General guidelines

The proper functioning of your DUCO ventilation system depends entirely on the choice and implementation quality of the supply 

and return pipes! Therefore, keep the following guidelines in mind when choosing the installation location�

Before putting the unit into operation, it must first be connected to a duct network to prevent you from being able 

to touch the fan.

•  Always use high-grade materials and seals in order to achieve the best airtightness� The entire system is based on proper 

airtight connections and duct routing�

•  The ductwork is to be installed with as few bends as possible and hence the least resistance� The system is based on a maximum 

resistance of 150 Pa (for D225 and D325) and 200 Pa (for D400, D350, D450 and D550)�

•  Take care to ensure that the ducts are free from dents, long screws and extra obstructions on the inside� This is detrimental to 

proper maintenance and sustainable operation�

•  The supply duct (fresh outdoor air) must be far enough away from a polluted source� This could be the exhaust duct, or an outlet 

duct of combustion air� Please refer to applicable local legislation (e�g� for BE: STS-P73-1 chapter 4�16�3; for NL: EN13779:2007 

table A�2; for FR: DTU 68�3 P1-1-1 (6�5) + P1-1-4 (5�1�2) etc�)

•  To achieve maximum acoustic comfort, 

DUCO recommends installing a silencer on 

the ducts going into the house� A silencer 

may also be needed in order to prevent 

voices from carrying from one room to 

another�

•  Ducts connected with the outdoor air must 

be adequately insulated in order to prevent 

condensation� Any ducting in uninsulated 

unheated spaces also needs to be insulated�

•  Always install the extract air duct on the 

house side (ETA) draining towards the unit  in 

order to avoid any build-up of condensation 

in the duct� A great deal of moisture-laden 

air can be extracted during showering or 

cooking�

•  It is better to choose the supply of outdoor 

air on the north side, to avoid drawing in too 

warm air inside during the summer months�

•  Ensure that the air inlet is accessible for any 

cleaning that may be required� A smaller 

passage area can actually have a major 

negative impact on system performance�

•  DUCO recommends installing a minimum 

of 40 cm length of straight ducting before 

deflecting the air flow on the intake side of 

the supply�

an overview with the most important points of 

interest�

ODA

64 mm

0000-4376

80 mm

Use thermally insulated ducts for ODA 

and EHA.

Use at least 1 m of flexible or rigid 

silencer.
Rigid = low emission from housing 

Flex = low noise from duct

Duct diameter

 160 mm to 250 m³/h  /   180 mm from 250 m³/h and 

over or equivalent subject to calculation (e.g. with cast-

in ducting)
Make sure that the total counter pressure in the ducts 

is as low as possible (preferably ≤ 150Pa) and that the 

airspeed in every duct does not exceed 3 m/s.

Hang the unit level.

Allow sufficient space for the 

condensate drain.

Use silencers between 

rooms to prevent voices from 

carrying.

For wall mounting: wall 

with minimum mass density 

of 200 kg/m². Plaster blocks or 

metal struts are not adequate!
Use a mounting plinth if the wall is 

not sufficient.

Use brackets 

with a rubber 

inlay to reduce 

transmission of 

vibration.

Keep resistance down 

to a minimum. 

Avoid as much as 

possible the use of 

curves. Avoid sharp 

angles. Avoid bumps 

and dirt in the ducts.

Select a roof pass-through 

with low resistance.

Assure an airtight connection by 

using tape, clamping strips or tie-

wrap. Do not use screws. Place 

a cap on any unused connection 

opening.

Ensure there is sufficient distance 

between ODA and EHA cf. EN 13779.

The correct operation of your Duco ventilation system is entirely dependent 

on the choice and build quality of the supply and exhaust ducts!

Has the duct system been optimized? Ask 
professional advice from your duct supplier. It 
saves you time, ensures quality and provides 
energetic advantage for the end user!
