Wall installations

1.Choose a location on an outside wall where no wall studs, wires, pipes, etc. run through the opening area. A minimum distance of 24" (61 cm) from remote blower to ground may be required depending on local code. Make sure to leave room for anticipated snowfall in your region.

2.Drill the guide hole in the center of the 11" (27.9 cm) diameter opening area.

3.Mark a 27-1/2" x 34" (69.9 x 86.4 cm) rectangle on wall as indicated in FIGURE 1.

4.Cut a rectangular hole in the siding only. Do not cut sheathing. Nail down all siding ends.

5.Mark an 11" (27.9 cm) diameter circle around guide hole as indicated in FIGURE 1. Mark center of the 1-1/4" (or 3.0 cm) diameter hole for electrical wiring as indicated in FIGURE 1.

6.Cut 11" (27.9 cm) diameter hole in sheathing. Drill the 1-1/4" (or 3.0 cm) diameter electrical wiring hole.

7.Run a large bead of caulk on the back side of the housing along the outer edge.

8.Center the remote blower ring in the 11" (27.9 cm) diameter hole, making sure that the 1-1/4" (or 3.0 cm) diameter electrical wiring hole lines up with the hole in the wiring box.

9.Attach the remote blower to wall using screws appropriate for your installation. All four holes in the back panel must be filled to prevent moisture that may get inside the remote blower housing from leaking into the home.

10.Seal all around the mounting screw heads with caulk.

11.Go to “Make the duct & electrical connections”, Page 4.

1.Choose location on rear slope of roof that minimizes vent run. Avoid obstacles such as TV leads, electric lines, etc. If remote blower top is level with roof peak, it will not be seen from street. Remember this location as you work from inside the attic.

2.Mark a point half-way between the rafters and drill a guide hole at this point.

3.From the outside, using the guide hole as a starting point, mark the rectangular cut-out as indicated in FIGURE 2. Remove ONLY the shingles in THIS AREA.

4.Mark an 11" (27.9 cm) diameter circle around guide hole as indicated in FIGURE2. Mark center of the 1-1/4" (or 3.0 cm) diameter hole for the electrical wiring as indicated in FIGURE 2.

5.Cut out the roof boards along the 11" (27.9 cm) diameter circle. Drill the 1-1/4" (or 3.0 cm) diameter electrical wiring hole.

6.Remove roofing nails from the upper two-thirds of the shingles to allow the back flashing sheet on the remote blower housing to fit under them.

7.Center the remote blower ring in the 11" (27.9 cm) diameter hole, making sure that the 1-1/4" (or 3.0 cm) diameter electrical wiring hole lines up with the hole in the wiring box.

8.Attach the remote blower to roof or frame using screws appropriate for your installation. All four holes in the back panel must be filled to prevent moisture that may get inside the remote blower housing from leaking into the home.

9.Seal all the shingles around the remote blower housing, flashing sheet, and mounting screw heads or frame with roofing cement. Top and side flanges of the back plate may be covered with trim. It is recommended that electrical connection be made and checked first. Do not block the vent grill opening at the bottom of the trim. Doing so will decrease blower performance.
