6. INSTALL ROUND DUCTWORK
   Connect the round ductwork (not included) to the damper/duct connector, and run the ductwork to a roof or wall cap (not included).
   Using tape (not included), secure all the ductwork connections so that they are air tight.
   The ducting from this fan to the outside of building has a strong effect on the air flow, noise and energy use of the fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing possible for best performance, and avoid installing the fan with smaller ducts than recommended. Insulation around the ducts can reduce energy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not achieve their rated air flow.

CONNECT ELECTRICAL WIRING

Run 120V AC house wiring to the location of the fan. Use only UL-approved connectors (not included) to attach the house wiring to the wiring plate. Refer to the wiring diagram, and connect the wires as shown.

INSTALL GRILLE

Install ceiling material to complete the ceiling construction. Then, cut around the fan housing.
To attach the grille assembly to the fan housing, pinch the grille springs on the sides of the grille assembly, and position the grille into the housing with the grille springs in the appropriate slots. Push the grille assembly towards the ceiling to secure.
