Basement Installation manual
UK
Additional installation tips
All measurements in this manual are applicable to the SolarVenti (K) basement
INTRO
models only. The measurements CANNOT be used with our standard SolarVenti air
collectors (SV14, SV20, SV30). Solar cell is not standard in basement systems.
Position: The panel can be installed either vertically or horizontally. In a vertical
position it can be turned, so the injection takes place either in the top or bottom,
and by horizontal position either to the right or left.
Optimal Inblow: If possible the air inlet should be installed in the driest room and
the outlet in the most humid room in the basement – otherwise you risk spreading
the humid air throughout the entire basement.
The wall of the basement: Drilling through basement walls can be challenging and
TOOLS
the tools needed to make the hole will depend on the wall material. Contact your
local SolarVenti installer for further advice regarding the drilling and the installation.
The hole: Take care not to drill into cables etc.
The centre of the air inlet must be at least 100 mm below the basement ceiling.
The optimal diameter of the hole is Ø133 mm on the inside and Ø140 mm on the
outside. It is possible to use a Ø135 mm both inside and outside.
Screws: Screws for the mounting of the Solar Air Collector to the wall are not
included.
Cable: The cable of the Solar Air Collector may either go through the hole of the air

inlet – as shown above – or a separate 6-8 mm hole may be drilled in the position
desired.
The pressure losses in the SolarVenti standard panels are proportional to the air
p. 9
flow per m² of collector. The pressure losses only refer to the collector itself and do
not take the specific installation (pipes, inlet valve etc.) into account.
In order to have protection against possible lighting, the installation should be
carrying on according with the norm EN 62305.
