5.3.3 A
TTIC
• Ideal for homes without a central furnace,
or limited space applications, allows filtration
and a better air circulation throughout the
house.
• Only one partition to go through to install
the registers.
• No visible ducts.
• The HEPA Filtration model GSFH1K has
no connection to the outside, so all parts
encircled are not required.
CAUTION
When the ambient temperature for the unit
location is below freezing (32°F - 0°C), the unit
must run continuously to prevent condensation.
VH0054
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS:
• Installing the unit near an exterior wall will shorten the length of the insulated ducts
(not necessary for HEPA Filtration only model GSFH1K).
• If a HEPA Filtration Fresh Air & Heat Recovery Ventilation model GSHH3K is installed, a water drain must be close to collect
the run-off.
• All ducts must be insulated.
• For the HEPA Filtration, Fresh Air & Heat Recovery Ventilation (GSHH3K) and the HEPA Filtration, Fresh Air & Energy
Recovery Ventilation (GSEH3K) models only, if the ambient temperature around the unit drops below freezing (32°F - 0°C),
go to Section 6.11 (Low Temperature Applications) for instructions on drain line protection (GSHH3K only) and other cold
environment installation details.
Only for the models GSVH1K, GSHH3K
and GSEH3K that use fresh outside air.
Drain required only for the GSHH3K
model .
