FIBERGLASS FAN
GENERAL INFORMATION
Congratulations on the purchase of your new high performance fiberglass fan. This fan is made of materials that ensure long lasting
performance and is designed with features that make it one of the most efficient and easy to use and care for fans available today. Your
fan comes completely assembled except for the steel turn clips that can be quickly assembled into the pre- drilled holes around the outside
flanges of the fan. All fans are tested for proper operation before leaving the factory.
Your fan should be installed into a wood frame (see Chart #1 for dimensions).

INSTALLATION
FGl36 and FG48 Models
Remove the fan from the shipping crate. A hardware bag is secured to the motor support arm. The hardware bag contains 8 turn clips, 8
nylon washers, 8 #10-24 x 3/4" stainless steel screws, and 8 nylon insert nuts. This hardware is for the turn clips that hold the shutter
assembly in place. Assemble the 8 turn clips to the pre-drilled 1/4" holes. For each of the 8 turn clips insert the screw through the hole from
the back of the flange, slide on a nylon washer, then the clip, and thread the nut. Tighten the turn-clips with a Phillips screw driver and a
3/8" socket wrench (see Figure 1-B).

Simply remove the fan from the carton and proceed to the next section.
All Fan Models
With the shutter removed, slide the fan into the framed opening. Push the fan up against the top of the frame to be sure the fan slopes
downward for drainage to the outside. There are pre-drilled 5/16" holes for securing the fan with lag bolts. Secure the 4 sides being sure
the inside dimensions of the fan are consistent between flanges and square so that clips and shutters will operate correctly
(see Figure 1-A). Also it is recommended that you caulk the perimeter of the fan for improved insulation.
CAUTION
IF USING EXPANDING FOAM TO INSULATE, MAKE SURE EXPANSION PRESSURE DOES NOT
DAMAGE THE HOUSING.
