PLAN THE INSTALLATION
ALL INSTALLATIONS
1. Locate the blower so the length of the duct run and
number of elbows and transitions needed are kept to a
minimum.
Please note - when using blower with the Broan
Eclipse Downdraft: The downdraft has a 3¼" x 10"
discharge. Transitions are available to connect it to
the 10" round inlet on this exterior-mounted blower.
2. Where possible, blower should be centered between
wall studs or roof rafters.

PLAN THE INSTALLATION
3. Avoid pipes, wires, or other ductwork that may be
running through the wall.
4. Be sure that there is enough space for any transitions
that may be needed between the blower and the
connecting ductwork.
5. For best performance, locate transitions nearest to
ventilator (i.e. downdraft).

LOCATION
WALL INSTALLATIONS
1. Locate the blower on the rear slope of the roof.
Place it in a location to minimize duct run. The
location should be free of obstacles (T.V. leads,
electrical lines, etc.). Bear in mind, if the blower top
is level with the roof peak, it will not be seen from
the street. Keep this approximate location in mind
as you work from within the attic.
2. Mark a point halfway between rafters.
3. Drill a guide hole through the roof at this point.

4. From the outside, use the guide hole as a starting
point and mark the rectangular cutout and
remove
only the shingles in this area. See Figure 1.
5. Mark an 11" diameter circle centered on the guide
hole and mark the center of the 1-1/4" diameter
electrical wiring hole. See Figure 1.
1. Choose a position on the outside wall. Make sure
that no wall studs, pipes or wires run through the
opening area.
2. Drill a guide hole at the center of the opening area.

4.
Cut a rectangular hole in the siding only. Do not cut
the sheathing. Nail down all siding ends.
5. Mark an 11" diameter circle centered on the guide
hole and mark the center of the 1-1/4" diameter
electrical wiring hole.
6. Cut the 11" diameter hole in the sheathing and drill
the 1-1/4" hole as marked.
6. Cut out the roof board(s) along the 11" diameter

7. For flat roof installations, build a curb that will
mount the blower at a minimum pitch of 2/12. See
Figure 2. Discharge end of the blower should be
pointed away from prevailing winds.
