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 - Damper Assembly (attached)

4 - Mounting Rails

1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet

2. 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. This fan will require at

least 8” of clearance in the ceiling or wall, and

will mount through drywall up to 3/4” thick. The

fan mounts between 16” or 24” on center joists

using the 4 provided mounting rails.

3. Select the most convenient electrical knockout

and remove using a straight-blade screw driver

(Figure 1).

4. No additional vibration deadening materials are

needed for this fan.

SECTION 2

New Construction

1. Install the side rails on the housing and position the housing next to the joist.

Line up housing so that it will be ﬂush with the ﬁnished ceiling. Secure the

ends of the rails with screws or nails (not included) to the joists and slide the

housing into the ﬁnal position (Figure 2).

SECTION 3

Existing Construction

1. Set housing in position between the joist and trace an outline onto the ceiling

material (Figure 3). Set housing aside and cut opening, being careful not to cut

or damage any electrical or other hidden utilities. Install the side rails on the

housing and position the housing in the previously cut hole so that it is ﬂush

with the ﬁnished ceiling. Secure the ends of the rails to the joists (Figure 2).

SECTION 4

Ducting

CAUTION: ALL DUCTING MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL

BUILDING CODES.

1. Connect the proper size ducting (AK80LS, AK110LS - 4" round, AK80LS6,

AK90LS6, AK100LS6, AK110LS6 - 6" round) to the fan’s duct collar (Figure 4).

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.

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.

NOTE: This unit includes a side access panel for wiring that does not require the

removal of the fan’s blower assembly. If you choose to wire the unit from the inside,

you will need to remove the blower assembly and internal wiring compartment.

Both methods are equally effective.

1a. External Wire Compartment: Remove the wire compartment cover screw

and place cover in a secure place (Figure 5).

1b. Internal Wire Compartment: If the motor is already installed in the housing,

using a 7/16" socket, remove the two hex nuts holding the blower assembly

in place. Lift up on the assembly and slide it out of the tabs on the housing

(Figure 6). Remove the wire compartment cover screw and place the cover in

a secure place (Figure 7).
