Ducting, Ducted Installation | Aprilaire 1730A specs

Ducting

The dehumidifier is supplied with two 8” round collars. An integral backflow damper is installed in the outlet collar. In a ducted installation, the dehumidifier pulls air from the living space or HVAC return duct and supplies the dehumidified air to the HVAC supply duct (See Figures 5, 6 & 7).

Ducted Installation

•Move supply collar to the desired location, if necessary. (See Supply Collar in SET-UPSection)

•The unit can be ducted to the supply or both the return and supply. The dehumidifier inlet ducting must be a minimum of 6” upstream of the

HVAC system air cleaner and the outlet must be ducted a minimum of 6” downstream of the cooling coil.

•Use the least amount of ductwork possible. To ensure best performance, do not exceed a total of 50 feet of duct installed in accordance with

SMACNA Standards. UL approved, 8” diameter, insulated duct is recommended for all connections.

• All joints and seams must be sealed.
