Fan Installation
When selecting fan (1) mounting location, the
following criteria should be considered: a)
mounting to minimize noise generated by fan
operation; b) service accessibility.
Mounting to minimize noise generated by fan
operation: Mounting the fan (1) as far as
possible from the intake point will minimize fan
operating noise from being transmitted back
through the duct work. Insulated flexible type
duct work (recommended for all bathroom
exhaust applications) will result in much quieter
operation. It is recommended that a minimum
8’ of insulated flexible ducting be used between
any expansion vent and fan (1) for low noise
level.
Service accessibility: Fan (1) location should
allow sufficient access for service.

Installation Considerations
Installation
Warning: For your safety, read and understand
instructions completely before starting. Before
wiring to power supply, turn off electricity at the
fuse or circuit breaker box. Make sure electrical
service to fan is locked in “OFF” position.
Note: Prior to installation, consider the placement
of the 100 CFM Fan carefully, taking into account
the location of electrical, plumbing, and other
fixtures.
Note: All units are suitable for use with solid-state
speed controls
Note: This unit has rotating parts and safety
precautions should be exercised during
installation, operation and maintenance.
Caution: For general ventilation use only. Do not
use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials
and vapors.
Note: All wiring must be done in accordance with
National Electrical Code and local building code.
Note: The combustion air-flow needed for safe
operation of fuel burning equipment may be
affected by this unit’s operation. Follow the
heating equipment manufacturer’s guidelines and
safety standards such as those published by the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the
American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and
Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE).
Note: Exhaust fans must always be vented to the
outdoors.
Note: Acceptable for use over a bathtub or
shower.
Warning: NEVER place a switch where it can be
reached from a tub or shower.
Warning: For installation over a tub or shower,
power source must be externally switched GFCI
circuit and must be installed in accordance with
local and building codes.

Warning: Check voltage at the fan to see if it
corresponds to the motor nameplate.
Warning: Guards must be installed when fan is
within reach of personnel or within seven (7) feet
of working level or when deemed advisable for
safety.
For safety purposes, use safety goggles
at all times.
Check for piping/electrical before
cutting or drilling.
If there is any risk of uninsulated
electrical connections in your wall/ceiling area, use
insulating gloves.
Before wiring to power supply, turn off
electricity at the fuse or circuit breaker box.
Important: It is recommended that all electrical
equipment be tested prior to installation.

Fan Installation
Atmospheric 310
Remove the screws securing the terminal box
cover plate located on the side of the fan (1)
(see figure 3). All fan motor connections are
pre-wired to an electrical terminal strip. A 3/8”
romex type cable restraint connector will be
needed to secure the wiring through the
knockout provided on the side of the terminal
box.
Bring incoming electrical service through the
romex connector and the fan knockout. Be
sure to place the connector nut over the wiring
coming into the terminal box. There are two
open ports on the terminal strip. Using a small
regular screwdriver, tighten the neutral (white)
wire of the incoming supply under the open
terminal strip port labeled “N”. Tighten the line
(black) wire of the incoming supply under the
open terminal strip port labeled “L”. Since the
fan motor is isolated within a plastic housing,
grounding is not necessary (see figure 4).
4.
5.
Secure the romex connector. Secure the
incoming supply with the romex connector.
Replace the fan terminal box cover. All fan
motor and capacitor connections have been
pre-wired from the factory. No additional fan
wiring is necessary.
6.
Using the 1” wood screws (4) provided, attach
the fan mounting bracket (2) to a support beam
at the selected location (see figure 1 on page
6). Note: Fan (1) mounting can be at any
point along the duct and in any angle;
however, vertical mounting is recommended to
reduce condensation buildup in the fan (1). If a
horizontal installation is necessary and
condensation buildup may pose a problem,
wrap insulation around the fan (1).
Attach fan (1) to the mounting bracket (2) with
the three 7/16" sheet metal screws (5)
provided, making sure the wiring box is
positioned for easy access (see figure 2 on
page 6). Note: Bracket (2) is provided with
rubber vibration isolation grommets (3) to
prevent the transmission of sound through the
structure. Be careful not to overtighten. Also,
care should be taken not to strip the plastic
housing. Screws (5) are selftapping and do not
require pilot holes. However, pilot holes no
larger than 3/32" are recommended.

3.
Based on the bathroom layout and fixtures,
plan the location of the expansion vent grilles
(2) for the most effective ventilation.
Punch out the keyhole knockouts (if using) and
the electrical knockout if needed (see figure 6).
Mount expansion vent housing (1) directly to
the ceiling joist using screws and keyhole slots.
Locator tabs on housing should be flush with
the bottom edge of the ceiling joist for correct
positioning of the unit once ceiling material is
installed (see figure 1 on page 10).
OR
Use the expansion vent hanger bars (3) to
suspend the expansion vent housing (1)
between ceiling joists. For correct positioning,
hanger bars (3) should be positioned 13/16"
up from the bottom edge of the ceiling joist.
Tighten anti-slide screws to keep hanger bars
(3) in place. (see figure 2 on page 10).
Note: Expansion vent hanger bars (3) can be
used on ceiling joists up to 24" on center.
Note: If ceiling material is thicker than 5/8" the
locator tabs may be removed to allow the grille
collar to be flush with the finished ceiling
material.
Note: Designed for 1-1/8” ceiling material
maximum.
4.
5.
Cut a 6" round hole for the expansion vent
grille (2). To complete installation for Bath Fan
models with lights, continue with steps 6 and 7.
For models without lights, skip to step 7.
Remove the electrical cover inside the
expansion vent housing (1) using a screwdriver.
Connect power by following wiring diagram
(see figure 7) and following local or National
Electrical Codes. Replace the electrical cover.

Note: Do not use “outdoors” or install where duct
can be exposed to direct sunlight. Prolonged
exposure may cause degradation of vapor barrier.
Note: Do not install where duct can be exposed to
UV radiation from bio-treatment lamps within the
HVAC system. Exposure may cause degradation of
the inner core.
Note: Not not exceed published pressure or
temperature limits.
Note: Do not use duct to hang or support any
diffuser, register, or other equipment during
installation.
Note: Do not use screws or barbed fitting to make
connections on ducts with plain ends.
Note: Duct should be supported at 5’ maximum
intervals unless resting on ceiling joists or truss
supports. 1/2” sag per foot of support spacing is
permissible. Vertically installed duct shall be
stablized by support straps at a maximum of 6’ on
center.
Note: Do not use on oval collars for medium or
high pressure.
Warning: Insulated flexible duct contains fiber glass
wool which has been classified as a possible cancer
hazard by inhalation. Fiber glass wool may cause
temporary irritation to skin, eyes, and respiratory
tract.
Note: Use a poperly fitted NIOSH or MSHA
approved dust/mist respirator.
Note: Avoid breathing fiber glass duct.
Note: Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Note: Wear long-sleeved, loose fitting clothing,
gloves and eye protection.
Note: Wash with soap and warm water after
handling.
Note: Wash work clothes separately and rinse
washer thoroughly.
Note: All tapes, mastics, and non-metallic fasteners
used for field installation of flexible ducts shall be
listed and labeled to Standard UL-181-B - Closure
Systems for use with Flexible Air Ducts and Air
Connectors. Non-metallic fasteners are limited to
6” w.g. maximum positive pressure.
Note: It is recommended a minimum 8’ of
insulated flexible ducting be used between any
expansion vent and fan for low noise level.
Note: A multipurpose tool is recommended for duct
installation.
Note: Follow all applicable codes and standards.
