FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT DOES THE MAKE UP AIR KIT FROM FABER DO?
The Faber make up air kit helps to replenish the air, which is exhausted from the home when using your kitchen range hood. The
replenished air returning into the home is clean, healthy outside air that flows thru the open fresh air damper when a range hood
is operating above 400 cfm of air movement. The motorized fresh air damper opens when the “air switch” is activated inside the
duct switch assembly located above the range hood and then the damper closes when the range hood motor is turned off. Your
Faber range hood will operate effectively since there is an adequate supply of fresh air to draw from.
DOES MY FURNACE OR WATER HEATER GET COMBUSTION AIR FROM THIS SYSTEM?
No this system only helps to make up air that is exhausted by the range hood.
HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED MAKE UP AIR?
Today’s newly constructed homes have very tight insulation, which prevent normal passive airflow from coming back into the
home. A Make up air kit system is recommended for most new home constructions or when over higher cfm range hoods are
installed in any home. Otherwise a make up air system may be required by local building codes.
DOES THIS MAKE UP AIR KIT MEET REQUIREMENTS POSED BY 2009 IRC (International Residential Code) and ICC (International
Code Council) M1503.4 ?
Yes.
M1503.4 states, “Exhaust hood systems capable of exhausting in excess of 400 cubic feet per minute shall be provided with
makeup air at a rate approximately equal to the exhaust air rate. Such make up air systems shall be equipped with a means of
closure and shall be automatically controlled to start and operate simultaneously with the exhaust system.”
This system introduces makeup air into the home when the kitchen exhaust is operating above 400 cubic feet per minute of air
movement with an air switch which communicates with an external automatic damper to open when operating above 400 cfm
and close when the range hood is turned off.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A POWER OUTAGE?
The make up air kit will return to its normal operation once power is restored, no repairs or alterations will need to be made.
