ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
■ A 120 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp, fused electrical circuit is required.
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. Use 3¼" x 10"
(8.3 x 25.4 cm) with a maximum vent length of 35 ft (10.7 m) or 6" (15.2 cm)
or larger round vent with a maximum length of 50 ft (15.2 m) for vent system.
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates back pressure and air
turbulence that gently reduces performance.
The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect on the air flow,
noise and energy use of the fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing possible for
best performance, and avoid installing the fan with smaller ducts than recommended.
Insulation around the ducts can reduce energy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed
with existing ducts may not achieve their rated airflow.
Ensure duct joints and exterior penetrations are sealed with caulk or other similar material
to create an air-tight path and to minimize building heat loss and gain and reduce the
potential for condensation.
Place/wrap insulation around duct and/or fan in order to minimize possible condensation
buildup within the duct, building heat loss and gain

Calculating Vent System Length
To calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent feet (meters) for each
vent piece used in the system.
