INSTALLATION IN

EXISTING CONSTRUCTION

Installing a ventilator in an existing construction site requires at least a small accessible area (attic or crawl space) above the planned installation location.

Review “INSTALLATION IN A NEW CONSTRUCTION SITE” and follow all instructions which apply to your installation.

Locate the ventilator next to a ceiling joist.

Plan the ductwork and wiring before proceeding with the installation.

CAUTION: Check the area above the planned installation to be certain that:

1.Ductwork can be installed or that the area is sufficient for proper mounting.

2.Wiring can be run to the planned location.

3.No wiring or other obstruction will interfere with the installation.

INSTALLATION FROM ACCESSIBLE AREA ABOVE (using headers)

1.From below the installation site, drill a small hole in ceiling at the planned location.

2.Locate hole in attic or crawl space.

3.In attic or crawl space, mark ceiling for cutout by using the housing as a template. Cutout dimensions: 10316" x 1412". The short side (10316") of the cutout must be right next to the ceiling joist.

4.Refer to Figure 9. Mark cutout along marked line.

NOTE: If ceiling is plaster, cutout should be made from below to avoid chipping plaster.

5.Install headers between joists using nails or screws leaving 10316" between them.
