TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS

Housing mounted to joists.

Housing mounted to I-joists. Use I-joist spacer block (provided).

Housing mounted to truss.

PLAN THE INSTALLATION

The ducting from this fan to the outside of the 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. 6" round metal duct is recommended for best performance.
To mount housing anywhere between joists, i-joists or trusses, use optional hanger bar kit MHB4 (sold separately). Follow mounting instructions included with kit.

1. 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.

2. Attach damper/duct connector.

If using 4-inch ductwork, install 6" to 4" duct reducer (included) over duct connector.

3. Install 6-inch or 4-inch round ductwork.

Connect 6-inch or 4-inch round ductwork to damper / duct connector. Run ductwork to a roof cap or wall cap. Tape all ductwork

connections to make them secure and air tight.
