1.
Remove the cut-out template that will be used to mark the rough opening cut-out in
QC - 1000 rough opening is 12 - 3/4" x 21-1/2"
the ceiling.
2. Determine from down below in which areas you would like to install your
QuietCool fans.
3. Go up into the attic to mark the exact location for each fan. Take the cardboard
cut-out template and a small screwdriver with you. When you find a location,
move the insulation away to get a clear view. Make sure the template fits
between the framing, and there are no obstructions in your chosen location.
When you have chosen your exact spot, place the template on the spot and
mark it at each corner by pushing the screwdriver through at each corner to
make a hole so that you can find it from below.
Repeat these steps at each location
4. From below, place the cut-out template on the ceiling at each location, making
sure that you have at least 2 inches of clearance all around it, because the grill
that will be installed later is 2 inches larger than the cut-out template. While
holding the template in place, mark its outline with a pencil. Using a drywall saw
or similar device, cut out the hole in the ceiling.
Repeat these steps at each location
5.
Place the fan in the center of the opening
6.
After placing the fan in the center of the opening make sure foam gasket rests on top
of ceiling cut-out.
7.
Extend the 2 arms on each end of the fan housing and extend to be tight against joist.
