Installation Instructions
READ ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING TO INSTALL THIS UNIT.
WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
1. Before servicing or cleaning this unit, switch power o at the service panel and
lock out to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When service
disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning tag to
the service panel.
2. Installation work and electrical wiring must be performed by a qualied person
in accordance with the applicable codes and standards, including re-related
construction.
3. When cutting or drilling into a wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and
other hidden utilities.
4. The combustion airow needed for safe operation of fuel-burning equipment may
be aected by this unit’s operation. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s
guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire and
Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration
and Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
CAUTION
1. This unit has an unguarded
impeller. Do not use in locations
readily accessible to people or
animals.
2. Mount with the lowest moving
parts at least 8-feet above oor
level.
3. For general ventilating use only.
Do not use to exhaust hazardous
or explosive materials and
vapors.
4. Carbon monoxide is an odorless,
colorless gas that can kill. It
may be drawn into the house
by operating this fan if your
fuel-burning equipment is not
properly maintained, or if you
lack the adequate attic intake
vents.

potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safetry
messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible
injury or death.
Danger indicates an imminently hazardous situation, which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
THIS GABLE-MOUNTED UNIT IS DESIGNED FOR ATTICS OF AVERAGE SIZE AND OPERATES MOST EFFICIENTLY WHEN AIR
INTAKES ARE LOCATED AROUND THE EAVES. ALTERNATIVELY, AIR INTAKE MAY BE FROM OPPOSING GABLE VENTS, BUT
NEVER FROM ROOF OR RIDGE VENTS. AT LEAST 600 SQ. IN OF NET FREE AIR INTAKE IS REQUIRED PER UNIT FOR SAFE
AND EFFICIENT OPERATION. THE MOTOR OPERATES ON 120 V, 60 HZ, A.C. CURRENT. SEE MOTOR LABEL FOR
AMPERAGE.
THIS UNIT MAY BE MOUNTED BEHIND ANY STATIC WALL VENT, OR MODELS VX1818 OR CX2121 AUTOMATIC SHUTTERS.
Step 1 Step 3
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.
Step 2
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.
It is important to block off any remaining open
vent area in the gable.
With the nuts and bolts furnished, secure the 4
mounting brackets to the shroud and then
fasten the unit to the frame.
Mounting the long side of the
L brackets to the shroud may
better fit your installation and
also help reduce
vibration.
The use of a
sound-dampening
barrier, such as
rubber washers or foam stripping will help
reduce resonance
in the walls. Seal
off any gaps
around
the fan,
in order for
the fan to
function at
maximum
efficiency.
TIP:MUCH OF THE PREPARATION, WIRING OF
THERMOSTAT, TESTING, AND MOUNTING TO THE
FRAME CAN BE COMPLETED BEFORE FINAL
INSTALLATION IN THE ATTIC.
