Ventilation Fan Installation Instructions
Please Read And Save These Instructions.
DO NOT CONNECT POWER SUPPLY UNTIL FAN IS COMPLETELY INSTALLED.
MAKE SURE ELECTRICAL SERVICE TO FAN IS LOCKED IN "OFF" POSITION.
DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE SERVICING FAN.
1. WARNING! Do not use fan in hazardous environments where fan electrical system
could provide ignition to combustible of flammable materials.
2. WARNING! Do not use fan to pump explosive or corrosive gases.
3. WARNING! Check voltage at the fan to insure it corresponds with nameplate.
4. WARNING! Normal operation of this device may affect the combustion airflow
needed for safe operation of fuel burning equipment. Check for possible backdraft
conditions on all combustion devices after installation.
5. NOTICE! There are no user serviceable parts located inside the fan unit.
Do NOT attempt to open. Return unit to the factory for service.
6. All wiring must be in accordance with local and national electrical codes

1.0 Mounting
The RV Series fan may be mounted at and angle without affecting performance
although the vertical mounting position shown in Fig. 1 is highly recommended. If the
vertical mounting position is not possible, care should be taken to avoid creating a low
spot in the fan/duct system where condensation might accumulate in the fan housing
as shown in Fig. 2. In situations where horizontal mounting is desired and
condensation is likely to occur (bathroom ventilation in cold climates) this problem
might be avoided by mounting the fan 30 degrees beyond horizontal as shown in Fig. 3.
2.0 Ducting
Any type of ducting is acceptable, however, flexible nonmetallic ducting is
recommended for easy installation and quieter operation. Insulated flexible ducting is
highly recommended in cold climates to prevent the warm bathroom air from forming
condensation in the ducting where it is exposed to colder attic air. The outlet of the fan
should always be ducted to the outside. Avoid venting the outlet of the fan directly into
an attic area. The excess moisture from the bathroom can cause damage to building
structure and any items stored in the attic. Multiple venting points may be connected
together using a "T" or "Y" fitting. Straight smooth runs of ducting will present the least
resistance and maximize system performance.
For quietest performance, the fan should be mounted further away from the inlet duct,
near the outside vent. A minimum distance of 10 feet is recommended between the fan
or T/Y of a multi-intake system and intake grille(s).
3.0 Backdraft Dampers
Backdraft dampers allow airflow in only one direction preventing cold/hot drafts from
entering the vented area and minimize possible condensation and icing within the
system while the fan is not operating. Backdraft dampers are highly recommended at
each intake grille for bathroom ventilation in all cold climate installations.
4.0 Electrical Wiring
Electrical connection to the fan should be performed by a qualified person in
accordance with all local, state and national electrical codes. A Ground Fault
Interrupter (GFI) circuit is not required in most installations, check your local codes.
5.0 Applications
Suitable for general ventilation, bathroom venting, fresh air supply, duct boosting,
building pressurization, etc. Not suitable for dryer duct venting or kitchen range
hood venting.

6.0 Installation
Step 1: Install (3) rubber grommets into Mounting Bracket
(P/N 25007-1, included) to provide vibration isolation. Attach the
fan to the mounting bracket with (3) #10 self-tapping screws,
provided. Avoid over tightening screws.
Step 2: Select location for fan mounting. A location 2/3
along the ducting, a minimum of 10 feet away from the inlet vent
to the fan or the Y/T of a multi-intake system will provide the
quietest operation. Fan should be mounted vertically to prevent
moisture from accumulating in the fan housing. Attach bracket to
mounting structure with the 1 1/4” screws provided.
Step 3: Connect ductwork between fan inlet and area to be
vented through inlet grille. Flexible, nonmetallic ducting is
recommended for quietest operation and easiest installation.
Insulated flexible ducting is highly recommended for bathroom
ventilation in all cold climate installations.
Step 4: Connect inlet grille(s). An optional backdraft
damper may be installed in the inlet grille to prevent cold air from
backing into the inlet and also prevent condensation from forming
inside the ductwork. Backdraft dampers are highly recommended
at each intake grille for bathroom ventilation in all cold climate
installations.
Step 5: Connect outlet of fan to outside vent. The outside vent
may go through the roof, sidewall or soffit as desired. Flexible,
nonmetallic ducting is recommended for quietest operation and
easiest installation. Insulated flexible ducting is highly
recommended for bathroom ventilation in all cold climate
installations.
Step 6: Make electrical connection to fan. Observe the proper
