4. INSTALLATION
4.1 LOCATION
The Quest 100 Dehumidifier can be installed in a variety of locations to meet the owner’s needs as listed
below. In all cases keep the following cautions in mind:
• Locate the dehumidifier near a suitable drain (8’ drain hose included). Allow for proper drainage and
routing of needed drain pipes.
• Locate the dehumidifier in an area where the cord’s length (9’) easily reaches a 115 VAC electrical
outlet with a minimum of a 15 Amp circuit capacity.
• The unit is designed to operate while level. If the unit is placed on an unlevel surface, refer to section
below (Installing Leveling Feet). Failure to level the unit may result in leakage or improper drainage.
• Allow sufficient clearance to handle the unit’s overall dimensions as well as any optional return and
supply ductwork to the unit.
• Allow sufficient clearance for filter removal and to prevent airflow obstruction.
• Electrical service access will require the removal of the top “L” shaped panel. Allow sufficient
clearance around the unit.
• The Quest 100 Dehumidifier may be suspended with steel hanger, straps, or a suitable alternative
from structural members, unit must be supported from underneath. Don’t hang from sides or ends.
See section 4.4
• The unit should be suspended with a hang kit from the floor joists if there is any possibility of
flooding. A flooded unit is not covered by warranty. Feet will be installed as a securing measure after
the hang kit is put on the dehumidifier. DO NOT hang the Quest 100 dehumidifier from its’ cabinet.
4.2 DUCTING
Return and supply duct collars are optional accessories for the Quest 100 and not included with the unit.
CAUTION!
Do not connect with a static pressure greater than or equal to +1.0 WG. Contact
technical support at (877) 420-1330 for additional details.
DUCTING CONSIDERATIONS:
• All flexible ducting connected to the Quest 100 should be UL listed.
• A short piece of flexible ducting on all Quest 100 duct connections is recommended to
reduce noise and vibration transmitted to rigid ductwork in the structure.
• Use a minimum 10” diameter round or equivalent rectangular duct for total duct
lengths of up to 25’.
• Grills or diffusers on the duct ends must not excessively restrict airflow.
• A length of 8” or more of insulated flex duct or any other vibration isolating material on the
outlet of the
Quest 100 will reduce air noise from the blower.
• When ducting two or three areas, use 8” or larger diameter branch ducting. When ducting to four or
more areas, use 6” or larger diameter branch ducting. Provisions must be made to provide airflow
supply locations to the central return location. Proper air distribution is important to ensure even
humidity control and heat distribution throughout the structure.
