Mount Main Housing to Structure 9 When mounting the Main Blower Housing, the (4) lag bolts must be attached to joists or studs, or other structural members. When mounting the main blower housing between floor joists or walls studs, it is necessary to space the blower housing off the floor or wall using a minimum 2x4 wood spacer. The wood spacers should be properly secured to the joists or studs. DO NOT secure the wood spacers to the sub-floor or wall materials. 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. All duct connections should be sealed with duct tape and secured with screws. Connect the Romex cable from the downdraft ventilation unit to the main blower housing. DO NOT mount the main blower housing directly to sub-flooring or wall materials, this will not support the remote blower housing correctly. Before making any electrical connections, verify that the blower wheel spins freely. Make the required electrical connections according to the attached wiring diagram. 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 flex. 16" (40.6 cm) Flooring or Wall Over 16" (40.6 cm) Inlet Cross Brace or Cleat Bracket Inlet Joist or Stud Main Blower Housing 1/4" Lag Bolts 1/4" Lag Bolts Mounting on Joists or Studs Spaced 16" Mounting Between Joists or Studs Spaced More Than16"
