Install Duct and Blower Assembly

Install duct from the inside of the housing.

Fix the duct by the tab

Fix the blower assembly to the housing by 3 screws.

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
• Insulated flexible duct is recommended for the quietest possible installation.
• If rigid duct is used, a short 1-3ft section of insulated flexible duct will ensure quiet operation.

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 airflow.

Retrofit Installation

1. Remove wire panel and blower assembly before installation
2. Fold mounting hears flat against housing
3. Enlarge ceiling opening to 9-1/2 by 9-1/2, leave ductwork and wiring in place
4. Connect wiring according to the wiring diagram.
5. Reinstall wire panel
6. Mounting fan
7. Mount with additional mounting holes.
