HRV200PLUS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

G. VENT AND DUCT INSTALLATION

WARNING! - CONNECTING APPLIANCES TO THE HRV200PLUS

Do not connect any of the following appliances to the HRV200PLUS because lint, dust and/or grease will collect in the HRV, damaging the ventilator:

clothes dryer

• gas furnace

• gas water heater

range top

B-vented gas fireplace

direct vent gas fireplace

stove top fan

solid fuel fireplace or heater

central vacuum system

Connecting any of these appliances to the HRV200PLUS will void the warranty.

The HRV200PLUS (HRV) not only serves as the fresh air ventilator for the home, but is also the power venting device for the Fresh Air Fireplace (FAF). The conduits from the FAF to the HRV and from the HRV to the exhaust termination remove both stale air from the home and the products of combustion from the FAF. Thus the exhaust air conduit acts as the chimney for your fireplace!

The HRV200PLUS requires four standard and one optional vent/duct connections:

Standard

1.Fresh Air Supply - Fresh air from the Fresh Air Inlet to the HRV.

2.Warmside Air Supply - Heated fresh air from the HRV into the living area.

3.Fresh Air Fireplace Exhaust - Stale air/combustion products from the FAF to the HRV.

4.HRV Exhaust - Stale air/combustion products from the HRV to the Flue Exhaust.

Optional - Alternate Exhaust Damper Assembly

Alternate Exhaust - Stale air from the living area to the HRV.

Note: Each of these connections has specific requirements for safe system operation, comfort and optimum efficiency. Always try to mini- mize duct run length and follow the manufacturer’s installation in- structions. Always follow specific code requirements.

The unit features adjustable settings that allow users to customize airflow according to their specific needs. With multiple fan speeds, homeowners can choose the most suitable option for their daily activities, ensuring an ideal balance between indoor air quality and energy use. Furthermore, the HRV200PLUS includes a built-in filter system that captures dust, allergens, and other airborne particles, enhancing overall air quality.

Durability and ease of maintenance are also keys in the design of the HRV200PLUS. Constructed with high-quality materials, this unit is made to last, reducing the need for frequent replacements. The filters are easily accessible, making periodic maintenance straightforward, which further extends the product's lifespan.

In summary, the Hearth and Home Technologies HRV200PLUS stands out as a premium choice for homeowners seeking a reliable and efficient ventilation solution.
