STEP BY STEP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS


Step1. Place the metal sleeve (without the grille attached) against the wall with the flanged edge facing you. Trace the pipe on the outside with a pencil to mark the cutout. (Refer to picture 1)
Step 2. Cut out the circular opening with a small drywall saw. Cut inside the pencil line. Take care not to damage the edge of the drywall since you will be installing drywall anchors close to the hole to mount the grille. (Refer to picture 2)
Step 3. Project the edge of the cutout onto the inside of the other wall board in three places, approximately 120° apart. Use a small square or a piece of cardboard that has an exact 90° angle to mark the cutout points on the inside of the other wall. The two circular openings must be accurately aligned. (Refer to picture 3)
Step 4. Use a small sharp pin or very small drill bit (1/32“ or smaller) to punch or drill these three marks to the outside of the other wall. (Refer to picture 4)
Step 5. Place the other sleeve, with grille attached, against the outside of the wall and center its location using the three markers that you have made, then trace the outside of the sleeve with a pencil. Cut the circular opening with a small drywall saw. Cut inside the pencil line. Take care not to damage the edge of the drywall. You will be installing drywall anchors close to the hole to mount the grille. (Refer to picture 5)
Step 6. Insert the metal sleeve with grille into the cutout opening (fan output side) and snug the flange up against the wall material, making sure that power cord is hanging straight down.
Step 7. Insert the other metal sleeve into the cutout opening (fan suction side) and snug the flange up against the wall material.
Step 8. Position the unattached plastic grille over the metal sleeve that was just inserted so that the Suncourt logo is at the bottom and that one of the mounting holes is in the top center. Mark the location of all 3 wall anchors. Make sure that the grille ribs are nicely square with the floor.
Step 9. Mark the position for the wall anchors on the grille.
Step 10. Remove metal sleeve with grille attached and drill the holes on both sides of the wall for the anchors with a sharp 3/16“ drill bit. Install wall anchors and after re-inserting metal sleeve with grille attached, screw the grilles down snugly. (Refer to picture 6) DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
