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.
