Drain Connections

Drain Connection (HRV Only)

During a defrost cycle, the HRV may produce some condensation. This water should flow into a nearby drain, or be taken away by a condensate pump.

CAUTION

The HRV and all condensate lines must be installed in a space where the temperature is maintained above the freezing point or freeze protection must be provided.

The HRV cabinet has prepunched holes for the drain (see below). Insert the drain spout through the hole in the drain pan. Do not forget the “O ring” which seals each spout to the pan REMEMBER TO HAND TIGHTEN ONLY the washer and lock nut which hold the drain spout in place.

Construct a P-Trap using the plastic tee connector. Cut two lengths of hose and connect each piece to an end of the “T” fitting, then connect the other ends to the two drain spouts. Position the “T” fitting to point upward and connect the drain line. Tape or fasten base to avoid any kinks. Pour a cup of water into the drain pan of the HRV after the drain connection is complete. This creates a water seal which will prevent odors from being drawn up the hose and into the fresh air supply of the HRV.
