Broan manufactures a fine line of bathroom accessories and are especially recognized for their high quality bath fan designs. Broan fans are very durable and will last a long time with proper installation. Installing a Broan bath fan requires a few basic tools and about two to three hours of installation time. Each fan has its own unique characteristics, but the basic installation is the same.
Instructions
1. Mark on the ceiling where the fan will go. Cut a square hole in the ceiling drywall. The hole should be adjacent to an existing ceiling joist.
2. Insert the fan through the hole and secure it to the existing ceiling joist. Some models can be secured from below the unit and others will have to be secured in the attic. Check the manufacturer's installation guide to verify installation procedures and the location where you should secure the screws.
3. Locate the electrical junction box that will supply the unit with power. This is usually the electrical box in the center of the ceiling. Shut off the power to the junction box at the main power panel. Run the black, white and green wires from the fan over to the junction box.
4. Open the junction box and remove the plastic twist cap on the group of wires. Strip 1/2 an inch of insulation off the black, white and green wires of the fan. Connect the black wire of the fan to the black wire of the junction box. Place a new plastic twist cap on that group of black wires. Connect the white wire of the fan to the existing group of white wires in the junction box. Cover with a twist cap. Connect the green ground wire to the existing ground wires in the junction box. Cover each splice with a new plastic twist cap.
5. Turn the power back on and test the fan for proper operation.
