INSTALLING DRAIN LINE

Through normal operation and during its defrost mode, the ERV may produce some condensation. This water should flow into a nearby drain, or be taken 
away by a condensate pump. The ERV and all condensate lines must be installed in a space where the temperature is maintained above the freezing point. 
A “P” trap should be made in the drain line. This will prevent odors from being drawn back up into the unit.

2  

Invert the drain nipple. Make 

sure to place gasket between 
the unit and the drain nipple 
inside the unit.

3  

Secure the drain nipple using 

the nutsert.

4  

Install the drain hose making a 

"P" trap, secure the 
condensate line drain 
connection using the tube 
clamp provided.

  Fill the condensate line with 

water.

The drain nipple is placed upside down in the unit to prevent it being damaged during shipping or the installation of the unit.
For both drain and drainless installation the drain nipple needs to be flipped.

If outdoor air temperature is above 32°F (0°C) at the extract air (30% RH/72°F, 30% RH /22°C),  no drain line installation is required. 
If this is the case keep the drain spout as shipped from factory with the cap.
