SUITABLE FOR USE OVER TUB OR SHOWER ENCLOSURE
WHEN INSTALLED IN A GFCI PROTECTED BRANCH CIRCUIT.

FOR BEST RESULTS

When installing the exhaust fan in a new construction site,

install housing during the rough-in construction of the building.
The blower unit and grille should be installed after the finished
ceiling is in place.

To install the exhaust fan in an existing finished building

requires an accessible area (attic or crawl space) above the
planned location.

DUCTWORK

1. Use 4" round duct.
2. Plan to run duct from discharge opening of fan to the outside.

For best fan performance, make duct run as short as possible.

3. Use optional NuTone ducting accessories as needed. Refer to

your NuTone catalog for a complete listing of available
accessories.

WIRING

Plan to run 120vAC house wiring (with ground) from power

source, through a standard wall switch to junction box in fan
housing.
