Select Location
The HRV should be located in a conditioned space and in close
proximity to a fused power source. It should be easily accessible
for routine maintenance.
If HRV is installed independent of a forced- -air system, unit should
be located near the center of the air distribution system. If HRV is
installed in conjunction with a forced- -air system, unit should be
located next to (or close to) the indoor equipment.

UNIT INSTALLATION

CAUTION
!
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
Do not install HRV in a corrosive or contaminated
atmosphere.
Mount Unit
The HRV can be suspended from floor joists using chains and 4
springs. Attach metal hanging bracket to all 4 sides of cabinet (see
Fig. 8). Unit should always be installed as level as possible.

Independent System Application
In the absence of a forced- -air system and a typical duct system
layout, the HRV can be applied as an independent or stand alone
unit. To ensure comfort, this type of application involves running
both fresh- -air and return- -air registers (or stale- -air pickup registers)
throughout the home.
WARNING
!
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or death.
Do not install return- -air registers (or stale- -air pickup
registers) in same room as gas furnace or water heater.
Fresh- -air registers are normally located in bedrooms, dining room,
living room, and basement. It is recommended that registers be
placed 6 to 12 in. (152 to 305 mm) from the ceiling on an interior
wall and airflow directed toward ceiling. If registers are floor
installed, airflow should be directed toward the wall.
Return- -air (or stale- -air pickup registers) are normally located to
draw from kitchen, bathroom, basement, or other rooms where
stale- -air can exist.
Proper size and type of registers must be used to minimize pressure
drop. The velocity of airflow through register should not be above
400 ft/minute.
