Installation

The prio

Air

 ventilation fan may be mounted in either the horizontal or 

vertical orientation. Each fan is designed with a series of mounting holes, 
patterned around the center axis of the fan which provides optimum 
control of the electrical box orientation during installation. 

All prio

Air

 units come standard with a mounting bracket (shown below) 

and mounting hardware.

Mounting options

1. When installing, keep the number of elbows and bends to a minimum.  

If necessary, long radius elbows or bends are recommended.

2. Duct Sealant, caulk, or tape should be applied to all seams to prevent 

air leakage and maximize air performance.

3. Flex, spiral, or snap lock ducting may be used.  If using rigid duct, 

Fantech FC clamps are recommended to connect duct work to the fan 
(see above illustrations).

4. To minimize static pressure losses and promote adequate airflow, 

minimize duct run lengths where possible.  If using flex duct, keep duct 
runs straight and taut.

5. If installing in an unconditioned space, covering the fan with insulation 

is recommended to prevent condensation from forming.

6. For general ventilation applications, at least 8 ft of insulated flexible 

duct shall be installed between the exhaust or supply grille(s) and the 
fan.
