I got my Fantastic fan today, and started reading the instrucrions..(Yes real men do read instructions...).

How many people use the supplied gasket and silicone to install it?
Or do you use the ....Uh, forgot what it's called..."Gucky Gray Sealing Tape" that RV stores sell?

Ditto to Danny.

What does the gasket look like ? Was there supposed to be one with it?

Mine looked like a piece of foam packing with precut slits and punch outs for the screw holes. Did you throw the box away? It might still be in it.

Used putty tape, the gray gucky stuff.

It's a 3sp, reversable, smoked hood. Sorry for the lousy pic...cheap cam.The gasket is on top.

That white foam that's is shaped like a picture frame is the gasket. Danny

...we located the FF in place and predrilled the screw holes...then removed the FF and used a heavy bead of EBS(EvilBlackStuff aka auto windshield sealant) including a dab for each of the screw holes............

So,
How many builders just ran out to their shop to check the box that the fan came in???
I did, 'cause I didn't think I got a gasket either...

You call that piece of packing foam a gasket???

I'll skip on the gasket, besides my profile has too much curve to use it...
I guess you could call it closed cell, well except for where I pinched it with my fingers and popped severeal cells....

I'll try to come up with some EWS...

I used what was provided for gaskets, but used white polyurethene caulk under it on the outside and in all of the screw holes when I put them in.

I used my foam gasket "as is" for about 6 months then, no leaks. Then I pulled it off and used the ..."Gucky Gray Sealing Tape" that RV stores sell! A few years latter, still no leaks!!!
