OVERVIEW
These instructions are for installing the Solatube® Ventilation
Add-On Kit with the Solatube Brighten Up® Series 160 DS (10
in/250 mm Daylighting System). The Solatube® Light Add-On
Kit may also be installed in conjunction with the Ventilation
Add-On Kit. Refer to the Solatube Brighten Up® Series and
the Solatube® Light Add-On Kit instructions to complete the
installation.
MARKING LOCATION
Step 1: Refer to the Solatube Brighten Up® Series
instructions, Step 1 and Step 2, to mark ceiling and roof
location of the Daylighting System.
Step 2: Place Ventilation Housing Template on ceiling surface
and orient one of the locator points with the ceiling hole
from Step 1. Drill 1/8 in (3mm) hole through the ceiling at the
other locator point and repeat Step 1 to establish clearance
(Diagram A). Once location has been established, tape
template to ceiling. Cut through Template along line and
remove ceiling material.
Step 3: Place the small end of the reducer over the neck of
the vent cowl and secure with foil tape (Diagram B). Then
secure the 150mm Flexiduct to the top of the black reducer using foil tape (Diagram C).
VENTILATION HOUSING
Step 4: Secure Ventilation Housing with six (6) x 1 5/8 in
(40mm) plasterboard (ceiling) screws and the six (6) screw
backing tabs (Diagram D).
Ventilation Duct/Roof Fan Motor Installation
You need to have the 2nd 250 roof ashing installed (around
90cm plus) from the skylight roof ashing, to allow installation
of the vent duct, fan motor and vent cap.
Note: Select ashing as required, not standard with this kit.

Step 5: Select a suitable Fan Motor Assembly location
approximately 3 to 4 feet (1 m) from intake hole toward roof
or side-wall vent. Fan Motor Assembly can be installed at any
angle without affecting performance. The arrow printed on Fan
Motor Assembly shows airow direction. Point the arrow away
from ceiling xture intake and toward the roof or side-wall vent
(Diagram E). To secure Fan Motor Assembly, screw four (4) 1
in (25 mm) screws through Mounting Brackets on Fan Motor
Assembly into building structure.
Step 6: Install 150mm piece of exi air duct from ventilation
housing to inlet of fan motor (Diagram F).
Note: For best vent performance, make air duct run as short
as possible with minimum bends.
Step 7: Fit the narrow end of the 150mm x 250mm white
plastic reducer over end of vent duct running from the fan
motor, and secure with foil tape (Diagram G).
Step 8: Then place 150mm x 250mm reducer at the top
of turret opening in roof ashing, and secure with foil tape
(Diagram H).
IMPORTANT NOTICE
250 Terracotta Flashing/Vented
Fit and secure the extension turret ring to the turret of the
ashing before proceeding with Step 8 - above
Vent Vap Installation
Step 9: Drill a 5mm diameter hole in each of the 3 legs,
10mm up from the end of leg. Place vent cap over top of the
ashing/fan unit with one leg centred front face of the ashing
turret.
It may be necessary to cut out a small section on the side of
vent cap - opposite adjacent the two back legs, to make it
easier when xing screws. Using the three pre-drilled holes as
a guide, drill a 3mm pilot hole into turret of the ashing – then
secure vent cap with stainless dome screws (Diagram I).
