95 MAX Port Specifications

The 95 Max Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) has been designed to allow the installer to choose between two possible positions on the cabinet for the INDOOR EXHAUST (return from building) port. Illustrations in this manual show standard (side mounted) port loca- tion. The same specifications apply to both 95 Max setups, regardless of which port position is selected.

remove the knock-out plate. If any protective film still blocks the opening, remove it now.

In order to make the 95 Max as space efficient as pos- sible, the INDOOR supply and return ports are converted from round to oval shape. Overall size of the port remains the same. Simply bend a standard duct fitting to the correct shape, and attach to the oval port using the same method as for a round port.

The exhaust return port collar is not factory installed. Installer may choose either side mounted or alternate top mounted port by simply removing one of the two knock-out plates and attaching a port collar (supplied). To remove knock-out plate, insert a utility knife into the knock-out slits and trace them completely to puncture protective film underneath. Then, cut the solid tabs between the slits, using tin snips or side cutters, and

95 MAX Air Flow

Stale air enters the FRONT RIGHT side port. The air will pass down the front half of the core, then up the back half of the core and out the RIGHT REAR port.

Fresh outdoor air will enter the LEFT REAR port and pass down the back half of the core. It will then pass up the front half of the core, and out the LEFT FRONT port. This unique configuration allows the air to actual- ly travel through the core twice, making the 95 MAX almost as efficient as a double core unit.
