and standards, including re-rated construction codes and
standards.
D. Sufcient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting
of gases through the ue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment
to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as
those published by the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration,
and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local
code authorities.
E. When Cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage
electrical wiring or other hidden utilities.
F. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
WARNING
1. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL
DUCTWORK.
2. THIS FAN IS UL LISTED FOR USE WITH VENT-A-HOOD
MODEL B210R.
CAUTION
1. FOR GENERAL VENTILATION USE ONLY. DO NOT USE
TO EXHAUST HAZARDOUS OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS

elbows to a minimum. 10” round ducting or equivalent is
recommended.
2. Select a location that is free of obstacles such as heating and
air conditioning ducts, water pipes, electrical wiring, etc.
3. Position discharge of the blower down towards ground level
and away from prevailing winds to minimize back drafts.
4. For best appearance, locate the fan on the rear of the house,
below the top of the roof line.

PREPARE LOCATION AND INSTALL BLOWER
FLAT OR LOW SLOPE ROOF MOUNT
1. For at roofs having a pitch less than 1-1/2” of rise per 12”
length, mount the blower on a roof curb as shown in Figure
#1.
2. Position the blower so that discharge-end of the blower slopes
downward and away from prevailing winds.
3. Use ashing and roong mastic to prevent leaks between
the roof, the curb, and the blower.
4. Cut holes for ducting and electrical wiring as shown below.
TYPICAL ROOF MOUNT
1. Position the blower so that discharge-end of the blower slopes
downward and away from prevailing winds.
2. Center the blower duct opening between roof rafters.
3. Remove shingles from the 20” x 20” area and cut openings
for ducting and electrical wiring as shown in Figure #2.
4. Apply a quality grade of roof mastic between the bottom of the
remote blower and the roof. WARNING: Failure to properly
seal between the remote blower and the roof surface may
result in leaks, resulting in damages to roong and ceiling
material.
5. For proper drainage, shingles must fully cover the blower’s
rear ashing ange and not less than 20” of the side anges
as shown in Figure #3. The ashing on the discharge-end of
the blower must rest on top of the roof shingles.
TYPICAL ROOF MOUNT, CONTINUED
6. Fasten the blower to the roof using the mounting screws
provided.
7. Apply roof mastic between the shingles, the remote blower,
and any exposed screw heads.
WALL MOUNT WITH LAP SIDING
1. Remove siding from the 24” x 28” area as shown in Figure
#4. CAUTION: Do not cut through the wooden sheathing
behind the siding.
2. Use furring strips to frame in around the siding. For best
appearance, the thickness of the strips should be equal to
or greater than the thickness of the siding.
3. Anchor the frame securely to the sheathing with glue and
wood screws. Caulk all joints to prevent water leakage.
4. Cut openings for ducting and electrical connector as shown
above.
5. Apply caulk around the front face of the furring strips.
6. Fasten the blower to the frame using the screws provided.
