• Install the unit close to the outside
wall on which the supply and
exhaust hoods will be mounted.
• Have a nearby power supply 120
Volts, 60Hz. (power cord is 3
feet long)
• Mount the unit as level as
possible in order to allow proper
condensate drainage.
• Have access to a water drain for
the condensate of the unit during
defrost.
• Have a certain amount of heat
around the unit (attic installation
is not recommended).
• Installations close to the living
space, such as closets, should be
design and to minimize noise or
vibration transfers.
• Have access for future
maintenance. (10” is
recommended for removal of core)

INSTALLATION
PRACTICAL TIPS
1
Install the drain nipple.
INSTALLING DRAIN LINE -
Drainline not included in kit
Through normal operation and during its defrost mode, the HRV may produce some condensation. This water should
flow into a nearby drain, or be taken away by a condensate pump. The HRV and all condensate lines must be installed in
a space where the temperature is maintained above the freezing point. A “P” trap should be made in the drain line. This
will prevent odors from being drawn back up into the unit.
MOUNTING - EASY WALL MOUNT
LOCATION
The HRV must be located in a heated space where it will be possible to conveniently service the unit. Typically the HRV
would be located in the mechanical room or an area close to the outside wall where the weatherhoods will be mounted.
If a basement area is not convenient or does not exist, a utility room or laundry or closet may be used.
Attic installations are not normally recommended due to:
- the complexity of work to install
- freezing conditions in the attic
- difficulty of access for service and cleaning
Connecting the following appliances to the HRV
is not recommended
, including:
- clothes dryer
- range top
- stovetop fan
- central vacuum system
These appliance may cause lint, dust or grease to collect in the HRV , damaging the unit.
NOTE:
Connecting any of these type of appliances to the HRV will invalidate your warranty
