Installing Mounting Bracket & Fan
1. When selecting fan mounting location, the following criteria
should be considered: a) mounting to minimize noise generated by
fan operation; b) service accessibility
a) Mounting the fan as far as possible from the intake point will
minimize fan operating noise from being transmitted back
through the duct work. If the fan is to be used as a booster
for moving the air between two rooms, a central point along
the duct may be optimal. Insulated flexible type duct work
(recommended for all bathroom exhaust applications) will
result in much quieter operation. Fantech recommends mini-
mum 8' of insulated flexible duct between any exhaust grill
and fan for low noise level.
b) Fan location should allow sufficient access for service.
2. Using the wood screws provided, attach the mounting bracket (NB
or MB) to a support beam at the selected location. Fan mounting
can be at any point along the duct and in any angle, however, ver-
tical mounting is recommended to reduce condensation buildup in
the fan. If a horizontal installation is necessary and condensation
buildup may pose a problem, either wrap insulation around the fan
or drill a ¹⁄₄" hole in the bottom of the housing (along with an NPT
insert [by others] and drain tubing) allowing condensation to
drain.
3. Attach fan to the mounting bracket with the sheet metal screws
provided. Wiring box should be positioned for easy access.
Bracket is provided with rubber vibration isolation grommets to
prevent the transmission of sound through the structure. Be care-
ful not to overtighten. Also, care should be taken not to strip the
plastic housing. Screws are self tapping and do not require pilot
holes. However, pilot holes (no larger than ³⁄₃₂") are recommend-
ed.
4. Connect duct work to inlet and outlet of fan using CB clamps or
duct tape. When using insulated duct, it is recommended that the
inner vinyl core be clamped or taped to the inlet and outlet and
that the vapor barrier surrounding the insulation be duct taped to
the fan housing.
NOTE: Steps 2 & 3 may be reversed.
