1. SYSTEM OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION WELCOME 1.1 CONGRATULATIONS on the purchase of your new QuietCool Smart Attic Fan! INSTALLATION QuietCool Attic Fans are the best in the business.
1.3 SYSTEM VENTING REQUIREMENTS ! VERY IMPORTANT: 1 SQUARE FOOT OF NET FREE VENT AREA PER 750 CFM ! RECOMMENDED: 2 TO 4 SQUARE FEET OF INLET VENTS PER FAN Venting plays a very significant role in the performace of QuietCool fans. QuietCool recommends a minimum of 1 SQ. FT. of venting for every 750 CFM in the QuietCool system. If an attic has at least 1:750 attic venting, the QuietCool system will operate efficiently and effectively.
