ABOVE CEILING FOR INSTALLATION OF GA MODEL FANS.
ALWAYS FOLLOW LOCAL BUILDING CODES.
1. Determine in which area you would like to install your QuietCool
Garage Attic Fan.
2. Now it's time to find the exact location using a stud finder or by
going up into the attic and finding the location. Locate the ceiling
studs and mark the location for the fan to be installed.
3. One side of the cut out should be directly next to a wood member
for proper fan mounting and support.
NOTE: The QuietCool Garage Whole House Fan includes

removable flanges in the case that you are installing the fan
between studs that are exactly 16" on center. To remove the
flanges, simply take a screwdriver and pry between the flange
surface and the fan. Do this along the entire edge of the
flange and it will pop off.
4. When you find the location, from down below mark a square using
the template. Make sure you have 2" of clearance all the way around
it so the grille fits with no obstructions. (see Figure 2.1A)
5. Starting at one corner of the square using a drywall saw, cut out
the opening. Remove the drywall cutout and clear away insulation (if
applicable). (see Figure 2.1B)
6. Take the GA fan model into the attic and place it over the ceiling cut
out. (see Figure 2.1C). If needed, you can remove the ceiling flanges
and pass the fan directly through the ceiling cut-out.
7. Attach the fan using screws into the ceiling joists. (see Figure 2.1D).
8. Install the ceiling grille. (see Figure 2.1E)
