1-888-QUIETCOOL 8
2.2 INSTALLING AFR
(Tile or Cement Roofs from 3:12 to 8:12)
NOTE: This installation requires the purchase of the QuietCool
Secondary Flashing accessory (part number FLA-SEC-3743)
NOTE: When applying weatherproof sealant, be sure to use a
generous amount to create a watertight seal.
1. Determine in which area you would like to install your QuietCool
AFR.
2. From inside the attic, nd the center point between the two roof
rafters and mark it as the center of the fan hole. Partially insert a
screw into the center point mark.
3. Go to the roof and nd the area in which you marked your fan hole
with the screw. Move the tiles out of the way to expose a large area
around where you will cut the fan hole. (see Figure 2.2A)
4. Using the screw as a reference point and the provided template,
trace out the 17 1/4” diameter circle. (see Figure 2.2B)
5. Use a saw to cut out the traced hole pattern from the roof decking.
Remove the cut out decking material from around the hole as
needed. (see Figure 2.2C)
6. Apply weatherproof barrier to the roof.
7. Remove the fan hood for easier installation. This will help you line up
the fan to the hole in the roof and shape your tile.
NOTE: Ensure the vertical seam on the AFR housing is positioned
toward the bottom of the roof, opposite the peak.
9. Lifting the fan unit up at an angle, apply weatherproof sealant to the
bottom side of the fan unit. This will help keep the fan in place and
create a watertight seal. (see Figure 2.2D) Position the fan so that it
is centered with the vent hole.
10. Using a minimum of 8 roong fasteners, fasten the fan to the roof
through the primary ashing, securing the fan to the roof. One (1)
fastener is required at each corner. One (1) fastener is required at
the midpoint of each side. The fasteners must be long enough to
penetrate the primary ashing and completely through the roof
decking. To prevent leaking, be sure to apply weatherproof sealant
on the fasteners. (see Figure 2.2E)
