Nuaire would always recommend a site specific risk assessment by a 
competent person to determine if any additional PPE is required. 

2.0 INTRODUCTION

The ECO(3/5) wall mounted range of units is designed to provide 
mechanical supply and extract ventilation with heat recovery. 

The unit is fitted with two independent fans. Each fan has full speed 
control for background and boost ventilation rates. To recover heat 
from the extract air the heat exchanger block is utilised. The heat 
exchanger can recover up to 95% of the normally wasted heat.

3.0  MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

Installation must be carried out by competent personnel in accordance 
with the appropriate authority and conforming to all statutory 
governing regulations. All mains wiring must be in accordance with the 
current I.E.E. Regulations, or the appropriate standards. Ensure that the 
mains supply (Voltage, Frequency and Phase) complies with the rating 
label. 

Please note a clear working space is required around the installed unit 
to allow the cover to be removed and provide sufficient access for 
maintenance such as filter change.

Please allow a minimum of 360mm in front of an  
MRXBOXAB-ECO(3/5) unit.

The fan must be installed indoors, on a suitable wall away from direct 
sources of frost, heat and water spray or moisture generation. For a 
vibration-free result the unit must be mounted to a solid wall.

The unit must remain switched on at all times to maintain 
ventilation within the dwelling. Turning the unit off will cause long 
term damage to the unit and building fabric.

3.1 Wall Mounting

If fitting the MVHR in conjunction with a MRXBOX-AV(3/5) the 
hanging brackets supplied with the MVHR are redundant and 
should not be used. The installation instructions supplied with 
MRXBOX-AV(3/5) should be followed. 

The unit is designed for wall mounting, only on a solid wall. A 
gypsum block or stud/plasterboard wall will not suffice.

1. One part of the mounting bracket (supplied) should be offered up 

to the wall, ensuring it’s located horizontally. Mark the fixing points 
through the pre drilled holes in the bracket and install with screws 
(by others), whilst ensuring the interlock side is at the top (Figure 3).

2. Install the unit on the wall by ensuring the bracket fixed to the rear 

of the unit interlocks over the wall mounted bracket (Figure 4).

Care must be taken to ensure the unit is installed true in all 3 
dimensions. Failure to do so may result in overflow from the 
internal condensation drip tray.
