6.6CONNECTING DUCTS TO THE UNIT

Insulated flexible duct

Use the following procedure for connecting the insulated flexible duct to the ports on the unit (exhaust to outside and fresh air from outside).

a)Pull back the insulation to expose the flexible duct.

b)Connect the interior flexible duct to the port using a duct tie.

c)Carefully seal the connection with duct tape.

d)Pull the insulation over the joint and tuck it between the inner and outer rings of the double collar.

e)Pull the vapor barrier over the insulation and over the outer ring of the double collar.

f)Apply duct tape to the joint making an airtight seal. Avoid compressing the insulation when you pull the tape tightly around the joint. Compressed insulation loses its R value and causes water dripping due to condensation on the exterior surface of the duct.

CAUTION

Make sure that the vapor barrier on the insulated ducts does not tear during installation to avoid condensation within the duct.

Rigid duct:

Use duct tape to connect the rigid ducts to the ports.

CAUTION

Do not use screws to connect rigid ducts to the ports.

Make sure that the 2 balancing dampers are left in a fully open position before connecting the ducts to these ports (fresh air distribution port and stale air exhaust port as shown on figure 14).

ERV-150, HRV-150, ERV-210, HRV-210 specifications

The Maytag HRV-210, ERV-210, HRV-150, and ERV-150 are advanced heat recovery and energy recovery ventilators designed to enhance indoor air quality while promoting energy efficiency in residential settings. Each model comes packed with features tailored to balance ventilation and energy conservation, making them suitable for a variety of home environments.

The HRV-210 and HRV-150 are heat recovery ventilators that excel in transferring heat from outgoing stale air to incoming fresh air. This process effectively maintains comfortable indoor temperatures, recovering up to 70% of the heat energy, which can lead to significant energy savings during colder months. Both models boast an airflow capacity of up to 210 CFM and 150 CFM, respectively, ensuring effective ventilation for medium to large-sized homes.

On the other hand, the ERV-210 and ERV-150 embody energy recovery technology that captures not only heat but also moisture content from the air. This is particularly beneficial in humid climates where maintaining humidity levels is crucial for comfort and health. With similar airflow capacities as the HRV models, these ERVs help regulate humidity levels, preventing the growth of mold and improving indoor air quality.

All four models are equipped with energy-efficient motors designed for quiet operation, ensuring that users experience minimal noise disruption while enjoying fresh air. The inclusion of user-friendly controls and adjustable settings allows homeowners to customize their ventilation strategy according to seasonal changes or personal preferences.

Another important characteristic of the Maytag ventilators is their durable build and ease of installation. With a design that promotes straightforward maintenance, the filters can be easily accessed and cleaned or replaced, extending the life of the unit and maintaining optimal performance over time.

In addition to their functional benefits, all models adhere to industry standards for energy efficiency, contributing to sustainable living practices. The Maytag HRV-210, ERV-210, HRV-150, and ERV-150 are comprehensive solutions for homeowners looking to enhance indoor air quality while optimizing energy consumption, making them a smart investment for modern living. Each model combines innovative technologies with practical features, making them a standout choice in the realm of home ventilation systems.
