INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR

INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

A.   Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) 

in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated 

construction.

B.   Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases 

through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back 

drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and 

safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection 

Association (NFPA),  

and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning 

Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

FOR BEST RESULTS

 When installing the Exhaust Fan/Light in a new construction site, install 

housing during the rough-in construction of the building. The blower unit, 

reflector and grille should be installed after the finished ceiling is in place.

Refer to instructions on page 3 to install the Exhaust Fan/Light in an exist-

ing finished building.

PLANNING DUCTWORK AND WIRING

1.   Use 4” round duct.

2.   Plan duct run from discharge opening of fan to the outside. For best fan 

performance, make duct run as short as possible and use minimum num-

ber of elbows.

3.   Use optional NuTone ducting accessories as needed.

MODEL: 8663RFT

Suitable for use in shower or tub enclosure when used

with GFI protected branch circuit.

  Plan to run 120vAC house wiring (with ground) from power source, through 

wall switches, to junction box in fan. For separate control of fan and light, two 

wall switches are required. See NuTone Catalog for accessory switches.
