2.0 INSTALLATION

2.1 A.C. POWER CONNECTION

See Section 1.8. The GP500 requires an 18 gauge, 3 wire SJ 
power cord, RadonAway p/n 27003 or equivalent.  For proper 
seal, the cord diameter should be 5/16”.  To install:

 

1) Prepare the power cord by stripping jacket and 

 

    insulation as shown in Figure 2.

 

2) Loosen sealing nut on electrical inlet by turning 

 

    counterclockwise.

 

3) Insert power cord and route as shown in Figure 3.

 

4) Fasten power cord with cable clamp provided.

 

5) IMPORTANT: Tighten sealing nut by turning clockwise.  

 

    Hand tighting is adequate to provide seal.

 

6) Connect wiring with wire nuts provided, observing 

 

    proper connections:

 

7) Tape over wire and wire nut with electrical tape to seal 

 

    out moisture. A rubber splicing tape or self-fusing 

 

    silicone tape provide best moisture seal.

2.2 OUTDOOR (BAND JOIST OR SIDEWALL)

 

1) Locate site for  GP500 mounting. Use the diagram in 

 

    Figure 4 to assist in locating the inlet hole for the unit.

 

2) Drill a 5.25” or 5.50” hole through the band joist or 

 

     sidewall.

 

(Use Figure 5 as a Guide for 3-6):

 

3) Apply a liberal bead of silicone caulk to the sealing ring.

 

4) Carefully feed power cord through hole and install the 

 

    unit into the hole drilled.

  

5) Ensure the unit is level and plumb.

 

6) Ensure the inlet of the fan does not contact any building 

 

    surface when mounting to avoid noise or vibration 

 

    transmission.

 

7) Secure unit to sidewall with four (4) #6 x 2.0” drywall 

 

    screws provided. Use nylon washers provided under the 

 

    screw heads to prevent marring the finish.

 

8) Complete piping run, providing flexible couplings or 

 

    other means of disconnect for servicing the unit.
