PLAN THE INSTALLATION

ALL INSTALLATIONS

1. Locate the ventilator so the length of the duct run and number of elbows needed are kept to a minimum.
2. Where possible, ventilator should be centered between wall studs or roof rafters.
3. Avoid pipes, wires, or other ductwork that may be running through the wall.

TYPICAL ROOF MOUNTED INSTALLATION

TYPICAL WALL MOUNTED INSTALLATION

PREPARE THE INSTALLATION LOCATION

ROOF INSTALLATIONS

1. Locate the ventilator on the rear slope of the roof. Place it in a location to minimize duct run. The location should be free of obstacles (T.V. leads, electrical lines, etc.). If the ventilator top is level with the roof peak, it will not be seen from the street. Keep this approximate location in mind as you work from within the attic.
2. Mark and drill a guide hole centered between roof rafters.

1. From the outside, use the guide hole as a starting point to lay out the installation:

A. Use a T-square to measure 9^13/16 " to the left of the guide hole, then up 12^16 " to locate the top-left corner of the layout.
B. Starting from the top-left corner, mark the rectangular cutout (18" W x 20½" H) and remove only the shingles in this area.
C. Mark an 11" diameter hole centered on the guide hole. Cut this hole through the roof board(s).
D. Mark and cut a 1¼" diameter hole through the roof board(s) where shown.

1. For flat roof installations, build a curb that will mount the ventilator at a minimum pitch of 2/12. Discharge end of the ventilator should be pointed away from prevailing winds.

PREPARE THE INSTALLATION LOCATION

WALL INSTALLATIONS

1. Choose a position on the outside wall. Make sure that no wall studs, pipes or wires run through the opening area.
2. From inside, mark and drill a guide hole centered between wall studs.

1. From the outside, use the guide hole as a starting point to lay out the installation:

A. Use a T-square to measure 1^13/16 " to the left of the guide hole, then up 14/16 " to locate the top-left corner of the layout.
B. Starting from the top-left corner, mark the rectangular cutout (22" W x 29½" H) and remove only the siding in this area.
C. Mark an 11" diameter hole centered on the guide hole. Cut this hole through the roof board(s).
D. Mark and cut a 1¼" diameter hole through the roof board(s) where shown.

INSTALL THE VENTILATOR

ROOF INSTALLATIONS

1. Remove the cover and screws.
2. Attach an appropriate U.L. approved cable connector in the hole at the rear of the wiring box.
3. Remove roofing nails from shingles around the TOP and SIDES of the cutout area only. Carefully lift the shingles to allow the back flashing sheet on the ventilator housing to fit under them.
4. Center the ventilator ring in the 11" diameter hole, making sure that the 1½" diameter electrical wiring hole aligns with the hole in the wiring box.
5. Attach the ventilator to the roof with six (6) screws provided. It is recommended that the screws be located inside the ventilator housing. Drill pilot holes if necessary.
6. Using a good grade of roofing cement, seal all of the shingles around the housing and flashing sheet as well as the mounting screw heads.
7. Bring electrical wiring through the hole in the wiring box and secure it according to local codes.

1. Make the electrical connections with the proper connector for the type of wiring being used. Connect black to black, white to blue, and the green or bare wire to grounding screw.
2. Replace cover and screws. Do not pinch wiring under the cover.
3. Make sure damper opens and closes freely.

INSTALL THE VENTILATOR

WALL INSTALLATIONS

1. Place a large bead of caulk on the back side of the housing all along the outer edges.
2. Center the ventilator ring in the 11" diameter hole, making sure that the 1½" diameter electrical wiring hole aligns with the hole in the wiring box.
3. Attach ventilator to the wall with the six (6) screws provided. It is recommended that the screws be located inside the ventilator housing. Drill pilot holes if necessary.
4. Using a good grade of caulk, seal all around the mounting screw heads.
5. Bring electrical wiring through the hole in the wiring box and secure it according to local codes.

1. Make the electrical connections with the proper connector for the type of wire being used. Connect black to black, white to blue, and green or bare wire to grounding screw.
2. Replace cover and screws. Do not pinch wiring under cover.
3. Make sure damper opens and closes freely.
4. Top and side flanges of the back plate may be covered with trim strips. Do not block grille opening at bottom with trim. It will adversely affect performance of the ventilator.

INSTALL THE ROUGH-IN PLATE USE AND CARE

1. Run 10" round steel ductwork, from exterior ventilator to the installation location. For best performance, use the straightest possible duct run and the fewest number of elbows. Tape all joints.
2. Run 120 VAC electrical power cable from service panel and from remote ventilator to installation location.
3. Remove wiring box cover. Remove knockouts from the wiring box. Feed 6" of power cable through openings and attach cables to wiring box with appropriate connectors.
