The dehumidifier is supplied with two 8” round collars. An integral backflow damper is installed in the outlet collar. In a ducted installation, the
dehumidifier pulls air from the living space or HVAC return duct and supplies the dehumidified air to the HVAC supply duct (See
Figures 5, 6 & 7
).
DUCTED INSTALLATION
• Move supply collar to the desired location, if necessary. (See
Supply Collar
in
SET-UP
Section)
• The unit can be ducted to the supply or both the return and supply. The dehumidifier inlet ducting must be a minimum of 6” upstream of the
HVAC system air cleaner and the outlet must be ducted a minimum of 6” downstream of the cooling coil.
• Use the least amount of ductwork possible. To ensure best performance, do not exceed a total of 50 feet of duct installed in accordance with
SMACNA Standards. UL approved, 8” diameter, insulated duct is recommended for all connections.
• All joints and seams must be sealed.
