Be sure to follow all clearance restrictions in the exterior vent location and restrictions chart in this manual. 2. Cut and frame a 14 5/8” wide by 14 7/8” high opening in the wall. NOTE: The vent pipe is not centered vertically on the power vent. - Page 8 4. After the mounting flange has been attached to the power vent box, slide the assembly through the framed hole. Secure the outer flanges on the mounting flange to the outside wall. Ensure that the power vent is the right way up (exhaust at the bottom).
- Page 9 7. Slide the wall pipe cover, with the small notch oriented at the top, over the vent pipe. Attach the vent pipe to the power vent. Attach the wall pipe cover to the inner wall plate. This ensures that any insulation is retained in the wall and that the correct clearances are maintained.
