Installation Notes

•  Unit is normally balanced on HIGH speed with the furnace blower ON.

•  Weatherhood arrangement is for drawing purposes only. Six feet (2m) 

minimum separation is recommended. The Weatherhood must also be 18" 

(460mm) above grade minimum. 

•  The airflow must be confirmed on site using the balancing procedures 

found in this manual.

Dampers for

Backdraft
Damper

leaf hinge

Spring-Loaded Backdraft Damper

Install the Backdraft Damper with the leaf hinge vertical. 

The damper is installed on the “Stale Air to Outside Collar”.

4” (102mm) Backdraft Damper Part No. 99-RSK4

5” (127mm) Backdraft Damper Part No. 99-RSK5

6” (152mm) Backdraft Damper Part No. 99-RSK6

8” (203mm) Backdraft Damper Part No. 99-RSK8

The Stale Air to Outside air duct requires
a Backdraft Damper. This damper prevents 
outdoor air from entering the HRV
during the operation of the Furnace/
Airhandler while the HRV is in standby, 
OFF or Recirculate.

WARNING

Partially Dedicated Installation Diagrams

Partially Dedicated System

This installation enables stale air to be drawn from the

poorest air quality areas of the home (bathrooms,

kitchen).

Key Points

• The HRV must be balanced.
• It is recommended that the furnace blower run

continuously or HRV operation be interlocked with

the furnace blower to evenly distribute the fresh air

throughout the house.

• The duct configuration may change depending on the

HRV model. See specifications for your unit.

• Check local codes / authority having jurisdiction for

acceptance.

• A backdraft damper is required in the exhaust air

duct to prevent outdoor air from entering the unit

when the Furnace/Airhandler is running and the unit

is in Standby, OFF or Recirculate.

Sizing the Ductwork

It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure all

ductwork is sized and installed as designed to ensure

the system will perform as intended. 
The  amount of air (cfm) that an HRV will deliver is

directly related to the total external static pressure

(E.S.P.) of the system. Static pressure is a measure of

resistance imposed on the blower by length of duct

work plus the number of fittings used in the duct work.
