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 1 - Hardware Bag
1 - Damper Assembly (attached) 1 - Electrical Connector
1-Mounting Bracket 3-Wire Nuts
1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet

1. Remove the wire compartment cover and store in the carton until needed so it does not get damaged or lost (Figure 1).

1. 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, the radius of each elbow be as large as possible for the installation, and that insulated hard ducting be used. Larger duct sizes will reduce noise and airflow restrictions.
2. Select the most convenient electrical knockout and remove using a straightblade screw driver (Figure 2).
3. No additional vibration deadening materials are needed for this fan.

SECTION 2

New Construction - BFQ Models

1. Using the gauge on the mounting bracket, line up the bracket on the joist so the bottom of the fan will be flush with the finished ceiling. Nail or screw the bracket in place securely (Figure 3).

WARNING: PROPER INSTALLATION REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF 4 SCREWS LOCATED IN HOLES CLOSEST TO DRYWALL.

1. Snap the fan body into the bracket (Figure 4). The fan can be snapped into position with the duct collar facing to the left or the right depending which is most convenient.

New Construction - BFQW Models (Oval Duct)

1. Using the gauge on the bracket, line up the bracket on the side of a wall stud such that the bottom of the fan will be flush with the finished wall. The bracket should sit one drywall thickness forward on the stud (Figure 5).

NOTE: For proper damper operation, the duct adaptor must be facing up towards the ceiling.

NOTE: 12 minimum thickness drywall must be used for wall mount applications.

1. Nail or screw the bracket in place securely.
2. Snap the fan body into the bracket, making sure the duct collar is pointing upwards towards the ceiling (Figure 6).

SECTION 3

Existing Construction - BFQ Models

1. Position housing against the joist or stud and trace an outline of the housing onto the ceiling/wall material. Set housing aside and cut opening, being careful not to cut or damage any electrical or other hidden utilities (Figure 7).
2. Line up the bracket on the joist so the bottom of the fan will be flush with the finished ceiling. Nail or screw the snap-in bracket in place securely (Figure 3).
3. Snap the fan body into the bracket (Figure 4). The fan can be snapped into position with the duct collar facing to the left or the right depending which is most convenient.

Existing Construction - BFOW Models (Oval Duct)

1. Remove a section of the wall material large enough for you to fit the fan housing into as well as gain access to the top plate, and have enough space to connect the ducting. This will typically be across two studs and approximately 24^ starting at the top of the wall.
2. Follow the instructions in Section 2 - New Constructions - BFQW Models (Oval Duct) to complete the installation.

NOTE: Wall installation into existing construction will require you to patch the wall material around the unit.

SECTION 4

Ducting

NOTE: 4^th OR LARGER RIGID DUCT IS RECOMMENDED FOR BEST PERFORMANCE.

CAUTION: ALL DUCTING MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL BUILDING CODES.

1. Connect the ducting to the fan's duct collar (Figure 8). Secure in place using tape or screw clamp. Always duct the fan to the outside through a wall or roof cap. It is recommended that low restriction termination fittings be used.

NOTE: For oval duct connection, squeeze standard 4" round rigid ducting to form an oval shape then follow instructions in Step 1.

1. Ensure duct joints and exterior penetrations are sealed with caulk or other similar material to create an air-tight path to minimize building heat loss or gain and to reduce the potential for condensation. Place/wrap insulation around duct and/or fan to in order to minimize possible condensation buildup within the duct, as well as building heat loss or gain (Figure 9).

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.

1. Run wiring from an approved wall switch carrying the appropriate rating. One neutral (white), one ground (green or bare copper), and one hot (black lead connected to the switch). Secure the electrical wires to the housing with an approved electrical connector. Make sure you leave enough wiring in the box to make the connection to the fan's receptacle.
2. From where you have access to inside the fan's junction box, connect the White wire from the house to the White wire from the fan's receptacle.
