WET LOCATION fans and light fixtures are designed for locations that are susceptible to direct exposure to the elements. They have been subjected to a water spray test by UL (Underwriter's Laboratories). During the test, fans are subjected to water spray in the direction most likely to cause water to enter.
When
installing a Wet Location fan, the outlet box must be
recessed and mounted to the 6" side of a 4"
x 6" wooden beam. The outlet box must be sealed
so that no water enters it, and the canopy cannot overhang
the beam on either side. |
