  • Page 13: Iplume Drainage Pipe/Trap Detail (By Others)

    Rain Mitigation Inline laboratory exhaust fans, such the iPlume, require mitigation of water below the fan if the fan is not running at all times. The iPlume has drains in the nozzle and funnel but water entry is possible during heavy rain events. In bottom intake installations rain mitigation must take place in the ductwork below the fan.
