- Imepe ụlọ: The recommended ceiling opening size is approximately 9-7/8" x 9-7/8". If replacing an existing fan, measure the current opening. If the existing opening is smaller, it will need to be enlarged to accommodate the new housing.
- Ntugharị: Plan for a 4-inch round duct connection. Use rigid metal ducting for best performance.
- Ọkụ eletrik: Ensure a 120V AC power supply is available. The fan and light can be wired to operate jointly or separately via wall switches.
Nkọwa onyonyo: This image displays the critical dimensions for installation. It shows the fan housing size as 9-3/8" x 9-3/8" x 7-5/16", the grille cover size as 11" x 11", and the recommended ceiling opening size as 9-7/8" x 9-7/8". This helps ensure proper fit during installation.
Nkọwa onyonyo: An installation notice highlighting the housing dimensions (9.4" x 9.4" x 7.7") and emphasizing that the opening hole size should be based on the housing size. It advises checking existing opening sizes for replacements and cutting the hole to match the new housing if necessary.
2. Mounting the Fan Housing
- Gbanyụọ ọkụ na ihe nbibi sekit.
- Cut the ceiling opening to the specified dimensions (approx. 9-7/8" x 9-7/8").
