Installation Instructions
Precautionary Notes
Safety Tips
• Complete all roof preparation prior to bringing the solar fan onto the roof.
• Keep the solar panel covered until after installation. Exposing the solar panel to the
sun will start the fan blades rotating which could cause bodily injury.
Roof Deck
• Maximum 6" width
• Minimum
• Sheathing spaced minimum
• Check local building codes or use decking recommended by American Plywood
Association
Ventilation Requirements
• Ventilation must meet or exceed Federal Housing Administration minimum
property standard.
• Before beginning the installation, calculate the square feet of attic space being
ventilated and select the recommended number of VentSure Solar Attic Exhaust
Fans necessary for moving the required CFM (cubic feet per minute). Depending
on the size of attic space to be ventilated, more than 1 solar fan may be required.
See Fan Sizing Chart below.
• It is critical to ensure there is proper intake ventilation at the
eave or fascia. For each Roof Mount fan, Owens Corning
requires 600 sq. in. of intake.
Note: If it isn't practical to achieve the required amount of intake
ventilation, Owens Corning recommends adequately sealing the attic
l oor and any HVAC ducts in the attic to prevent pulling air from
conditioned space.
• Some attics have more than one walled off or chambered area.
This situation will require fans for each area.
• To maximize the solar fan's effectiveness you should remove or
block any rooftop static vents, gable end vents, or ridge vents.
This can be accomplished using any rooi ng underlayment,
ensuring it is securely attached. (Figures 2 and 3)
Positioning
• The solar fan should be positioned to face south or southwest
for optimum performance and should be positioned on an
area of the roof that is not shaded or blocked from the sun for
extended periods throughout the day.
Attic-mounted
• The solar fan should be installed 18-24" from the ridge of the
Controller
roof and as close to mid-point of the house as possible. (Figure 4)
Module
• In the event 2 or more fans are being installed, separate the
4 - Mounting
Screws
fans by at least 15 feet to optimize ventilation.
