Completing the Installation
1. Use a sealant appropriate for contact with the building materials present and for the
temperature requirements of the installation to prevent air leakage from unconditioned
spaces is recommended. If gaps between unit housing and ceiling are great, additional
material (backing rod, ceiling material) may be required.
NOTE: This fan is rated for direct insulation contact (Type IC) and it is recommended that this fan
be completely covered by insulation in order to reduce heat loss or gain to unconditioned space.
