The following chart describes an example of one possible
ductwork installation.
OUTSIDE TOP EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY)
NOTE: For back exhaust, care should be taken to align exhaust with space between studs, or wall should be prepared
at the time it is constructed by leaving enough space between the wall studs to accommodate exhaust.
* IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor is used, the bottom corners of the damper
will have to be cut to fit, using the tin snips, in order to allow free movement of the damper.

ductwork installation.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
•
Make sure the screws for the
blower motor and blower plate
are securely tightened when
they are reinstalled. This will
help to prevent excessive
vibration.
•
Make sure the motor wiring has
been properly routed and secured,
and that the wires are not pinched.
