Getting Started
Your Attic Breeze curb-mount solar attic fan is designed for easy installation with metal roofs, tile roofs, or roofs featuring
other high-profile materials where a roof curb is required for proper installation. If installing our products on a composite
shingled roof or a simliar low-profile roof type, please contact Attic Breeze for information on our self-flashing fans
designed for those roof types.
Your local building code may require specific fasteners or anchoring systems not discussed in this installation guide. If
installing this product in an area of either Florida or Texas that has been designated as a high velocity wind zone area,
review applicable building code requirements for additional installation instructions.
What's Included
Self-Tapping Screws with Rubber Bonded
Washers
Weatherproof Roofing Grade Sealant
Safety Information
Safety precautions should be taken when performing the roofing work described in this installation guide. You can
significantly reduce your risk of danger by following the below recommendations:
• Do not perform roofing work in wet or windy conditions
• Tie-off both yourself and your equipment when working on steep pitched roofs to avoid falls
• Wear safety glasses and protective gloves when using power tools
• Always wear slip-resistant shoes when working on the roof
• Do not cut through any rafters or structural members of the roof during installation
• Leave the solar panel covered until your installation is complete
Choosing the Right Location
Choose a location to install your solar attic fan that allows for balanced air flow throughout the attic space. The solar
fan should be installed roughly centered on the roof and three feet below the ridge line. For optimum performance,
choose an area on the south side of your roof that is not shaded or blocked from the sun for extended periods
throughout the day. If a location on the southern side of your roof is not available, you may raise the solar panel
mounting bracket and face the fan unit toward the south for better sun exposure. Your solar attic fan should not be
installed any closer than within 10 feet to an existing passive vent, ridge vent, or additional fan unit.
Ventilation Requirements
In order for your Attic Breeze solar attic fan to operate at maximum performance,
your attic must have enough intake ventilation (net free area) to support the
amount of air that your fan is moving. The minimum recommended amount of
intake ventilation for your product model is shown in Table 1. Your installation
should either meet or exceed these recommendations for optimum fan
performance. If you need assistance determining the proper amount of intake
ventilation for your home, please visit our website for more information.
