3-2 Installing Vertical Adapter (vertical adapter models shown on page 8)

A vertical wall adapter allows a damper box to be installed in the wall instead of the ceiling. A vertical adapter

is installed on the wall with the damper box mounted diagonally to the wall so the damper doors close

properly when the fan is turned off.

NOTE: Measure the studs in your wall. If they are 16”

on center, you will need to follow steps 1 through 4

completely. If they are wider than 16” on center, you

will only need to follow steps 1 & 4.

NOTE: The damper box MUST be installed with the

damper doors oriented vertically. If the damper box

is mounted on the wall with the damper doors horizontally, the damper doors will not

operate correctly.

1. Note the T (TOP) side of the vertical adapter. Place the

vertical adapter with the T side up onto the damper box

with the side that has only two flanges, flush on the

damper box.

2. If you have studs spaced at 16” on center, you will need

to remove certain flanges on the damper box and vertical

adapter. Using a flat head screwdriver, remove the two side

flanges on the vertical adapter. (See Figure 1)

3. Using a flat head screwdriver, remove the two side flanges on

the damper box. Make sure that you are removing the flanges

on the same side as the flanges you removed on the vertical

adapter. (See Figure 2)

4. Using the included black sharp screws, attach the vertical

adapter to the damper box by screwing them together

through the two remaining flanges. (See Figure 3)

5. The vertical adapter is now installed. Go back to step 8 on

page 10 and continue your installation.
