10 Easy Steps
Step1
Choose a location for your Remington Solar Attic Fan on the south of the roof, considering
potential problems like tree, chimney etc. They may shade the solar panel during certain times of
the day, reducing run time.
If a southern exposure is not possible, the fan can be installed on any other exposure and the solar
panel can be adjusted to capture maximum sunlight.
Note: The Solar Attic Fan must be installed between roof rafters. However, if you want to retrofit
an existing turbine (Whirlybird) or electric fan, you may do so. Just enlarge the hole if necessary,
being careful not to cut through a rafter. However, the Remington Solar attic fan may sit atop a
rafter if necessary without impeding too much air flow.
Step 2
Using either a string or template, create a 14 1/2 inch diameter circle onto the roof shingles.
Roof rafters are generally 16" or 24" on center. On 16" on center construction,
Note:
the installer can either cut a 14" hole between the rafters or cut a 19" hole with the
roof rafter running through the cut hole.
Step 3
The Solar Attic Fan must be installed between roof rafters. Do not cut through any framing
member. With a reciprocating saw, cut the diameter of the hole.
Step 4
With razor knife, cut a 4 inch through the shingles and tar paper. On opposite sides of the flashing,
This provides the footprint for the flashing to be inserted under the shingles.
Step 5
Remove any roofing nails in the area where the base will be slid under the shingles.
Step 6
Lay a bead of Silicone Sealant around the base of the flashing.
Step 7
Slide the flashing underneath the tar paper and shingles. Adjust the flashing up until the shingles
come into contact with the raised portion of the flashing. The bottom side of the flashing will be
on top of the shingles.
