MOUNTING THE 1500/2000/2500 INDOOR MODELS
The HRV be in a heated space where the surrounding air temperature does not fall below 60°F
(16°C). The HRV must be mounted level (horizontal) to obtain proper drainage of water from the
heat exchange element and drip pans. The warranty will be void if these conditions are not met.
Typically, the HRV is positioned close to an outside wall or the roof to simplify the connections and
keep the length of insulated ducting required for the fresh air intake to a minimum.
A minimum clearance of 40 in. (1m) on one side of the HRV is recommended to service the heat
exchanger cores and the filters.
Hanging the HRV
The HRV should be hung by a threaded rod type assembly which
provides a cradle for the unit. Note that 4x4s should sit between
the metal “U” channels and the unit to avoid damage to the lip of
the cabinet. Mounting hardware not provided.
Floor Mounting the HRV
Mount the unit on wooden or metal support assembly.
Raise the HRV to an adequate height and slope the drain
lines. The unit may be mounted on an equipment platform
providing the drain hoses are clear and there is enough
space to open the doors for servicing.
