Prepare The Installation Location - Broan NuTone 331H Instructions Manual

PREPARE THE INSTALLATION
LOCATION
ROOF INSTALLATIONS
1. Locate the blower on the rear slope of the roof.
Place it in a location to minimize duct run. The
location should be free of obstacles (T.V. leads,
electrical lines, etc.). Bear in mind, if the blower top
is level with the roof peak, it will not be seen from
the street. Keep this approximate location in mind
as you work from within the attic.
2. Mark a point halfway between rafters.
3. Drill a guide hole through the roof at this point.

point and mark the rectangular cutout and remove
only the shingles in this area. See Figure 1.
5. Mark an 11" diameter circle centered on the guide
hole and mark the center of the 1-1/4" diameter
electrical wiring hole. See Figure 1.
6. Cut out the roof board(s) along the 11" diameter
circle and drill a 1-1/4" hole as marked.
