2. INSTALLATION
2.1 INSTALLING ATTIC GABLE FAN
NOTE: The AFG model fans are designed to mount behind existing vents. If no vent exists, one must
be installed. Vent should be installed in the upper center section of the gable.
1. Installing the QuietCool AFG is very easy. To install the AFG, simply mount the gable fan to your gable
vents as shown in the following steps. You will use the 16 included All-Purpose screws.
Flush Mount: The AFG can be mounted ush to a rectangular type
louver by fastening through the mounting brackets to the frame of the
louver (as shown in Figure 2.1A). Use 3 All-Purpose screws per tab.
As stated in the note above, any area of the louver that is not covered
by the AFG must be sealed off in order to prevent air leakage, which
may hinder performance.
This is the most conventional method of mounting the AFG. We
recommend using the Flush Mount option if possible for all applications.
Wide Mount: The AFG can be mounted on a wide louver, but additional
mounting steps must be taken in order for the fan to work properly. As
shown in Figure 2.1B, two additional boards must be fastened to the
boards framing the gable vent so the AFG can be mounted securely.
Use 3 All-Purpose screws per tab.
As stated in the note above, any area of the louver that is not covered by
the AFG must be sealed off in order to prevent air leakage, which may
hinder performance.
Odd Mount: The AFG can also be mounted off center for an odd shaped
louver (as shown in Figure 2.1C). Use 3 All-Purpose screws per tab.
As stated in the note above, any area of the louver that is not covered by
the AFG must be sealed off in order to prevent air leakage, which may
hinder performance.
While this is not the most ideal way to mount the gable fan, it is possible.
However, since the fan is not completely covering the vent, maximum
airow will not be achieved.
Once your attic gable fan is mounted to the gable, it is time to mount the Smart Control Hub. First, open
the Hub using a screwdriver. Using the four provided All-Purpose screws, mount the Hub to a wood
member in the attic.
