Series fans dominate the market in energy efficiency. Our Specialty Series fans work great in practically all
climate zones and most homes, mobile homes, and even warehouse buildings!
QuietCool Attic Fans: The QuietCool Attic Fans help cool your attic, and keep your home from heating up
as quickly on very hot days. We offer two great models: the AFG ES-1500, the most energy efficient attic fan,
and the AFG CON-3.0, the most powerful residential attic fan. Both fans have stellar energy efficiency and
astounding airflow.
QuietCool Garage Fans: The QuietCool Garage Fans offer great ventilation options for your garage, man cave,
or workshop. We offer the GA ES-1500 to ventilate both your garage and attic, and the GX ES-1100 to ventilate
your garage only, with a wall mount design.
QuietCool Roof Mount Fans: The QuietCool Roof Mount Fans offer great versatility for most applications.

2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Installing AFG Model Fans
NOTE: The AFG model fans are designed to mount behind existing gable vent louvers. If no
louver exists, one must be installed. Louver should be installed in the upper center section
of the gable. For maximum efficiency, the area of the louver should be greater than the size
of the ventilator. Any louver area not covered by the ventilator should be sealed off to
prevent any possible air leakage.
Installing the QuietCool AFG is very easy. The mounting tabs on the AFG should be attached to the Attic
Gable Fan. Use the mounting hardware included in the box to fasten the gable fan to the boards that frame
the gable vents. To install the AFG, simply mount the gable fan to your gable vents as shown in the following
steps:
1. Flush Mount: The AFG can be mounted flush to a rectangular type
louver by fastening through the mounting brackets to the frame of
the louver (as shown in Figure 2.1A).
As stated in the note above, any area of the louver that is not covered
by the AFG should be sealed off to prevent air leakage.
This is the most conventional method of mounting the AFG.
We recommend using the Flush Mount option if possible for all
applications.
Figure 2.1B
2. Wide Mount: The AFG can be mounted on a wide louver, but
additional mounting steps must be taken in order for the fan to
work properly. As shown in Figure 2.1B, two additional boards must
be fastened to the boards framing the gable vent so the AFG can be
mounted securely.
As stated in the note above, any area of the louver that is not
covered by the AFG should be sealed off to prevent air leakage.
