NOTCH BRACING
It is recommended and local codes may dictate that the joist be reinforced as outlined below. Bracing of the rim joist is not
necessary.
1. Cut two 2 x 4 pieces of wood 28 inches in length.
2. Center both pieces on each side of the floor joist above the notch and drive 8 16D or larger nails into each piece, (See Diag. H)
CONNECTING THE PLENUM TO THE VENT HOOD
NOTES: Cut any nails which are protruding downward from the subfloor that may come in contact with the SS1-R. Place both slip
joint drivers in your pocket before continuing.
Minimum clearances from the Plenum to any combustible materials must be maintained as listed on page 3. Failure to do so can
cause a fire or explosion resulting in property damage, personal injury or death.
Note: Blower - Motor/Wheel assembly can be removed to make Plenum section easier & lighter to install. Refer to Removal
and Replacement of Motor/Wheel Assembly, Page 18.
1. Connect the Plenum to the Vent Hood by aligning both grooves on the bottom of Plenum with both grooves on the bottom of the
Vent Hood. The Plenum is designed to slide into the Vent Hood, (See Diagram I).
2. Gently slide the Plenum into the Vent Hood until the slip joint guides located on each side of the Plenum are in contact with
each other.
3. Slide the slip joint drivers from the bottom upward over the the slip joint guides as far as possible by hand. A hammer may be
used to tap the slip joint drivers to their final position. Start the slip joint drivers on the slip joint guides with the embossed end
facing down. Do not force slip joints past embossing.
INSTALLATION OF WALL SUPPORT BRACKET
1. To prevent damage to the SS1-R, temporarily support the bottom of the plenum (prop on ladder) while assembling the wall
support bracket. Assemble the wall support bracket as shown, (See Diagram J, Page 9).
2. Using the prepunched holes, adjust the wall support bracket so that a slight pitch is maintained for water drainage, (See
Diagram J, Page 9).
3. Use the prepunched holes on the wall bracket as a template to mark holes to be drilled into the side wall for mounting screws.
4. a) If installing the bracket into a wood wall, drill 2 pilot holes at each point established in step 3 with a 1/8" drill bit
approximately 1" deep and install the screws provided to secure the bracket to the wall.
b) If installing the bracket into a masonry wall, drill 2 holes at each point established in step 3 with a 1/4" masonry drill bit
approximately 1" deep. Tap the masonry anchors into the holes drilled in step 4. Screw the wall bracket onto the wall.
