- All duct connections must be airtight to maximize efficiency.
- The adjustable frame can expand from 11.41 to 22 inches to fit standard ceiling joists.
Installation Options:
Figure 3.1: Visual guide for the three primary installation methods: Bar Mount, Ceiling Mount, and Direct Beam Mount.
Option 1: Bar Mount Installation
- Attach the adjustable frame (expansion bracket) to the fan unit.
- Extend the frame to span between two ceiling joists or support bars.
- Secure the frame to the joists using appropriate screws.
- Mount the fan unit to the secured frame.
Option 2: Ceiling Mount Installation (using Hoisting Wires)
- Attach the hoisting wires to the designated points on the fan unit.
- Secure the other end of the hoisting wires to a sturdy ceiling structure or joists.
- Ensure the fan is level and securely suspended.
Option 3: Direct Beam Mount (with optional brackets)
- Position the fan unit directly onto a sturdy beam or flat surface.
- Use the provided screws and brackets to secure the fan unit firmly to the beam.
- Ensure all mounting points are tight and stable.
Ducting Connection:
