mounting the unit to
supporting beams.

LOCATION
The ERV should be located in a conditioned space where it will be possible to conveniently service
the unit. Typically the ERV would be located in the mechanical room or an area close to the out-
side wall where the weatherhoods will be mounted.
Connecting appliances to the ERV It is not recommended, including:
- clothes dryer
- range top
- stovetop fan
- central vacuum system
These appliances may cause lint, dust or grease to collect in the ERV, damaging the unit.
NOTE: Connecting any of these type of appliances to the ERV will "void" your warranty
MOUNTING *
1 Place Fastening hooks
on the strapping board
or the floor joists.
Installing Drain Line - Units with defrost
Through normal operation and during its defrost mode, the ERV may produce some condensation.
This water should flow into a nearby drain, or be taken away by a condensate pump. The ERV and
all condensate lines must be installed in a space where the temperature is maintained above the
freezing point. A "P" trap should be made in the drain line. This will prevent odors from being
drawn back up into the unit.
1 Install the drain nipple.
2 Attach a hanging chain
(provided) to each 10 3/4"
(19 mm) bolt (provided) in
the top 4 corners of the
unit and tighten.
3 Hang the unit by
slipping a link onto the
hanging hooks, making
sure the unit is level.
2 Install the drain hose,
making a "P" trap
