Preparing the hole
If working above ground floor level, appropriate safety precautions must be observed.
WARNING: EYE PROTECTION MUST BE WORN DURING ALL DRILLING AND CHISELLING OPERATIONS.
If installing in a wall
1.Check there are no buried pipes or cables in the wall or obstructions on the outside e.g. electricity, gas, water.
2.Mark on the wall the centre of the duct hole. The centre of the hole should be at least 110mm away from the edge of the mounting surface.
3.Use this centre to mark a circle to suit the wall duct (115mm diameter).
If core drill equipment is available:
4. Use as directed by core drill manufacturer.
If core drill equipment is not available:
4.Drill a centre hole right through the wall.
5.Cut the hole. Do not cut right through the wall. (The recommended method is to drill a series of holes, close together, around the edge of the cutting line and remove the brick between the holes with a chisel).
6.Go outside and cut a hole in the outer wall, repeating the process described above.
7.Cut ducting to the correct length if required.
8.Fit the ducting. Ensure that the duct slopes down away from the fan to allow drainage of any incoming rain water to the outside.
9.Make good the hole around the ducting. Allow the mortar to set before continuing with the fan installation.
If installing in a window or panel
1.Cut a hole, 125mm in diameter or if installing in a window, obtain a ready cut pane.
