Planning
When mounting the main blower housing, be sure
to fully engage the inlet collar of the blower with the
round duct inlet from the downdraft ventilation unit.
Secure the outlet to the exhaust duct.
DO NOT mount the blower unit by the cover, or by
using any plumbing straps, or by any other method
than fastening with the lag bolts into solid structural
support members.
When mounting the unit, do not warp or bend
the housing, or mount in such a manner that the
connected ductwork causes the housing to fl ex.
Verify that the blower wheel spins freely.
Make sure that there is an appropriate damper
installed on the discharge ducting, per local code or
national building code, to prevent backfl ow of air.

Ductwork
Use galvanized or aluminum duct in 8” / 10” round or
3¼”x14” / 4”x14” / 4¾”x14” size, or a combination of
both. PVC duct should be used if installing under a
poured concrete slab. Use the shortest and straightest
duct run possible.

air, be sure to duct air outside – Do not vent
exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings
or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
