3.4 To Attach the Duct
Note:
For quiet operation, and to maximize performance, Fantech
recommends the following:
• Use insulated flexible duct for quiet operation
• If rigid duct is used, use 1–3 feet (0.3–0.91 meters) of in-
sulated flexible duct.
• Insulate the duct to minimize energy losses.
• If installing in an unconditioned space, attach insulation to
the product to prevent condensation
Note:
3/8 inch (10mm) strain relief is not included.
1Remove cover of the junction box and set aside.
2Refer to the 4.4 Wiring Diagrams section.
3Attach a trade sized 3/8 inch (10mm) strain relief to the
junction box knockout hole.
4Position the wires of the junction box through the strain
relief.
5Once the wires of the junction box have been correctly
connected, replace the junction box cover.
6Using duct tape, attach the duct to the duct connector.
7Examine the duct around the duct connector to make sure
the seal is air tight.

3.5 To Manage the Duct Run
1Using duct tape, attach additional ducts to the product to
make sure air is released to the outdoors.
2Depending on the shortest & straightest direction to the
outdoors, place the duct run either through the roof or
through the wall.
3If the duct was installed through the roof, attach an applica-
ble roof cap to the end of the duct run.
4If the duct was installed through the wall, attach an applica-
ble wall cap to the end of the duct run.
5Place insulation around the product’s casing.
6With sealant, close all gaps between the framing and the
product’s casing.
