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 with Glass Light Lens

1 - Damper Assembly (attached)

2 - #8 Screws

2 - Lockwashers

4 - Mounting Rails

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 6" of clearance in the ceiling or wall,

and will mount through drywall up to 3/4" thick. The fan can be mounted directly to the

joist using the mounting tabs on the sides of the housing or between 16” on center joists

using the 4 provided mounting rails.

SECTION 2

New Construction

1. Mounting Rail Installation: Install the rails on the housing and position the housing next

to the joist. Using the gauge on the fan’s housing, 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 1).

2. Mounting Tab Installation: Using the gauge on the fan’s housing, line up housing so

that it will be ﬂush with the ﬁnished ceiling. Position the fan so that the tabs rest ﬂat

against the joist and secure with four nails or screws (not provided) to ensure proper

installation (Figure 2).

SECTION 3

Existing Construction

1a. Mounting Rail Installation: 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 on the housing and

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 with nails or screws (not provided) (Figure 1).

1b. Mounting Tab Installation: Position housing against the joist and trace an outline of the

housing onto the ceiling material (Figure 4). Set housing aside and cut opening, being

careful not to cut or damage any electrical or other hidden utilities. Place housing next

to the joist and insure that it is ﬂush with the ﬁnished ceiling. Secure with four nails or

screws (not provided) to ensure proper installation (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 5). Secure in place using tape or

screw clamp. Always duct the fan to the outside through a wall or roof cap.

NOTE: If damper detaches from unit, reattach by snapping the collar back onto the unit. It is

designed to only ﬁt one way.

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 6).
