utilities. Install
the rails into the mounting channel on the housing. Center the mounting
channel in the slots on the housing, then from inside the housing tighten
the mounting channel nuts so the channel is securely in place. Position
the housing in the previously cut hole so that it is flush with the finished
ceiling. Secure the ends of the rails to the joists
(Figure 2).

SECTION 4
Ducting
CAUTION:
ALL DUCTING MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL AND
NATIONAL BUILDING CODES.
1. Connect the ducting to the fan’s duct collar
(Figure 4).
Secure in place
using tape or screw clamp. Always duct the fan to the outside through
a wall or roof cap.
SECTION 5
Wiring
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE
PANEL BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.
CAUTION:
ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE MADE
IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES, ORDINANCES, OR NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL CODE. IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH METHODS OF
INSTALLING ELECTRICAL WIRING, SECURE THE SERVICES OF A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
NOTE:
This unit includes a side access panel for wiring that does not
require the removal of the fan’s blower assembly. If you choose to wire
the unit from the inside, you will need to remove the blower assembly and
internal wiring compartment. Both methods are equally effective.
1a. External Wire Compartment: Remove the wire compartment cover
screw and place cover in a secure place
(Figure 5).
