FAN

ROUND

DUCT*

The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has
a strong effect on the air flow, noise and energy use of the
fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing possible for
best performance, and avoid installing the fan with smaller
ducts than recommended. Insulation around the ducts can
reduce energy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed
with existing ducts may not achieve their rated airflow.

6-inch round rigid metal duct is recommended for best
performance.

Use a roof cap or wall cap that has a built-in damper to
reduce backdrafts.

Plan to supply the unit with proper line voltage and
appropriate power cable.

tween trusses using hanger bars.
