INSTALLATION (TOOLS REQUIRED)
• Reciprocating saw • 5/16” nut runner or socket • Siding tools (dependent on exterior finish)
• Drill and 1/2” bit • Phillips screwdriver • Level
INSTALLATION
NOTE: Before cutting opening through wall, confirm XCHANGER
TM
hood termination clearances are met as noted on bottom of page 3.
1. A) Center template and tape to the rim joist between the floor joists/trusses XCHANGER
TM
will be mounted through, (See
Diagram B).
B) If XCHANGER
TM
is not installed between floor joists or trusses, attach the template to the wall it will be exiting, ensuring
XCHANGER
TM
will be level.
2. CAUTION: When cutting or drilling into wall, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities. Using a 1/2” bit, drill pilot
holes noted on the template from inside through rim joist, wall board, siding, etc., keeping drill bit perpendicular to the wall. 1/2” bit
must be long enough to penetrate through exterior.
3. Use a level to mark (4) holes drilled in step 2 and connect the holes on building exterior, (See Diagram C). Use a saw to
remove material between marks, (See Diagram D).
