2.0 INSTALLATION
The RP, GP and XP Series Fans can be mounted indoors or outdoors. (It
is suggested that EPA and radon mitigation standards recommendations
be followed in choosing the fan location.) The GP fans have an integrated
mounting bracket; RP and XP Series Fans may be mounted directly on
the system piping or fastened to a supporting structure by means of an
optional mounting bracket.
The ducting from the fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect
on noise and fan energy use. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing
possible for best performance, and avoid installing the fan with smaller
ducts than recommended. Insulation around the ducts can reduce energy
loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not
achieve their rated airflow.
2.1 MOUNTING
Mount the RP, GP and XP Series Fan vertically with outlet up. Insure the unit is
plumb and level. When mounting directly on the system piping assure that the fan
does not contact any building surface to avoid vibration noise.
2.2 MOUNTING BRACKET (optional)
The RP and XP Series Fans may be optionally secured with the RadonAway P/N
25007 mounting bracket. Foam or rubber grommets may also be used between
the bracket and mounting surface for vibration isolation.
2.3 SYSTEM PIPING
Complete piping run, using flexible couplings as a means of disconnect for
servicing the unit and for vibration isolation. As the fan is typically outside of the
building thermal boundary and is venting to the outside, installation of insulation
around the fan is not required.
2.4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Connect wiring with wire nuts provided, observing proper connections (See Section
1.9). Note that the fan is not intended for connection to rigid metal conduit.
2.5 VENT MUFFLER (optional)
Install the muffler assembly in the selected location in the outlet ducting. Solvent
weld all connections. The muffler is normally installed at the end of the vent pipe.

2.6 OPERATION CHECKS & ANNUAL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
______ Verify all connections are tight and leak-free.
______ Ensure the RP, GP and XP Series Fan and all ducting are secure and vibration-free.
______ Verify system vacuum pressure with manometer. Insure vacuum pressure is within normal
operating range and less than the maximum recommended operating pressure.
(Based on sea-level operation, at higher altitudes reduce by about 4% per 1000 feet)
(Further reduce Maximum Operating Pressure by 10% for High Temperature environments.)
See Product Specifications. If this is exceeded, increase the number of suction points.
______ Verify Radon levels by testing to EPA Protocol and applicable testing standards.
