PRACTICAL GUIDE TO INSTALLATION
Properly insulate the area around the
fan to minimize building heat loss and
gain. (Fig.16)
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 LED lamp do not create
enough ambient heat to be subjected
to these limitations.

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.
