How does it mount over the existing crank up roof vent?

It screws into the side of the roof vent, the person who installed them did not use the screws that came with the kit, he used self locking screws. Quick and easy job.

There are 4 L-shaped brackets that bolt to the raised part of the vent. Then you bolt the vent to the extended part of the bracket. Very easy. I have installed 2, myself and they are still securely on there.

You must draw an outline of the vent cover on your roof with a pencil and then drill four small holes in the frame of the vent to mount. This should take about a half hour if you are good with common tools.

there was no problem only that vent had to be wound down just a little bit to mount other wise all is good

There are metal tabs that screw into the metal vertical lip of the vent. These tabs extend out and flush to the roof surface where the Maxxair will attach via nut/bolt combos.

You can buy just the head and attach to the old crank up you have or you can buy the head and mount and it locates in the same location and there is no up and down. I have already broke one off with a tree limb and if I loose another one I am going back to the old one.

it depends on the pitch of the roof. though you should be able to place the hook on the side of the vent if it does not clear. the hook itself has approx a 5" raduis, so that give you about ten inches of clearance.

The vent is that black unit atop. It vents side to side and the black sheet metal is held via clips. I think it'd be a lot of work to adapt it. Directions say not to use inside as it outputs carbon monoxide. Easier to put up a vertical wall and place a piece of sheet metal where the vent is

It is setup to to mount an optional crank. Mine does not have it installed. However, it did come with the String/handle device. Hope this helps. Sorry for the late response.

Hi Carol, The vent cover has a small piece of pipe 6 inches in dia that gives you space to attach whatever lenght of tubing you are running Good Luck Ralph

You should have recieved all the hardware with your order as well as the instructions. All the holes are pre-drilles along the gutters of the roof. You will need to peel off the two rubber strips that run the length of your roof. With your finger you'll feel 3 pre drilled holes that have a thin piece of tape over them. I used a razor blade to remove the tape and once removed you'll see the holes. Basically just screw down the rack with the bolts and washers that should have been with the order. Pretty easy install that took me about an hour and a half.

If you are talking about the hood vent-it is set up so it can do either. there is an additional piece that fits in for outside venting. Hope this helps!

Here is a link to the one I used. I didn't mount it on the roof, but it says you can:Lifetime 9594 Universal Mounting KitScott

It just fits over the end of the stock, then the cords come out and attach to the string and you crank it up. Works well.

Yes it uses a 6 " round vent. You need standard metal venting from a hardware/home store to connect it to your existing exhaust duct. Just attach with a couple of metal screws and seal with foil tape.

It was installed in our garage and vented through the garage wall with a PVC pipe to the outside side yard and not the roof. I hope this helps you out!

There was no roof vent installed it was side wall vented out of a block foundation basment wall. If you have to roof vent it you can do so in schedule 40 PVC with a typical roof vent.

it fits over the existing Fantastic Fan. You unscrew 4 of the screws and screw down the included plates. These plates have posts that allow you to slide cotter pins through them. the vent cover can be removed without tools at any time.

You will need the extra extensions. You also might want to consider going from both ends of the vent.

This one is vented to the outdoors. Mine is attached to a roof vent. Hope this helps.

Can't remember how I mounted it but it wasn't complicated. The thing is still up and I mounted on an RV!! Good luck.
