Easy To Install
Installing Solar Attic Fans
Installation is very easy and can be done is just a few simple steps.
- Using a razor knife, cut a 4 inch slit through the shingles and tar paper at the 3 and 9 o'clock position of the flashing. This allows for the sides of the flashing to be inserted under the shingles.
- Insert a reciprocating saw blade sideways at the 3 o'clock position and cut up and around to the 9 o'clock position. This process removes the nails that will prevent the flashing from sliding up underneath the shingles.
- Caulk the underside of the flashing with the provided caulking material. Two concentric rings of caulking material is sufficient.
- Slide the flashing under the tar paper and shingles and force the flashing up until the shingles come in contact with the raised portion of the flashing. The bottom side of the flashing will be on the top of the shingles. Secure the flashing with 4 hex head screws at the 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock positions, making sure that at the 3, 9 and 12 o'clock positions, the screws are placed under the shingles. At the 6 o'clock position, caulk over the screw head since it will be exposed to the weather. Use the remaining caulk to seal the areas where the 4 inch slits were made and around the area where the shingles meet with the raised area of the flashing.
