If the PVI-DVP is being installed in a con
fi
ned space (such
as a utility closet, mechanical room or attic space) with a
total volume less than 720 cubic ft, an 8 inch by 16 inch
hole will be required directly in front of the access panel.
The con
fi
ned space where PVI is installed, and the space
to which the access hole opens, must add up to at least
720 cubic feet. This hole may be covered with a decora-
tive cover as long as the cover has a minimum of 50% open
air. This also applies to a
fi
replace chase. If the PVI-DVP
is being installed in a space greater than 720 cubic ft the
8 inch by 16 inch access hole is still required, but a solid
cover may be used.
The access panel opening must be located such that ac-
cess for service and adjustment is available. The NEC
requires a minimum of 30 inches of space around the
opening and 36 inches in front of the opening to the ac-
cess panel. Consult of
fi
cials having jurisdiction regarding
regional requirements.
