Installation Guide
Select Fan Location
When selecting a location to install the Dragon fan, take into consideration the
application of the product, the locations of fresh air intakes, and sound generated
by the Dragon unit. If ductwork is to be used, consider the path of the ducting
material.

from any fresh air intakes for HVAC systems, heat recovery systems, etc. to
prevent exhaust air streams from being re-introduced into the occupied space.
Doors or windows that are frequently opened during pleasant seasons may also
be considered fresh air intakes so keep this in mind when selecting the location
of the Dragon.
Locate Mounting and Through Holes
Once the location on the exterior wall where the fan is to be mounted has been
selected, mark all screw and hole locations utilizing the included template. Cut
the holes through the wall for the duct connection and for the electrical conduit.

Mount the Fan
Insert electrical supply through the wall. Attach the duct extension to the Dragon
making sure that the connection is secure. Apply a generous amount of exterior
silicone caulk (not supplied) to backplate of the fan to ensure an airtight/
waterproof connection between the fan and the wall surface. If a mounting frame
is used in conjunction with lapped siding, be certain to apply a generous amount
of caulk between the frame and the wall as well as the fan backplate and the
frame. Mount the fan to the wall.
Note: Be certain to make an airtight seal around all interior wall penetra-
tions before attaching duct work.
