INSTALLATION IN EXISTING CONSTRUCTION

PLANNING

Installing a bathroom exhaust fan-light in a finished house 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.

LOCATION: Locate fan-light next to a ceiling joist.

WIRING AND DUCTING: Refer to Figures 5 and 6 for wiring and to Figure 4 for ducting. Plan ducting and wiring before proceeding with installation.

CAUTION: Check area above planned location to be sure that:

(1)Ducting can be installed or that area is sufficient for proper venting. The ceiling joists should run toward an outside wall.

(2)Wiring can be run to the planned location.

(3)No wiring or other obstruction might interfere with installation.

INSTALLATION

1.The fan light must be mounted to a ceiling joist. Decide where you want to locate the fan-light and then determine if there is a ceiling joist near.

LOCATING JOIST: Lightly tap the ceiling. A hollow sound means no joists, a solid sound means a joist is present. To be sure you have located a joist, drill a small hole (116") and probe into the ceiling with a wire. Leave wire in hole to help locate it in the attic or crawl space.

2.Locate hole in attic or crawl space. Make sure hole is within 9" of joist.

3.From below, saw a line from hole to joist.

4.Using the housing as a template, mark the ceiling for the cutout. Cutout dimensions: 918" x 918". One side of cutout must be right next to joist.

5.Make cutout along marked line.

6.In attic or crawl space, run 4" round duct from outside to cutout location.

7.Run wiring to cutout location.

8.Place housing into cutout and secure housing to joist. Make sure housing is flush with finished ceiling. Connect duct.

9.From below, connect wiring. Install power/blower unit, grille/reflector assembly, fluorescent lamp and lens.
