 INSTALL THE DRAIN(S)

  An external or an internal drain must be attached  

to the primary drain connector. A secondary drain  

is supplied if required by state and local codes. Refer  

to the local codes for proper installation of the drains. 

If the secondary drain is not used, seal its drain port 

with a 3/4” MNPT plug.

 

External Drain

  Attach a 90° PVC elbow to the unit’s female 3/4

 NPT 

drain connector. Use the other end of the elbow to run  
a 3/4

 Sch. 40 PVC pipe through the knockout holes of 

both the wall plenum and the architectural louver to the 

outside. Seal the gap between the plenum hole and PVC 

tube. See the Installation Instructions in the RAVAL1. 

Internal Drain

  Attach PVC to the unit’s female 3/4

 NPT drain 

connector. See the Installation Instructions  

in the RAVAL1. Local codes may apply.

 DUCTWORK

  Prepare the closet ductwork for later connection  

to the case.

  The total flow rate (CFM) and external static pressure 

(ESP) available can be estimated from the chart below. 

Use these charts to select your fan speed setting. The 
collar on top of the case accepts standard 10

 duct.

  Pull all duct tight. Extra duct slack can greatly increase 

static pressure.

 

NOTICE: 

Flex duct can collapse and cause 

airflow restrictions. Do not use flex duct for 90° bends 

or unsupported runs of 5 ft. or more.

Installation Instructions

 

Your airflow should be balanced based on many 

factors, such as available ESP, room CFM, and ductwork. 

Consult an HVAC engineer for proper applications. 

External static pressure (ESP) can be measured with a 

manometer or pitot tube. Once this ESP is established, 

you can calculate the CFM using the above chart.

  CFM Recommendations

  9,000 BTU 

12,000 BTU 

18,000 BTU

• 

 

 

  • = Recommended Mid Range

Higher CFMs tend to increase Sensible capacity, 

enhance room circulation and increase duct noise,  

while lower CFMs tend to increase Latent capacity  

and reduce noise.
