Safety Information
1.) WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,
OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in
accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated
construction.
b) Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases
through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting.
Follow the heating equipment manufacturer's guideline and safety standards,
such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the
American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
c) When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and
other hidden utilities.
d) Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
e) If this unit is to be installed over a tub or shower, it must be marked as
appropriate for the application and be connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter) - protected branch circuit.
2.) Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have
questions, contact the manufacturer.
3.) Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the
service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally.
When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a
prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
4.) This ventilation fan is approved for use over a bathtub or shower when installed
in a GFCI protected circuit. Do not use unapproved fans over a bathtub or shower
that are not approved for that application.
5.) Install ductwork in a straight line with minimal bends.
6.) Use 120 V, 60 Hz for the electrical supply and properly ground the unit. Follow
all local safety and electrical codes.
7.) Do not use this fan with any solid-state control device; such as a dimmer switch.
Solid-state controls may cause harmonic distortion, which can cause a motor
humming noise, as well as increase risk of fire or electric shock.
8.) To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not block air entry shield.

Planning Your Installation
When installing the ventilation fan in a new construction site, install the main body
of the FAN and duct work during the rough-in construction of the building. The
SHIELD should be installed after the finished ceiling is in place.
When installing in existing construction, use the provided cutout TEMPLATE for the
ceiling. SHIELD edge should overlap finished ceiling.
Not for use in cooking area - see diagram below.
Do not install ventilation fan in areas where the duct work will require configuration
as shown.
There are multiple installation configurations possible for this ventilation fan. Not all
configurations are shown. If your installation requires a variation other than those
shown, consult with a licensed contractor to determine the best installation for your
project. If you are replacing an existing fan, ensure that the new FAN will
adequately cover the existing opening.
Connecting the Duct
Install a circular duct to outlet and secure it with duct tape or clamps.
Install the duct to the outlet with a gradient 1°~2° to the outside as shown.
The ducting from this FAN to the outside of the building has a strong effect on
the air flow, noise and energy use of the fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct
routing possible for best performance, and avoid installing the FAN with smaller
ducts than recommended. Insulation around the ducts can reduce energy loss
and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not achieve their
rated airflow.
6 in (15.24 cm) round is recommended for best performance.
Ensure duct joints and exterior penetrations are sealed with caulk or other
similar material to create an air-tight path, to minimize building heat loss and
gain, and to reduce the potential for condensation.
Place/wrap insulation around duct and/or FAN in order to minimize possible
condensation buildup within the duct, building heat loss and gain.

Removing Your Old Fan
1.) Disconnect the electrical power supply and lock out the service
panel for the existing fan.
2.) Remove the grille from the existing fan. Pull the grille down to expose it’s two
springs. Squeeze each spring together and pull down again to release the springs
from the motor plate slots.
3.) Your existing fan may be attached in several ways. Look for attachment screws
in the ceiling and remove. Your fan may also be attached on the attic side, which
will require you to access it from the attic. Locate attic attachment screws and
remove. Fan removal can be the most difficult step, please watch this video:
reventfans.com/how-to-remove-an-old-bath-fan
4.) Remove the old fan. This may require cutting and pulling. Wear gloves and
eye protection.

1.) Place the provided sheetrock cutout TEMPLATE on ceiling where you wish the
FAN to be (DAMPER and electrical positions shown on TEMPLATE). We suggest
using painters masking tape to hold the template in place while cutting. If there is a
pre-existing fan opening, use aligning windows to find it’s edges. Either cut through
the provided guide slots in the TEMPLATE, or mark your cut lines with a pencil and
remove the TEMPLATE. Use a sheetrock jab saw to cut your fan opening in the
ceiling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I clean my FAN?
A: It’s important to clean the SHIELD cover from time to time. Dust particles can
build up on the SHIELD. See PAGE 18 for care and cleaning instructions.
Q: What is CFM?
A: CFM is a measurement of air movement (cubic feet per minute). The higher the
CFM, the more air movement.
Q: What is a sone?
A: Sone is the rating used to describe the sound level. The lower the sone the
quieter the fan. A sone is not a decibel. Fans around 1 sone or less are considered
quiet while fans around 2 sones or more are considered loud.
Q: Can I install my bathroom ventilation FAN directly over a bathtub or shower?
A: Yes, but your FAN must be rated for over a shower/bath installation (all ReVent
models are) and must be on a GFCI protected circuit. Consult a qualified licensed
electrician about ground fault protected safety circuits.
Q: Do I have to vent my FAN to the outside?
A: Yes. All spot ventilation fans must be vented to the outside. Follow your local
code and consult it for advice. See PAGE 6 for national venting installation
suggestions and guidelines.
Q: Why do the windows and mirrors fog even when the FAN is running?
A: If windows and mirrors are very cold, condensation can still form on those
surfaces. If the bathroom is sealed tightly, replacement air may not be entering the
room fast enough to displace moist air. You need a gap under the bathroom
entrance door to allow air to enter the bathroom. If your home uses 3 inch diameter
ducting, upgrading the duct pipe to 4 inch diameter can greatly increase the airflow.
The vent pipe length should be 10 feet or less with minimal bends (See PAGE 6).
Ensure that the vent pipe is not blocked.
Q: My FAN is operating, but the air is moving slower than normal.
A: Check for obstructions in the ductwork. A common problem is debris blocking the
roof cap or outside wall vent. Older homes may have 3 inch diameter ducting and
changing the duct pipe to 4 inch diameter can greatly increase airflow.
Q: Why is there water dripping from my FAN?
A: Dripping water is typically condensation from a cold vent pipe. Insulating the
ductwork and FAN housing can help solve condensation problems. Running the
FAN longer will ensure moisture is completely removed from the duct. Another
possibility is rain entering the vent pipe through the roof vent opening.
Q: I have installed my FAN and it is not working, what do I do?
A: Make sure the black and white plug-in connector on the FAN is clicked into
place. Check all electrical connections like wire nuts and quick connects. Make
sure the circuit breaker is turned ON after completing all the electrical work. If you
have any concerns consult a licensed electrician.
Q: I still have additional questions.
A: Contact us at [email protected] or call our service department at
(877) 543-8698. We are happy to assist you with any additional questions.
