Installation – Triangular Gable Vents (continued)
1
Framing the opening
For new installation or installation behind existing louvers,
using 2 x 4 studs, frame an opening at least 18 ¼-in square
(depending on stud spacing) on center, on the attic side of
the gable.
2
Covering the opening and cutting
thehole
Cover the opening with a square piece of plywood,
paneling, or sheetrock, at least 21 ¼-in square (depending
on stud spacing).
Cut a 15-in. diameter hole in the center of this panel to
allow the shroud of the fan to enter the hole.
IMPORTANT: Block off any remaining open vent area
in the gable.
3
Installing the shutter
With the mounting nuts (D) and mounting bolts (E), secure
the 4 mounting brackets (C) to the shroud and then fasten
the unit to the frame.
NOTE: Mounting the long side of the L brackets with the
long side to the shroud may better t your installation and
help reduce vibration.
Seal off any gaps around the fan to allow the fan to
function at maximum efciency.
