Fitting
1. Choose a suitable position for your fan
according to Figure 1 opposite. Use a
cable finder to check if there are any
buried cables or pipes in the ceiling.
Ceiling mounted ventilation should
be ducted through the roof space, by
ducting to an external soffi t under the
eaves or grille in the slope of your roof.
NB: Ducting installed between a floor and
ceiling can only run between joists, not
across them.
2. Mark the position of the vent fascia with a
pencil in a suitable position on the ceiling,
making sure that it is between the joists.
3. Drill a 9mm hole through the ceiling
anywhere along the edge of the pencil
line. Now cut out the hole with a pad saw.
4. Hold the vent fascia against the ceiling
and mark the position of the fixing holes.
Fix the unit in place using suitable heavy
duty plasterboard fixings (not supplied).
5. Attach flexible ducting (not supplied) with
the metal hose clamps. Ensure that the
ducting has a smooth flow towards the
external grille to minimise air resistance.
Follow a similar procedure for the outside
wall grille.
