INSTALLING DUCTS TO / FROM INSIDE (CON’T)
PRACTICAL
TIPS
2 Working from a closet, attic or inside your joist wall, run the length of
ducting required for the proper grille location and cut a hole in the
gyprock. Fasten the mounting collar (optional) to the ducting and
fasten the collar to the wall or ceiling with screws.
3 The Fantech grille {MGE (metal) or PGE (plastic)} airflow can be
adjusted by rotating the inside unit. It is recommended that the grilles
be completely opened at first and then adjusted later as needed.

1 Begin with the duct collar marked “Exhaust Air In”. Slide a short piece
(12”) of flexible duct over the duct collar. Using duct tape, tape the
flexible duct to the collar. Run the flexible ducting to the main rigid
duct trunk line, which connects to the remainder of the ducts going to
and from rooms in the house.. Repeat the steps for the “Supply Air
Out” on the side of the AEV.
Exhaust Air ducting
The stale air exhaust system is used to draw air from the points in the house where the worst air quality problems occur. It is
recommended that return air ducts be installed in the bathroom, kitchen, and laundry room. Additional return air ducts from
strategic locations (i.e. greenhouse, atrium, swimming pool, sauna, etc.) may be installed. The furnace return duct may be also
used to exhaust from. In this method, the exhaust air is not ducted back from bathrooms, kitchens, etc to the AEV with “dedi-
cated lines”.
This method has become popular and provides good ventilation when installed in accordance with the instructions. The furnace
blower must be running when the AEV is operating for this method to be effective.
