Congratulations on the purchase of your new QuietCool Specialty Series Fan!

The QuietCool Specialty Series was designed for almost every application imaginable. QuietCool Specialty

Series fans dominate the market in energy efficiency. Our Specialty Series fans work great in practically all

climate zones and most homes, mobile homes, and even warehouse buildings!

QuietCool Attic Fans: The QuietCool Attic Fans help cool your attic, and keep your home from heating up

as quickly on very hot days. We offer two great models: the AFG ES-1500, the most energy efficient attic fan,

and the AFG CON-3.0, the most powerful residential attic fan. Both fans have stellar energy efficiency and

astounding airflow.

2. INSTALLATION

2.1 Installing AFG Model Fans

NOTE: The AFG model fans are designed to mount behind existing gable vent louvers. If no

louver exists, one must be installed. Louver should be installed in the upper center section

of the gable. For maximum efficiency, the area of the louver should be greater than the size

of the ventilator. Any louver area not covered by the ventilator should be sealed off to

prevent any possible air leakage.

Installing the QuietCool AFG is very easy. The mounting tabs on the AFG should be attached to the Attic

Gable Fan. Use the mounting hardware included in the box to fasten the gable fan to the boards that frame

the gable vents. To install the AFG, simply mount the gable fan to your gable vents as shown in the following

steps:

1. Flush Mount: The AFG can be mounted flush to a rectangular type

louver by fastening through the mounting brackets to the frame of

the louver (as shown in Figure 2.1A).

As stated in the note above, any area of the louver that is not covered

by the AFG should be sealed off to prevent air leakage.

This is the most conventional method of mounting the AFG.

We recommend using the Flush Mount option if possible for all

applications.

2. Wide Mount: The AFG can be mounted on a wide louver, but

additional mounting steps must be taken in order for the fan to

work properly. As shown in Figure 2.1B, two additional boards must

be fastened to the boards framing the gable vent so the AFG can be

mounted securely.

As stated in the note above, any area of the louver that is not

covered by the AFG should be sealed off to prevent air leakage.

Figure 2.1A

Figure 2.1B

4QUIETCOOLSYSTEMS.COM

3. Odd Mount: The AFG can also be mounted off center for an

odd shaped louver (as shown in Figure 2.1C).

As stated in the note above, any area of the louver that is

not covered by the AFG should be sealed off to prevent air

leakage.

While this is not the most ideal way to mount the gable fan, it

is possible. However, since the fan is not completely covering

the vent, maximum airflow will not be achieved.

NOTE: The AFG can be mounted on many other types of louvers, including triangle

vents, round vents, half-round vents, etc. If the vent is smaller than the area of the

fan, we recommend constructing a chamber that surrounds the vent, and then mount

the AFG to the chamber to ensure maximum airflow and performance.

2.2 Installing GA Model Fans

VERY IMPORTANT: MINIMUM OF 26” CLEARANCE REQUIRED ABOVE CEILING FOR

INSTALLATION OF GA MODEL FANS.

1. Determine which ceiling area you would like to install your QuietCool Garage Attic Fan. Now it’s time to

find the exact location using a stud finder. Locate the ceiling studs and mark the location for the fan

to be installed (see Figure 2.2A). One side of the cut out should be directly next to a wood member

for proper fan mounting and support.

2. When you find the location, mark a 14 1/4” square using a framing square or template. Make sure you

have 2” of clearance all the way around it. The grille that will be installed later is a 16” square (see

Figure 2.2B).

3. Starting at one corner of the square using a drywall saw, cut out the opening. Remove the drywall

cutout and clear away insulation (if applicable) (see Figure 2.2C).

4. Take the GA fan model into the attic and place it over the ceiling cut out. Attach the fan using screws

into the ceiling joists (see Figure 2.2D). Install the ceiling grille.

VERY IMPORTANT: CHECK TO MAKE SURE FAN BLADE SPINS FREELY AND THE FIRE DAMPER

CLOSES EASILY. MAKE SURE TO SECURE THE LATCH IN THE OPEN POSITION.

AVOID BACKDRAFTS: MAKE SURE THE GARAGE FAN HAS ENOUGH CONTINUOUS INLET

VENTING (AS SHOWN IN SECTION 1.4) TO AVOID BACKDRAFTING COMBUSTION APPLIANCES

IN THE GARAGE.

Figure 2.1C

1-888-QUIETCOOL

2.3 Installing GX Model Fans

1. Determine which area you would like to install your QuietCool Garage Exterior Mount Fan. Now it’s time

to find the exact location using a stud finder. Locate the wall studs and mark the location for the fan

to be installed on the wall (similar to Figure 2.2A). One side of the cut out should be directly next to

a wood member for proper fan mounting and support.

2. When you find the location, mark a 14 1/4” square using a framing square or template. Make sure you

have 2” of clearance all the way around it. The grille that will be installed later is a 16” square (similar

to Figure 2.2B).

3. Starting at one corner of the square using a drywall saw, cut out the opening. Remove the drywall

cutout and clear away insulation (if applicable) (similar to Figure 2.2C).

4. From the interior, drill a hole through the exterior at the four corners of the cut out (see Figure

2.3A).

5. Go to the exterior and place the square wall mounting bracket aligned to the 4 drilled holes. Using a

level, mark the inside of the bracket with a pencil (see Figure 2.3B).

6. Using a saw or angle grinder, cut out the marked area of stucco or siding (see Figure 2.3C).

7. Remove cut out of exterior stucco or siding. Then cut out any applicable sheathing.

8. Now install the exterior cover frame. Make sure the frame is level and then attach the four corners

with long enough screws to penetrate the wood studs. Note: Predrilling may be required (see Figure

2.3D).

Figure 2.2A Figure 2.2B Figure 2.2C Figure 2.2D

Figure 2.3A Figure 2.3B Figure 2.3C Figure 2.3D

6QUIETCOOLSYSTEMS.COM

9. Place fan into the cut out area. Fasten the fan in each 4 corners to the vertical wood studs (see

Figure 2.3E).

10. Caulk exterior around frame (see Figure 2.3F).

11. Attach the exterior cover to mounting frame using 4 sheet metal screws (see Figure 2.3G).

12. Mount inside wall grille (see Figure 2.3H).

2.4 Installing RM Model Fans

1. Determine which roof area you would like to install your QuietCool Roof Mount Fan. (see Figure 2.4D)

IMPORTANT: If you are installing the RM fan as a ducted whole house fan, move on to step 2a. If

you are installing the RM fan as a whole house fan without a duct, move on to step 2b. If you are

installing the RM fan as an attic fan, for homes with an attic space, move on to step 3.

2a. When installing your RM fan as a ducted whole house fan, find the exact ceiling location for your

ceiling box using a stud finder. Be sure that the ceiling box will fit between the ceiling box location

and fan location with a minimum of 20” clearance. Now, using a drywall saw, cut out the drywall (using

the rough opening measurements shown in Figure 2.4A).

2b. When installing your RM fan as a whole house fan without a duct, find the exact ceiling location for

your ceiling damper grille using a stud finder. Now, using a drywall saw, cut out the drywall (using the

rough opening measurements shown in Figure 2.4A). Install your ceiling damper grille.

3. Mark the location for the roof mount fan. (using the rough opening measurements shown in

Figure 2.4A)

4. Move to the roof and, using a circular saw, cut out the square. (see Figure 2.4B)

5. With the square cut out, place the roof mount fan over the cutout. (see Figure 2.4C)

6. Fasten the fan to the roof using appropriate connectors for your roof material.

7. Fasten and flash in fan curb using appropriate weatherproofing and materials based on roof material.

8. If installing the RM fan as a ducted whole house fan, install the duct to the fan. Place the ceiling

box in the cutout and attach the duct. Install the ceiling box by fastening it to the ceiling joists.

(similar to Figure 2.2D). Install the ceiling grille. (similar to Figure 2.3H)

3. WIRING

NOTE: Wiring Diagrams are for examples ONLY. Wiring should be done by an experienced

electrician.

3.1. Specialty Fan Wiring - Thermostat (see Figure 3.1A)

For wiring of a Specialty Series Fan with a thermostat. This wiring method works with all of our Specialty

Series fans, but we do NOT recommend using it with a Roof Mount fan that is being used as a whole house

fan. All fans wired on a thermostat must have enough continuous inlet venting (as stated in section 1.4).

1. For this installation, you will need a 2 wire Romex, and a thermostat.

2. Open up the junction box that is connected to the fan. Bring your 2 wire romex from the power source

into the junction box.

3. With a wire nut, tie the white common wires together. Using the green ground screw, ground the green

wire from the fan to the handy box.

NOTE: If you are NOT installing the thermostat in the junction box on the fan, continue to

step 7 to wire the thermostat.

4. With the thermostat, tie the black wire from the fan to the red wire on the thermostat.

5. Tie the two remaining black wires together.

6. Using the ground screw on the thermostat, ground your power source. Mount thermostat to junction

box.

Wiring the Thermostat Remotely (see Figure 3.1B)

7. Mount an electrical box for your thermostat in the best location for thermostat readings. Begin wiring

the thermostat.

8. With a 2 wire Romex, tie the black wire to the black wire from the thermostat.

9. Tape the white common wire on both sides of the 2 wire Romex because we will be using this as our

switch leg.

10. Tie the red wire and the taped white wire together.
