Up-Dux® Ceiling-to-Attic Exhaust Vent - Installation Instructions (Extended Height Top-R™ Model)

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS IN THEIR ENTIRETY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.

 Select installation location for Up-Dux®

vent. For best air circulation, vent should

be placed diagonally away from incoming

air register(s) and 18" to 24" away from

outer house wall (depending on the pitch of

the roof).



Drill a small hole within the selected

location, a few inches from the nearest

ceiling joist.



Use a probe (such as the straightened

end of a wire coat hanger) to make sure

that vent installation will avoid any

obstructions within the 20" minimum attic

clearance limit.

 Cut from the probe hole to the edge of –

but NOT into – the ceiling joist.

 Using the ceiling joist as a guide, make a

smooth 11-5/8" baseline cut along its

length. This baseline cut will be one side of

the vent opening. From each end of the

baseline cut, measure a distance of 11-5/8"

out and away from the ceiling joist.

 Using these measurements, scribe and

cut the remaining three sides of the square

11-5/8" x 11-5/8" vent opening.

 Locate the four "L" shaped mounting

clips that were included with the vent. Note

that these mounting clips have pre-drilled

holes that correspond to pre-drilled holes

on the front and back (hinge-end) panels of

the vent.

 Position and form each "L" shaped

mounting clip as follows: (a) place the edge

of the mounting clip exactly ½" away from

the corner of the ceiling opening and (b)

with the bottom of the "L" shaped clip held

firmly against the bottom of the ceiling

panel, press the top-edge of the mounting

clip forward and downward, bending the

clip around, and securing it to, the ceiling

panel.

Being careful not to damage the aluminum

lid, slide the vent into the ceiling opening –

with the hinged end toward the outside

house wall.

 Carefully align the pre-drilled holes on the

mounting clips with corresponding holes on

the vent's front and back (hinge-end)

panels.

 Insert the ¼" mounting clip screws to

secure the vent to the ceiling panel.

Use ½" grille mounting screws and pre-

drilled holes to mount the ceiling grille into

position on the vent.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT over-tighten the

mounting screws. Warping of the ceiling

grille frame caused by over-tightened

mounting screws may not be claimed

under warranty.
