CAUTION
Potential Freeze Conditions leading to Water Damage.
Condensation can accumulate and cause water damage
to equipment, finished surfaces and structures.
Do not install HRV or route condensate drain lines in
areas that can be subjected to freezing.
Potential Water Damage.
Unit must be installed level to ensure proper condensation
drainage. Avoid installing units above areas or equipment
that are sensitive to water damage. Connect condensate
drains in accordance with national and local codes. P−
Trap and tubing must be located below the HRV door with
a minimum of ¼" per foot downward slope away from unit.

through the hole in the drain pan. Be sure to install the
O-ring (if supplied) which seals each spout to the pan.
