RNC95 Specifications

The RNC95 HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator) has been designed to allow the installer to choose between two possible positions on the cabinet for the Stale Air Exhaust (from building) port. Illustrations in this manual show standard (side mounted) port location. The same specifications apply to both RNC95 setups, regardless of which port position is selected.

In order to make the RNC95 as space efficient as possible, 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.

Variable Port Location / Installation (Model RNC95 only)

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

RNC95 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.
