INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
MODEL RPV
PENTHOUSE GRAVITY VENTILATOR
Filter inspection and cleaning intervals can vary
from once a week to twice per year depending on
contaiminant present and acceptable pressure
drops across the filter. Under most conditions
filters may be cleaned with hot water and a mild
soap solution (such as dish washing liquid) or
steam. Some caustic cleaners will damage the
filters.
High pressure spray washers should be limited to
2000 psi operating pressure. Every attempt should
be made to remove the contaminants from the
filter in a "backwash" flow. Once the filter is dry,
it may be returned to the appropriate filter facks
in the same orientation (airflow direction) as they
were removed.
MAINTENANCE
Establish a definite schedule per the manu-
factuerers recommendation for inspecting any
accessory filters or damper units that may
have been installed with the ventilator.
Inspect the ventilator yearly for any debris that
may obstruct airflow. Check exterior surfaces
for dust and grease. To assure proper
operation, remove any dust and grease from the
RPV surfaces.
