Installation
Location
The HRV/ERV must be located in a heated space where it will be possible to conveniently service the unit. Typically
the HRV would be located in the mechanical room or an area close to the outside wall where the weatherhoods will
be mounted. If a basement area is not convenient or does not exist, a utility room or laundry, closet, above drop
ceiling or attic (SE704) and garage may be used.
Attic installations
are not normally recommended due to:
•
The complexity of the installation
•
Freezing conditions in the attic
•
Difficulty of access for service and cleaning
•
No drain access
Connecting appliances to the HRV
is not recommended. These include:
•
Clothes dryer
•
Range top
•
Stovetop fan
•
Central vacuum system
•
Bathroom exhaust fans unless they are specifically designed for this purpose
These appliances may cause lint, dust or grease to collect in the HRV, damaging the unit.
Mounting – Wall Mount
1. Attach bracket to wall
2. Lift unit & slide nuts into slots on bracket
3. Tighten screws to secure unit to bracket
4. Insert the safety screws & place wall bumpers to level off the unit.
* Optional chain hanging kit available
.
Installing drain line- (SH704 & VH704 ONLY) - Drainline not included in kit
Through normal operation and during its defrost mode, the HRV may produce some condensation. This water should flow into a nearby drain, or be
taken away by a condensate pump. The HRV 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 Install the drain hose,
making a “P” trap
1 Install the drain nipple.
• Install the unit close to the
outside wall on which the
supply and exhaust hoods
will be mounted.
• Have a nearby power supply
120 Volts, 60Hz. (power
cord is 3 feet long)
• Mount the unit as level as
possible in order to allow
proper condensate drainage.
(SH704 & VH704 only)
• Have access to a water
drain for the condensate
of the unit during defrost.
(SH704 & VH704 only)
• Have a certain amount
of heat around the unit
(attic installation is not
recommended for SH704
and VH704).
• Installations close to the
living space, such as closets,
should be design and to
minimize noise or vibration
transfers.
• Have access for future
maintenance. (10” is
recommended for removal
of core)
Connecting any of
these types of
appliances to the
HRV will void your
warranty.
Safety screws (included)
Place bumpers on back
