Message from our president… Congratulations! You’re in the club. You’ve seen the light. You own the best solar attic fan sold in the United States. While we look forward to cooling your attic, thus saving you on utility bills, there are other advantages to the Remington Solar attic fan as well.
Each model is a bit different SF20 – This is a simple encased panel fan that flashes underneath the leading edge of your shingles. This unit includes humidistat and thermostat. Make sure you remove the small plastic bag that has the small thermostat and humidistat (underneath the fan near the blade) after installation. Also, clip the small plastic tie that will allow the thermostat to hang (approximately 2 feet) from the unit (to get an accurate attic temperature reading).
Handy Tips 1. Choose the location carefully to ensure optimal sun exposure through the day. Check for any shade on the roof created by trees, chimney, or satellite dish. 2. Measure twice and cut once. Take a minute to create a template that will create the correct dimensions for your cut. 3. Center the Solar Attic Fan approximately 2 feet away from the roof ridge to facilitate good circulation. NOTE: using Remington Solar attic fans with ridge vents are fine.
Step 7 Position the four screws around the flashing. Two screws go on either side, and the remaining two go on the top and bottom. Step 8 Lay a bead of Silicone Sealant along the edge of the shaft base to insure a waterproof seal Step 9 Use the screws and nuts to fasten the angle of the panel (South or south west is typically the optimal angle, however, we prefer flat to the earth since you will need more power in summer months.
