the outdoors. The outside louver should be high enough to avoid infiltration of snow, flooding and
rodents, etc. All necessary parts and outside louvers are included.
In cases where the basement height clearance is too low, the top portion of the bottom section can
be cut down by a maximum of 40 inches with a cutter, leaving the vents at the bottom intact, for a
total minimum unit height of 62 inches. For extra high ceilings, an extension piece of 24 inches is
available which can be added at the top of the unit.
When ducting the unit outside, no more than 3 feet of Vinyl Flex should be used. When
circumstances are that a longer span is required, rigid ducting can be used from the inside of the unit
to the wall. The rigid duct will improve the airflow to compensate for the additional distance the air
has to flow to reach the outside.
When replacing a pane for a window installation, use pressurized wood or similar water/rot proof
material.
Make sure that no pipes, studs or wires are in the way.
Duct has to be dedicated and not combined with any other existing ductwork in operation. Seal well
around the outside opening.
Installation
Factors to consider
Following is a description of how to install the Humidex unit.
The installation must be done in the basement or the lowest, dampest, coldest level of your
dwelling. Try to find an outside wall to accommodate a 6¼” exit to the exterior of the house where
no electrical wires or pipes are present Minimum distance to any source of heat should be 8 feet.
Make sure that you do not install the unit in a boiler room.
Also maximize the distance between the unit and the source of replenishment air (example: stairwell or
openings to upper level).
For Interior Wall Installation: The distance between the Humidex back and the exterior wall should
not be more than 12 feet. For this application the flex has to be replaced with rigid piping.
Optional: The bottom cap may be removed for added airflow.
Selecting the Duct Location
Now that you’ve decided where to install the unit, you must select a location for a 6¼” duct hole in
the outside wall. This hole is needed to pass a duct through the outside wall. Make sure that the
hole’s location is above ground level. Also make sure that the hole doesn’t line up with a stud,
electrical wires, or pipe. For models UNS-209 and HDS-209, which are adjustable in height, the hole
is in the box/rim joist between the floor joists of the basement ceiling, or through the wall.
