of the adaptor into the bottom of the fan
housing opening. (Fig. 2)
4. Remove junction box cover and secure
conduit or strain relief to junction box cover
knock-out hole ( A or B ). (Fig.3)
6. Affix the junction box cover to junction box.
If the knock-out hole is used B , this step
must be performed after step 8.
7. Insert the tongue on the bottom of the
junction box so that it is on the outside of
the fan housing.
Before affixing screw (ST4.2X8), make
sure the tongue of the junction box is
clipped on fan housing correctly. (Fig.3)
8. Affix the junction box to the top of the
fan housing with screw (ST4.2X8). (Fig.4)
Mount junction box cover carefully so
that lead wires are not pinched.

blower to the junction box. (Fig.9)
Before turning on the fan, make sure the
connector is inserted at the correct position.
Failure to properly connect will result in fan not
working.(Fig.9)
The claw of connector must latch to the rib
completely.(Fig.9)

INSTALLATION FOR FV-07VBB1

The ducting from this fan to the
outside of the building has a strong effect on the air flow, noise and energy use of the fan. Use
the shortest, straightest duct routing possible for best performance, and avoid installing the fan
with smaller ducts than recommended. Insulation around the ducts can reduce energy loss and
inhibit mold growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not achieve their rated air flow.
P0816-0 07VBA1M420
Fig.15
Properly insulate the area around the
fan to minimize building heat loss and
gain. (Fig.15)
Loose fill or batt insulation can be
placed directly over the fan housing in
the attic. Our fans and fan/light
combination units do not create
excessive heat that is a common
problem with recessed light fixtures or
some competitor’s fan/light
combination. Our efficient, cool-running
motors and our fluorescent lamps do
not create enough ambient heat to be
subjected to these limitations.
