and recommendations, the national building and ventilation 
regulations must be complied with.

5.2 Placing the appliance

The  Renovent  Excellent  can  directly  be  mounted  to  the  wall 
using the suspension brackets supplied for that purpose. For a 
vibration-free result the appliance must be mounted to a solid 
wall with a minimum mass of 200 kg/m

 or on a base with at 

least the same mass on a mounting support. A gypsum block

as  double  panelling  or  extra  studs  are  required  in  that  case.

5.4 Connecting ducts

The air ducts must be mounted air-tight.

quired, but additional measures may be necessary. Please 
contact the Brink Consultancy Department if you have any 
questions on this subject.

Pay attention to crosstalk and installation noise, also for incor-
porated ducts. Design the duct with separate branches to the 
valves to prevent crosstalk. If necessary, the supply ducts must 
be insulated, for instance when they are installed outside the 
insulated  envelope.  Preferably  use  Brink  incorporated  ducts. 
These ducts have been developed with a view to a low duct 
resistance. 

5.3 Connecting the condensate discharge

The condensate discharge line for the Brink Renovent HR is fed through the lower 
panel. The condensate must be discharged through a drainpipe.

The condensate discharge comes separately with the appliance and the installer 
must screw it into the underside of the appliance. This condensate discharge con-
nection has an external connecting diameter of 32 mm. 

The  condensate  discharge  line  can  be  glued  to  it,  if  necessary  using  a  square 
bend. The installer can glue the condensate discharge in the desired position in 
the lower part of the appliance. The drain must discharge under the water level in 
the U-trap. 
Before connecting the condensate discharge to the appliance, pour water into the 
U-trap to create an air trap.
