    Fully Dedicated System Installation Notes The HRV must be balanced.  When balancing, all external exhaust systems should be  turned off (i.e. range hood, dryer exhaust, bathroom vents). All exhausting appliances should have their own make-up  air, as this is not an intended use of the HRV system. The duct configuration may change depending on the ...
  • Page 7: Hanging Straps

    Hanging Straps - Installation Notes Use 4 screws and 4 washers (not provided) to attach the hanging straps to the floor joists. The washer must be wider than the eyelet of the grommet on the hanging strap. The hanging straps are designed to reduce the possibility of noise, resonance and harmonics.
  • Page 8: Drain Connection

    Drain Connection Installation Notes The HRV cabinet has pre-punched holes for the drain (see below). The HRV may produce some condensation during a defrost cycle. This water should flow into a nearby drain, or be taken away by a condensate pump. Insert the drain spout through the hole in the drain pan.
  • Page 9: Grilles

    Grilles Adjustable grilles should be used to balance the flow rates into and out of various rooms. The grilles should not be adjusted after balancing the unit. Grilles or diffusers should be positioned high on the wall or in the ceiling. Kitchen exhaust should never be connected to the range hood.

    Grille Fittings Stack Head Elbow (part # 99-WF4 / 99WF6) Rough-in Metal Fitting Use this rough-in fitting before the drywall is installed. This (part # 99-RIMF 4/5/6/8) fitting is ideal for running ducting through 2 x 4 (min.) Use this rough-in fitting before the drywall is studded walls.
  • Page 11: Airflow Weatherhood And Weatherhood Requirements

    Airflow Weatherhood Fixed covered weatherhoods have a built-in bird screen with a 1/4 in (6 mm) mesh to prevent foreign objects from entering the ductwork. Installation Notes The inner and outer liners of the flexible insulated duct must be clamped to the sleeve of the weatherhoods (as close to the outside as possible) and the appropriate port on the HRV.

  • Page 18: Balancing The Airflows

    Balancing the Airflows Balan cing the airflows is critical to ensuring that the amount of air introduced from the outside of the building equals the amount of air exhausted to the outside of the building. If these two airflows are not properly balanced, the following issues may occur: ...
  • Page 19: Determining The Cfm

    Determining the CFM After balancing the airflows, calculate the CFM flow rate. Example This example shows how to determine the airflow for a 6 in diameter duct. If the duct velocity pressure reads 0.025 in w.g. on the digital manometer, use the chart that came with the pitot tube to determine a duct velocity of 640 ft/min.
  • Page 20: Balancing The Airflows With A Pitot Tube

    Balancing Preparation Prior to performing the air balancing procedure, perform the following steps: Seal the ductwork.  Confirm the installation and proper operation of all the components of the HRV.  Fully open the balancing dampers.  Turn off all household exhaust devices (range hood, clothes dryer, bathroom fans). ...
  • Page 21: Balancing The Airflow Using The Door Ports

    Balancing the Airflow using the Door Ports Door balancing ports (not on all models) are designed to be used in the conjunction with a magnehelic gauge or digital manometer to measure the stale and fresh airflows for balancing. Step 1: Prepare the airflow measuring device Balancing Ports for the AIR130-ES (i.e.
