Select Fan Location

When selecting a location to install the SWF fan that has been chosen, take into consideration the application of the product, the locations of fresh air intakes, and sound generated by the SWF unit.

The fan should be located a minimum of 6 feet horizontally and 8 feet vertically from any fresh air intakes for HVAC systems, heat recovery systems, etc. to prevent exhaust air streams from being re-introduced into the occupied space. Doors or windows that are frequently opened during pleasant seasons may also be considered fresh air intakes so keep this in mind when selecting the location of the SWF.

Mark and Introduce Required Holes

Once the location on the exterior wall where the fan is to be mounted has been selected, mark all screw and hole locations utilizing the included template. Cut the holes through the wall for the duct connection and for the electrical conduit. Measure the thickness of the wall and the length of the duct connection that is supplied on the SWF fan. Cut a length of duct so that once connected to the fan, will extend 2" through the wall.

If mounting the fan on a masonry wall, drill four holes and insert wall anchors. If mounting to wooden structure, you will utilize wood screws to secure the SWF to the wall.

If the fan is to be mounted on a wall surface which is not flush such as lapped siding, a mounting plate to provide for a flush fit needs to be made.

Mount the Fan

Insert electrical supply through the wall. Attach the duct extension to the SWF making sure that the connection is secure. Apply a generous amount of exterior silicone caulk to backplate of the fan to ensure an airtight/waterproof connection between the fan and the wall surface. If a mounting frame is used in conjunction with lapped siding, be certain to apply a generous amount of caulk between the frame and the wall as well as the fan backplate and the frame. Mount the fan to the wall.

Note: Be certain to make an airtight seal around all interior wall penetrations before attaching duct work.

Electrical Connection
