Installation Guide Highlights
- Safety: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE
- Safety: Spot ventilation: These fans are also built to take care of the homeowner’s spot ventilation needs when the room
- Do not use this unit with any solid-state speed control device. Solid state controls may cause harmonic
- Do not install this ventilating fan where interior room temperature may exceed 104°F (40°C)
- Insert body and slide it into the adapter assembly until you hear a click from the hook
- The Flex-Z Fast bracket position can be adjusted from 16" to 24" between joists or studs
Application Examples
- Bathrooms where continuous ventilation and integrated LED lighting are required.
- Master bathrooms at the 110 CFM setting for tubs and large showers.
- Residential new construction meeting ASHRAE 62.2, LEED, NGBS, EarthCraft, and California Title-24.
- R60 ceiling insulation installations in cold-climate and high-efficiency builds.
Installation Tips
- Confirm a 120V, 60 Hz circuit and use 6" duct for full CFM performance or 4" duct with reducer for retrofit.
- Use the articulating/expandable bracket (up to 24") for joist spans from 16" to 24".
- Add Plug 'N Play® modules as needed: FV-CSVK1, FV-MSVK1, FV-CMVK3, FV-VS15VK1, or WP100PBA.
- All electrical work should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with local codes.
