I was able to get a MaxxAir deluxe fan installed in the bedroom this weekend with some guidance from 4Gone, thank you. We went with the MaxxAir 7500K to let us intake air as well as exhaust. A couple of comments on the install.
1. 4Gone recommended running power from the cabinet above the bed.
I pushed a small wire through the styrofoam insulation, then a long piece
of 1/4" all thread. I spliced wire into light circuit in corner of cabinet.
2. The old fan had no screws. I used a 15 in 1 painter's tool to scrap the old
caulk off of the fiberglass. I scrubbed the residue with Denatured Alcohol,
Acetone, and Mineral Spirits. The Mineral Spirits seem to work the best.
As you can see from the one picture there was still a black stain on the
fiberglass, I am hoping I removed all of the silicone residue, to be
determined.
3. I put Butyl tape under the receiving flange and screwed it to the roof. I
coated the screw heads and the perimeter of flange with Dicor 501 lap
sealant and mounted fan.
4. I connected the electric, mounted the trim ring, and thermostat.
I posted some pictures for reference.
