THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
1. Use the product only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.
2. Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch off the power at the main service panel and lock it to prevent the power
from accidentally being turned on. If the panel cannot be locked securely, fasten a prominent warning device, such as
tag, to it. If the unit is not hard-wired but rather plugged into a 120 volt outlet, simply unplug the cord from the
receptacle.
3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes
and standards, include fire-rated construction codes and standards.
4. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
5. The fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
6. The fan may have sharp edges. Use caution to avoid being cut when installing and cleaning.
7. This fan must be grounded.
CAUTION!
1. For general ventilation use only. Not for use in fire rated installations. Do not use the fan to exhaust hazardous or
explosive materials and vapors.
2. For interior use only. Mount with the lowest moving parts at least 8 feet (2.5 meters) above the floor or grade level.
3. To avoid the motor damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impeller, keep drywall spray, construction duct, etc.
off power unit.
4. Prior to installation operations make sure there is no visible damage to the impeller and housing.
Also make sure there are no foreign objects that may have accidentally gotten into the fan.
5. Please read specification label on product for further information and requirements.
6. To be installed by qualified personnel.
7. Connect the fan through breaker box.
8. Both the inlet and outlet must have no obstructions for the VKP / VKPF to work properly and be covered by the warranty.
9. When storing the fan keep it in a dry, weather-protected environment in the original packaging.
If the fan has been stored or set in a cold environment, wait 2 hours before connecting it to the power source.

The VENTS VKP PS Series dryer booster fan has been
specially designed to solve dryer vent problems where
more airflow is needed.
The VENTS VKP PS dryer booster fans assure efficient and
reliable operation. The pre-installed pressure switch
allows the VKP PS fan to run only when it senses that the
dryer is on. The controller cycles the fan until the dryer has
stopped. The fans are fitted with backward curved
centrifugal impeller, which allows lint not to get stuck in
the fan. The VENTS VKP PS fans are driven by powerful
sealed external rotor motor with lifelong bearings and
thermal protection. This powerful combination enables
the VENTS VKP PS fans to deliver exceptional airflow
performances even in long duct runs. The fan’s housing is
made of galvanized steel. The external rotor motor on ball
bearings and the backward curved, balanced impeller is
suitable for high pressure application, prevent vibration
and assure quiet operation.
Each set contains:
1. Fan - 1 pc;
2. Manual;
3. Packing box.
Specification:
Voltage: 120 V, 60 Hz
Motor: Single-phase external rotor motor with
backward curvedcentrifugal impellers

Air flow direction should match the direction of an arrowhead placed on the fan case.
To ensure quiet operation of ENERGY STAR qualified in-line fans, each fan shall be installed using sound attenuation techniques
appropriate for the installation. Insulated flexible type duct work (recommended for all bathroom exhaust applications) will result in
quieter operation. We recommend minimum 8" of insulated flexible duct between any exhaust grill and fan for low noise level. Flexible
duct should be connected to the fan with hose clamps (VENTS C series is recommended), Aluminum Foil Tape or both. All connections
should be as airtight as possible to maximize system performance and eliminate air leakage. When using flexible type duct work, duct
should as tight and straight as possible. In case you intend to use non-flexible ducts we recommend to install flexible connectors (VENTS
VVG series is highly recommended) which are designed to exclude the vibration transmission from fans to air duct. Remove any
insulation from the area where you will be mounting the fan. Insulation should never be installed over any part of an exhaust fan. Keep
the insulation at least 3" away from the fan casing.
