Existing Construction

1.Place the collar/damper in the selected location and trace a circle onto the surface. From the interior side of the room, cut through the surface. Please note: Take care not to damage the ceiling and make a smooth cut (Figure 6).

Figure 6

2.Position the collar/damper in the previously cut hole so that it is flush with the finished ceiling and secure to the joist/stud using the provided 1" wood screws through the mounting strap (Figure 4).

3.Install the grill into the collar by pushing it firmly inward towards the collar until it fits flush against the wall/ceiling material (Figure 5).

SECTION 6

Ducting

CAUTION: ALL DUCTING MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL BUILDING CODES.

NOTE: Insulated ducting is required for bathroom exhaust applications, where ducting passes through unconditioned space or where noise is a factor. Failure to use insulation could result in excessive condensation buildup within the duct, and undesirable sound levels within the room. Duct runs should have as few bends as possible.

NOTE: Flexible insulated ducting may be used where allowed by local code. For the quietest possible installations, it is recommended a minimum of 8' of insulated flexduct be used between any exhaust grill and fan. When using flexible type duct work, duct should be stretched as tight and straight as possible. Failure to do so could result in dramatic loss of system performance. Flexible duct should be connected to the fan with screw clamps or duct tape. All connections should be as airtight as possible to maximize system performance.

1.Connect one end of the ducting (not included) to the room level collar/damper and the other end to the “Y” transition. Secure both ends in place using tape or a screw clamp to create as air tight a seal as possible. Repeat this step for the other room level grill housing (Figure 7).

NOTE: Units that include only one collar do not utilize the “Y” transition. Follow the same instructions as in step 1, except connect the one end of the ducting directly to the fan.

2.Connect one end of the ducting to the top of the “Y” transition and the other end to the intake of the fan (Figure 7).

3.Connect one end of the ducting to the exhaust of the fan and the other end to a wall or ceiling cap (Figure 7). Always duct the fan to the outside through a wall or roof cap.
