Drain Connection
During defrost cycle the HRV unit may produce some condensation and the water should
flow
into a nearby drain.
The HRV cabinet has pre-punched holes(two on side and one on the door) for the drain, in order to keep the drain pan
intact,
hand tighten
the plastic drain spout to the unit using the gasket and nuts.
For Vertical installation
Cut two sections of ½" drain pipe and connect the other ends to the drain spout then connect to “T” connector. Connect a
drain line and create a
P-trap
to prevent the unit from unpleasant odours from drain source. Tape or fasten base to avoid
any bends.
(For vertical installation)
