1-888-QUIETCOOL 31 1.4 System Venting Requirements

VERY IMPORTANT! - 1 SQUARE FOOT OF NET FREE VENT AREA PER 750 CFM RECOMMENDED! - 2 TO 4 SQUARE FEET OF INLET VENTS PER FAN

Venting plays a very significant role in the performace of QuietCool fans. QuietCool recommends a minimum of 1 SQ. FT. of venting for every 750 CFM in the QuietCool system. If an attic has at least 1:750 attic venting, the QuietCool system will operate efficiently and effectively. If an attic has less than 1:750 attic venting, the system may not operate as efficiently, or effectively, as it could with 1:750 attic venting. But don’t worry, the system will still operate if there is not enough venting.

Insufficient venting is a very simple problem to fix. Roofing contractors can add extra venting to most homes simply and easily. The most common types of venting is shown in the chart below.

Vent Type Model Type Average Size Venting Sq. Ft.

Gable vent 12” x 19.5” 1.20

Dormer Vent 14” x 8” 0.70

4” 0.03 Eave Vent 5” 0.04 6” 0.07

Ridge Vent 4’ - 12’ 0.125 per ft

16” x 4” 0.19 Soffit Vent 16” x 6” 0.29 16” x 8” 0.39

Low/Medium Profile 0.5 Tapered Low Profile 0.6 O’Hagin Vent Low Profile Flat 0.68 High Profile 0.68

8” .35 Turbine Vent 12” .79 14” 1.1

*Note: This table is only a guideline and is not a guarantee of venting capacity.

2 QUIETCOOLSYSTEMS.COM 2. INSTALLATION Installation Video: Watch the video by scanning the QR 2.1.1 Installing AFG (Attic Fan Gable) model fans code or visit www. QuietCoolSystems.com/ NOTE: The AFG model fans are designed to mount behind support existing louvers. If no louver exists, one must be installed. Louver should be installed in the upper center section of the gable.

Installing the QuietCool AFG is very easy. To install the AFG, simply mount the gable fan to your gable vents as shown in the following steps: Figure 2.1A Flush Mount: The AFG can be mounted flush to a rectangular type louver by fastening through the mounting brackets to the frame of the louver (as shown in Figure 2.1A).

As stated in the note above, any area of the louver that is not covered by the AFG must be sealed off in order to prevent air leakage, which may hinder performance.

This is the most conventional method of mounting the AFG. We recommend using the Flush Mount option if possible for all applications.

Figure 2.1B Wide Mount: The AFG can be mounted on a wide louver, but additional mounting steps must be taken in order for the fan to work properly. As shown in Figure 2.1B, two additional boards must be fastened to the boards the gable vent so the AFG can be mounted securely.

As stated in the note above, any area of the louver that is not covered by the AFG must be sealed off in order to prevent air leakage, which may hinder performance.

Figure 2.1C Odd Mount: The AFG can also be mounted off center for an odd shaped louver (as shown in Figure 2.1C).

As stated in the note above, any area of the louver that is not covered by the AFG must be sealed off in order to prevent air leakage, which may hinder performance.

While this is not the most ideal way to mount the gable fan, it is possible. However, since the fan is not completely covering the vent, maximum airflow will not be achieved.

1-888-QUIETCOOL 3 NOTE: The AFG can be mounted on many other types of louvers, including triangle vents, round vents, half-round vents, etc. If the vent is smaller than the area of the fan, we recommend constructing a chamber that surrounds the vent, and then mount the AFG to the chamber to ensure maximum airflow and performance.

2.1.2 Installing AFG (Attic Fan Gable) Vent Covers

Included with your QuietCool Attic Gable Fan are four vent covers that are designed to be installed around the attic fan housing to block any air backdrafting into the attic through a gable vent that is larger than the attic fan cylinder, causing air to cycle in and out around the vent.

1. Take the vent cover and match it to one of the sides around the attic fan housing.

2. Using the two provided wood screws, attach each corner to the wood framing around your gable vent. (See picture for screw locations)

3. Repeat step 1 and 2 for the three additional covers.

READ BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL AN AFR OR RM FAN Getting Started Always follow Local Building Codes because the fan may require specific fasteners or anchoring systems not discussed in this installation guide. Installation should be done by a licensed roofing contractor.

Safety Information Safety precautions should be taken when performing the roofing work described in this installation guide. You can significantly reduce your risk of danger by following the below recommendations: • Do not install the fan in wet or windy conditions • Tie-off both yourself and your equipment when working on steep pitched roofs to avoid falls • Wear safety glasses and protective gloves when using power tools • Always wear slip-resistant shoes when working on the roof • Do not cut through any or structural members of the roof during installation

Ventilation Requirements If the fan is being installed as an attic fan, in order for it to operate at maximum performance, your attic must have enough intake ventilation (net free area) to support the amount of air that your fan is moving. We always recommend 1 SQFT of attic venting per 750 CFM in the system.

Materials Needed • Cordless Drill with Nut • Reciprocating Saw • Roofing Knife Driver • Measuring Tape • Ladder Marker or Carpenter • Self-Tapping Screws with • Weatherproof Roofing Pencil Rubber Bonded Washers Grade Sealant

4 QUIETCOOLSYSTEMS.COM Choosing the Right Location Choose a location to install your QuietCool roof mounted fan that allows for balanced airflow throughout the attic space. We always recommend the fan to be installed centrally located on the roof three feet below the ridge line. This will allow you to access the fan very easily. Your roof mount fan should not be installed any closer than within 5 feet to an existing passive vent, ridge vent, or additional fan unit.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT CUT THROUGH ANY RAFTERS OR STRUCTURAL MEMBERS WHILE CUTTING THE VENT HOLE. ONLY CUT OUT THE ROOF DECKING. Installation Video: Watch the video by scanning the QR code or visit www. 2.2 Installing AFR (Attic Fan Roof) model fans QuietCoolSystems.com/ support

1. Determine in which area you would like to install your QuietCool Attic Roof Mount Fan.

IMPORTANT: After choosing the location where your roof mount attic fan will be installed, find the closest to that location and determine if your roof has either 16” on center or 24” on center rafter spacing.

2. Find the center point between the two rafters and mark it as the center of the vent hole. Partially insert a screw into the center point mark.

NOTE: If you have a tile roof, you will need to move the tiles out of the way before tracing and cutting. (See Figure 2.2A on pg. 6)

3. Go to the roof. Using the screw as a reference point, trace out a 16” diameter circle.

4. Use a reciprocating saw to cut out the traced hole pattern from the roof decking. Remove the cut out decking material from around the hole as needed. (See Figure 2.2B on pg. 6)

5. If you have a shingle roof, insert the reciprocating saw sideways between the shingles and roof decking. Starting at the 3 o’clock position of the vent hole, begin cutting in a sweeping motion under the shingles, cutting through any roofing nails or staples. Continue cutting counterclockwise around the vent hole until reaching the 9 o’clock position. Using a roofing knife, cut a 4 inch horizontal slit in the shingles at the 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock positions of the hole, allowing the fan’s flashing to slide underneath the shingles.

6. Apply weatherproof material to the roof. (See Figure 2.2C on pg. 6)

7. Position the fan so that it is centered with the vent hole and allow the power cord to hang freely from the bottom of the fan unit. The power cord comes in 20 ft length. Make sure your fan is close enough to an outlet in your attic. (See Figure 2.2D on pg. 6)

1-888-QUIETCOOL 5 7. Lifting the fan unit up at an angle, apply weatherproof caulking to the bottom side of the fan unit. This will help keep the fan in place and will seal nice and tight.

8. With all fan cables connected and hanging inside the vent hole, slide the fan unit underneath the shingles until the fan reaches the top of the hole. Secure the fan flashing to the roof. Finish caulking around the fan and flashing it into the roof to make a nice seal. (See Figure 2.2E)

9. Your install is complete! (See Figure 2.2F)

2.3 Installing RM (Roof Mount) model fans

1. Determine in which area you would like to install your QuietCool Roof Mount Fan. (See Figure 2.3D for assistance in figuring out how to install the fan)

IMPORTANT: After choosing the location where your roof mount attic fan will be installed, find the closest rafter to that location and determine if your roof has either 16” on center or 24” on center rafter spacing.

IMPORTANT: If you are installing the RM fan as a ducted fan, it’s time to find the exact location for your ceiling box and grille using a stud finder. Locate the wall studs and mark the location for the box to be installed. Minimum of 20” clearance required. Make sure the duct will fit between the fan location and the ceiling box location. Using a drywall saw, cut out the drywall.

2. Find the center point between the two rafters and mark it as the center of the vent hole. Partially insert a screw into the center point mark.

6 QUIETCOOLSYSTEMS.COM NOTE: If you have a tile roof, you will need to move the tiles out of the way before tracing and cutting. (See Figure 2.2A)

3. Go to the roof. Using the screw as a reference point, trace out either a 14” (RM ES-1100) or 16” (RM ES- 2200) diameter circle. NOTE: The RM ES-2200 will only fit 24” on center.

4. Use a reciprocating saw to cut out the traced hole pattern from the roof decking. Remove the cut out decking material from around the hole as needed. (See Figure 2.2B on pg. 6)

5. If you have a shingle roof, insert the reciprocating saw sideways between the shingles and roof decking. Starting at the 3 o’clock position of the vent hole, begin cutting in a sweeping motion under the shingles, cutting through any roofing nails or staples. Continue cutting counterclockwise around the vent hole until reaching the 9 o’clock position. Using a roofing knife, cut a 4 inch horizontal slit in the shingles at the 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock positions of the hole, allowing the fan’s flashing to slide underneath the shingles.

6. Apply weatherproof material to the roof. (See Figure 2.2C on pg. 6)

7. Position the fan so that it is centered with the vent hole and allow the power cord to hang freely from the bottom of the fan unit. The power cord comes in 20 ft length. Make sure your fan is close enough to an outlet in your attic. (See Figure 2.2D on pg. 6)

7. Lifting the fan unit up at an angle, apply weatherproof caulking to the bottom side of the fan unit. This will help keep the fan in place and will seal nice and tight.

8. With all fan cables connected and hanging inside the vent hole, slide the fan unit underneath the shingles until the fan reaches the top of the hole. Secure the fan flashing to the roof. Finish caulking around the fan and flashing it into the roof to make a nice seal. (See Figure 2.2E on pg. 6)

IMPORTANT: If installing as an attic fan, you are done!

IMPORTANT: If you are installing the RM fan in a flat or sloped ceiling application without duct, find the location for your ceiling box and grille using a stud finder. Locate the wall studs and mark the location for the box to be installed. Using a drywall saw, cut out the drywall. Place the ceiling box (if applicable) over the ceiling cut out. Attach the ceiling box using screws into the ceiling . (see Figure 2.4D on pg. 9) Install the ceiling grille. (see Figure 2.5H on pg. 10)

QuietCool Garage Fans work great to cool your garage, man cave, or workshop. Our two models work for different applications. Our GA ES-1500 works to cool and ventilate your garage and the attic above your garage. This greatly reduced the heat transfer between the attic and garage on really hot days. Our GX ES-1100 works well to cool and ventilate your garage. Run both of these fans when it is cooler outside than it is in your garage.

Don’t let your garage get hot and worry about damage to your vehicles, motorcycles, boat, etc.; just install a QuietCool Garage Fan!

4.5 QuietCool Roof Mount Fans (RM ES-1100 and RM ES-2200)

The QuietCool (RM) Roof Mount Fans are the most versatile fans that we offer. They can be used as an attic fan, a whole house fan with a duct, or a whole house fan with multiple inlet vents. QuietCool Roof Mount Fans also work where a conventional QuietCool Whole House Fan will not. Roof Mount fans work with homes that have a sealed attic, manufactured homes with no attic, homes with cathedral ceilings, and even industrial buildings such as warehouses.

If you installed your Roof Mount as a whole house fan, run the fan when it is cooler outside than it is inside your home. Be sure to crack open a few select in your home and let the Roof Mount fan do the rest.

If you installed your Roof Mount as an attic fan, set your thermostat and let it run! When installed as an attic fan, it is effective almost everywhere, almost anytime.
