Every homeowner knows the importance of proper ventilation throughout the home, especially in areas prone to moisture. Kitchen, basements, and bathrooms tend to hold onto moisture, and without adequate ventilation, they can become ideal places for mold and mildew growth. That’s not ideal for your home or the health of your family. Bathrooms in particular are prone to this problem. If your bathroom needs better ventilation, installing a new vent is the best solution. However, installing a new vent isn’t an easy task. That is, unless you use a Kozy Kollar product.
Install a new bathroom vent the safe and easy way with Kozy Kollar! Follow these steps to improve your bathroom ventilation.
Step One
First, select a spot to install the vent from the inside. Next, square the included template between the roof rafters and mark where you are going to cut. Using a reciprocating saw or similar tool, cut out the marked template. The downward pull of the saw blade will cleanly cut through the shingles, but be careful not to cut outside the lines.
Step Two
Install four of the six threaded studs, and apply a thin bead of the sealant supplied with the Kozy Kollar or EV-4 into the caulking channel of the primary seal. Pass the Kozy Kollar or EV-4 through the opening and position it on the shingles. The four corner studs will hold the Kollar or EV-4 in place.
Step Three
Install the remaining studs, the lower mounting plates, and rod couplings. The Kozy Kollar and EV-4 require compression to work. Starting with the top studs, tighten the rod couplings to approximately 3 ft. lbs. If a torque wrench is not available, tighten them until the lower mounting plates begin to distort.
