mechanical room, above a drop ceiling or an area close to the outside wall where the weatherhoods will be mounted. Attic installations are not recom-
mended due to extreme temperatures, and difficulty in performing, required service & maintenance. Care must be taken to locate the recirculation port in
an area that will not cause any unwanted contaminant to be drawn into the living space during recirculation and defrost.
Flexible duct connectors should be installed between the HRV and the galvanized ductwork.
