Installation (continued)
CONNECTING THE DUCT
NOTE:
For best performance, connect ducting using the shortest and
straightest possible route. Avoid installing with ducts smaller than the fan's
damper.
- Pull existing ducting through the ceiling opening . If
existing ducting is metal you will require a short flexible
duct connector . Rigid duct may need to be cut for proper
installation .
- Position the fan housing assembly properly and secure
existing ducting to the fan's damper .
- If using a flexible duct connector or duct adapter, use
aluminum foil tape at each end to secure the connector or
adapter to the existing ducting and to the fan's damper . See
figure 12.
- Ensure that the fan's damper is unobstructed and free to
swivel freely .
If you are replacing an existing fan then proceed to "Securing
the Fan to The Ceiling Joists – Finished Ceilings" section.
If this is a new installation and your ceiling is unfinished,
proceed to "Securing the Fan to The Ceiling Joists –
Unfinished Ceilings" section.
SECURING THE FAN TO THE CEILING JOIST
FINISHED CEILINGS
NOTE:
Ensure your fan is properly connected to the duct work and electrical
supply cable (not powered) before proceeding.
- With the motor mounting assembly removed, gently insert the
fan housing into the fan opening in the ceiling . Position it such
that the housing is flush with the ceiling surface.
- Secure the fan housing to the ceiling joist with screws .
- Ensure the housing is fastened securely, then reinstall the
motor mounting assembly . Plug the motor into the receptacle .
See figure 13 and 14.
