Fresh air distribution ductwork
When performing duct connections, always use approved tools and materials. Respect all corresponding
laws and safety regulations. Please refer to your local building code.
WARNING
!
• Locate the opening for fresh air ductwork on the forced air unit return duct
at a minimum linear distance of 9’ 10” (3 m) upstream (from forced air unit drop:
A+B+C
). Cut out a 5” Ø hole in this location, using metal shear.
•
Use a metal transition (not included, available in hardware store) to connect the
unit duct to the forced air unit return duct.
• Attach the other end of the flexible duct to the fresh air to building port (see
icon on the left side of the unit). Use tie wrap and duct tape to seal the connection.
See illustration at right.

PORTS
Both flexible ducts attached to the diffusers must be connected to the bottom ports of
the unit. When facing the unit door, the fresh air to building port is located on left side
and the exhaust air from building port is on the right side. Refer to the identification
labels affixed beside each unit ports. Using tie wrap, attach the fresh air to building
duct to its corresponding port, then do the same for the exhaust air to building duct
and port. See illustration at right.
NOTE: Use an insulated duct (not included) if the duct will have to go through a
space where it is possible to experience extreme temperature conditions
(eg: in northern area, not unheated attic in winter or uncooled attic in southern
area). Also, if you plan to stop the unit for more than 12 hours, we recommend
to cover the duct with R12 insulation.

least 3’ (0.9 m) from fresh air ductwork connection. Cut out a 5” Ø hole in this
location, using metal shear.
•
Use a metal transition (not included, available in hardware store) to connect the
unit duct to the forced air unit return duct.
•
Attach the other end of the flexible duct to the exhaust air from building port (see
