IMPORTANT: You must fasten the damper box to the
ceiling joists AND drywall. The purpose of this is to
make sure the damper box stays in place when you are
screwing in the grille. If you do not fasten the damper
box to the drywall, the damper box will not stay in place
when attempting to screw in the grille.
10. Center the grille over the damper box. Install the grille with
the white screws provided by screwing through the drywall
into the ange of the damper box. (See Figure 2.2I)
NOTE: To remove grille core for cleaning, use the
provided grille removal tool in the corners of the grille
core. When removing the grille, make sure to hold the
core in place so it does not fall. When ready to put your
grille core back in place, simply push it right into place.
2.3 INSTALLING THE RM WHF-4.0-DG1
Usethefollowinginstructionstonishtheinstallationofyouraccessorykit.
These instructions are for installing the RM WHF-4.0 with 22” x 22”damper grille.
IMPORTANT: The RM WHF-4.0-DG1 will only t 24” on center
ceiling joists.
1. Using a stud nder, nd and measure your ceiling joists and determine
the location for your damper grille. Make sure the damper grille is
installed in the same joist bay as the fan.
2. When you have chosen your exact spot, place the provided template
on the spot and make sure that you have at least 2 inches of clearance
all around it. While holding the template in place, mark its outline with
a pencil. (See Figure 2.3A)
3. Using a drywall saw or similar device, cut out the hole in the ceiling.
(See Figure 2.3B)
IMPORTANT: If there is venting in the cavity that the fan and grilles
are being installed in, you will need to seal off the sides next to the
damper grille and fan hole creating an air tight cavity. If installing
on a sloped ceiling, be sure the dampers are installed so they open
from the bottom side of the slope so gravity will close the dampers
when the fan is turned off. If installed incorrectly, the dampers will
not properly close.
4. Place the grille in the ceiling cutout. Install the grille with the white
screws provided by screwing through the drywall. (See Figure 2.3C)
