Properly insulate the area around the
fan to minimize building heat loss and
gain. (Fig.20)
Loose fill or batt insulation can be
placed directly over the fan housing in
the attic.
The fans and fan/light combination units
do not create excessive heat that is a
common problem with recessed light
fixtures or some competitors′ fan / light
combinations. our efficient, cool-running
motors
and our LED lighting unit do not
create enough ambient heat to be subjected to these limitations.
PRACTICAL GUIDE TO INSTALLATION
Foil tape tightly covers all metal
duct joints (glue PVC joints)
4 inches or 6 inches roof jack, wall cap,
or soffit vent with backdraft damper
Mechanically connect duct to termination
and seal with mastic or approved foil
faced tape
2-3 ft straight run before elbow
ln attic installation,
caulk box to drywall
Short piece of flexible duct helps
alignment and absorbs sound.
Clamps plus mastic or approved
foil faced tape at all flex joints
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 air flow.

Remove dust and dirt from fan body using a
vacuum cleaner. (Fig.18)
Using a cloth dampened with kitchen detergent,
remove any dirt from fan body then wipe dry with
clean cloth. (Fig.19)
