4. Installation
The Ventline V2262-50 fan is designed for easy ceiling installation. An 8-inch diameter rough-in opening is required for proper mounting. Ensure the installation area is clear of electrical wiring and other utilities.

4.3 Electrical Connection
Connect the fan to a 115V power supply. All electrical wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician and comply with local electrical codes. Ensure the power is disconnected at the circuit breaker before making any electrical connections.
4.4 Ducting and Grille Installation
Connect appropriate ducting (e.g., P7.19 Series Hard Duct or VC0292 Flex Duct, sold separately) to the fan's exhaust port and vent it to the outdoors. Once ducting is secure, attach the 10-inch diameter inside grille to the fan assembly. The self-closing foam damper will open and close as the fan operates, preventing backdrafts when the fan is off.
