Install Downdraft Vent In-Line (External
Type) Blower Motor
NOTE: Your downdraft vent requires you to purchase an in-line
(external type) blower motor system. See "Blower Motor System"
in the "Accessories" section.
Prepare for Mounting the In-Line Blower System
The in-line blower system must be fastened to a secure structure
of the roof, ceiling, wall, floor, or new or existing frame
construction. The 4 holes on either the inlet (bottom) side or the
outlet (top) side of the blower must be used to mount the in-line
blower system to the structure.
NOTE: The mounting hole locations must span the studs.
Additional stud framing may be required. Plywood may be used
to span open areas between ceiling or floor joists or roof rafters
to aid installation. This structure must be strong enough to
support the weight of the in-line blower system (50 lb
[22.6 kg] min).
