INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Ventilation Fan

MODELS: 671R & 672R

The Exhaust Fan consists of the housing, power unit/blower

assembly (motor, wheel, mounting plate), grille and duct collar.

FAN MUST NOT BE INSTALLED IN A CEILING INSULATED

TO A VALUE GREATER THAN R-40.

SUITABLE FOR USE OVER TUB OR SHOWER ENCLOSURE

WHEN INSTALLED IN A GFCI PROTECTED BRANCH

CIRCUIT.

FOR BEST RESULTS

When installing the Exhaust Fan in a new construction site,

install the housing during the rough-in construction. The blower

unit and grille should be installed after the finished ceiling is in

place.

To install the Exhaust Fan in an existing finished building, an

accessible area is required above the planned location (attic or

crawl space).

1. Locate fan housing next to ceiling joist.

2. Using wood screws (not provided) loosely attach the

housing to ceiling joist through the keyhole slots in

mounting tabs.

3. Adjust housing so that it will be flush with the finished

ceiling. For the grille to fit properly, the housing’s rim must

not extend beyond finished ceiling surface.

4. When housing is properly adjusted, tighten screws in slots.

Mounting Using Hanger Bars

(hanger bars sold separately, order model HB4)

Refer to Figure 3.

1. Insert hanger bars in slots provided in housing.

2. Locate fan housing between joists so that the bottom of the

housing is even with the planned finished ceiling. Extend

the hanger bars to the joists.

3. Use screws or nails (not provided) to secure hanger bars to

ceiling joists.

INSTALLING DUCTWORK

1. Refer to Figure 2. Place duct collar over flanges at

discharge opening of fan. Secure collar by snapping tabs

into slots in flanges.

2. Run 4” round duct from outside to fan’s discharge opening.

3. Connect duct to fan’s duct collar.

WIRING

All wiring must comply with local codes and unit must

be properly grounded.

1. Run 120vAC house wiring (with ground) from wall switch to

fan location.

2. Pull wire through access hole and into junction box.

3. Refer to Figure 4. Use approved wire nuts to connect

house supply wires to fixture as follows: white to white;
