4. Typical Installation There are three (3) common installation methods. 4.1 F ULLY UCTED YSTEM (Primarily for homes with radiant hot water or electric baseboard heating. See figure 1.) Moist, stale air is exhausted from the high humidity areas in the home, such as bathrooms, kitchen and laundry room.
4 straps (included) (see figure 7 beside). For Broan U.S.A. models HRV100H, HRV200H, ERV100HC, and ERV200HC, hang the unit to ceiling joists with the 4 chains, springs and hooks (included) (see figure 7 beside).
5. Installation (cont’d) 5.3 C ALCULATING THE Use the table below to ensure that the ducts you intend to install will be carrying air flows at or under the recommended values. Avoid installing ducts that will have to carry air flows near the maximum values and never install a duct if its air flow exceeds the maximum value.
5. Installation (cont’d) 5.4 I NSTALLING THE UCTWORK AND EGISTERS WARNING Never install a stale air exhaust register in a room where a combustion device is, such as a gas furnace, a gas water heater or a fireplace. CAUTION The ductwork is intended to be installed in compliance with all applicable codes. 5.4.1 Fully Ducted System (as illustrated in Section 4.1) Stale air exhaust ductwork:...

Please refer to your local building code. CAUTION When performing connection to the furnace ducts (Method 1), these ducts must be sized to support the additional airflow produced by the HRV/ERV.
5. Installation (cont’d) 5.5 C ONNECTING UCTS TO THE Insulated flexible duct Use the following procedure for connecting the insulated flexible duct to the ports on the unit (exhaust to outside and fresh air from outside). Pull back the insulation to expose the flexible duct. Connect the interior flexible duct to the port using a duct tie.
