Owens Corning VentSure Instrucciones De Instalación

This fan can be used for installations
where roof mounting is impractical or
not preferred. The fan can be installed in
a gable, crawlspace, or under an existing
off-ridge vent to provide increased
performance for off-ridge vents. While
the fan is installed inside the attic, the
solar panel will be remotely mounted on
the exterior of the home to capture and
utilize energy from the sun.
Before installing this product, check
local building codes for their roofi ng
requirements.
The manufacturer will not be responsible
for problems resulting from any deviation
from the recommended application
instructions.

Installation Instructions
TOOLS REQUIRED
• Power drill with phillips head
driver and an
• Adjustable wrench
• Measuring tape
• Tin snips or wire cutters (for cutting
hole in vent screen)
• Circular saw or handsaw (for cutting
2x4s for bracing if req.)
• Pencil or marking pen
• ¼ " coaxial staples (for securing the
wire after installation)
• Caulk gun with roofi ng sealant. We
recommend ASTM D 4586 Type 1
Asphalt Roofi ng Cement.
Precautionary Notes
Positioning
• The solar panel should be positioned to
face south or southwest for optimum
performance and should be positioned
where it is not shaded or blocked
from the sun for extended periods
throughout the day.
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.

Optional Hardware (not included)
For fan mounting options:
• 3" galvanized deck screws (for mounting
2x4 braces to framing members if req.)
For panel mounting on rooftop:
• 2" pan head tapping screws (for mounting
to composition roof)
• Caulk gun with roofi ng adhesive (for
mounting solar panel directly to Spanish
tile, fl at tile or metal roofs)
For panel mounting on exterior wall:
• 1.5"–3" anchor screws (depending on
your specifi c type of stucco, cement or
brick wall. Must support up to 20 lb.)
• 1.5"–3" galvanized screws (depending on
your specifi c type of wood or vinyl siding.
Must support up to 20 lb.)
• Caulk gun with roofi ng sealant (for
sealing screw heads when mounting to
wood or vinyl siding)
• It is critical to ensure there is proper
intake ventilation at the eave or fascia. For
each Gable Mount fan, Owens Corning
requires 890 square inches of intake.
This is based on a ratio of 1 square
foot of intake ventilation for every
150 square feet of attic space being
ventilated.
Note: If it isn't practical to achieve the
required amount of intake ventilation,
Owens Corning recommends adequately
sealing the attic fl 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 or ridge vents. This
can be accomplished using any roofi ng
underlayment, ensuring it is securely
attached.
