The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect on the airflow, 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.

INSTALL HOUSING & DUCT

1a. Mount housing to joist.

Hold housing in place so that bottom edge of housing will be flush with finished surface of ceiling. For 1/2" thick ceiling material, position bottom of each mounting flange flush with the bottom of joist. The housing mounts with four (4) screws or nails. Screw or nail housing to joist through lowest holes in each mounting flange, then through highest holes. NOTE: Mounting to I-JOIST (shown) requires use of SPACERS (included) between the highest hole of each mounting flange and the I-joist.
