CHOOSING A LOCATION

Considerthefollowingwhenselectinglocationsforeachofthisunit’scomponents:

LocatingtheIntake(s)

• Positiontheintake(s)abovethesourcesofodorandmoisturetoexhaust.

• Toensureeffectiveairexchangeandcirculation,chooseapositionawayfromwindowsordoors.

• CVK/VK-260 & -450 ONLY:Theadditionalintake,grill,and

damperincudewiththesemodelsmakesitpossibletoventilate

onelargebathroomortwoadjacentbathroomssimultaneously,

asshowninFigure 1: Dual Intake Options at right.Forthe

latteroption,asecondtimer(soldseperately)isnecessary.

LocatingtheFan

• Choosealocationintheatticthatwillbeaccessibleforservice.

• Aminimumdistanceof8feetbetweenthefanandintake(s)is

recommendedforquietoperation.

• Thelongertheductrun,thequieterthefanwillbe.

• Considerthetotallengthofductprovidedinthekit,beingcarefulnottocomeupshort.

LocatingtheRoofCaporWallHood

• Apartfromaestheticconsiderations,selectalocationincloseenoughproximityforthelengthofduct

includedwithyourkit
