2. INSTALLATION
2.1 INSTALLING AFG SLR MODEL
NOTE:
The AFG SLR model fans are designed to mount behind existing
!
!
vents. If no vent exists, one must be installed. Vent should be installed
in the upper center section of the gable.
NOTE:
The mounting brackets for the AFG SLR model fans are on
!
!
sliding rails. Simply loosen the 8 nuts on the 4 mounting brackets to
slide the bracket into the proper position for your installation. (as
shown in Figure 2.1A) The fan should be flush to the gable vent when
installed.
NOTE:
The AFG SLR model fans include (8) screws that can be used
! !
on masonry or brick and (8) screws with washers that can be used on
wood and shingles. (see Figure 2.1B)

1. 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:
Flush Mount: The AFG SLR 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 2.1C)
Fasten the fan to the vent frame studs. Once fastened, tighten the 8 mounting
Figure 2.1D
bracket nuts to secure the fan flush to the gable vent.
Wide Mount: The AFG SLR 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 2.1D, two
additional boards must be fastened to the boards framing the gable vent so the AFG SLR
can be mounted securely.
Fasten the fan to the vent frame studs. Once fastened, tighten the 8 mounting bracket
nuts to secure the fan flush to the gable vent.

Odd Mount: The AFG SLR can also be mounted off center for an odd shaped louver (as
shown in Figure 2.1E).
Any area of the louver that is not covered by the AFG SLR 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.
Fasten the fan to the vent frame studs. Once fastened, tighten the 8 mounting bracket
nuts to secure the fan flush to the gable vent.
