The Broan Fresh Air Systems units are versatile appliances capable of delivering filtered air (model GSFH1K) or both filtered and
fresh air to your home (models GSVH1K, GSHH3K and GSEH3K). Because each installation is different, it is recommended you take
the time to plan your installation. The three main areas to plan for are:
• Where to locate the Broan Fresh Air Systems unit
• How to pick-up the air from the room and distribute the filtered or fresh/filtered air
• Where to bring fresh air from outside and exhaust stale air to outside (models GSVH1K, GSHH3K and GSEH3K).
Use the following chart to determine the appropriate installation method for the unit.
Example: Basement installation
in Section 5.4.1
Example: Crawl space installation
in Section 5.5.1
CAUTION
Do not install duct or duct connector directly above the furnace. Do not connect the plenum connection closer than 2’ (0.61m)
to the furnace, as measured along the length of the duct.
The
Return-to-Return
installation can be performed.
The
Central Draw Point
installation can be performed.
Is the house equipped with a furnace or air handler?

Is there enough space to connect the unit duct(s) to the existing

performed on the cold air return duct, at a minimum linear distance
of 2’ (0.61 m) from the furnace/air handler.)
