Drain Connection For RNC4-TPD and RNC4-TPF models
Installation Notes
The HRV cabinet has pre-punched holes for the drain (see below).
The HRV may produce some condensation during a defrost cycle. This water should flow into a nearby
drain, or be taken away by a condensate pump.
1.
Ensure that the drain spout has a foam gasket on the bottom of the head. See figure below.
2. Insert the drain spout through the hole in the drain pan.
3. HAND TIGHTEN the nylon nut which will hold the drain spout in place.
Construct a P-trap using the plastic tee connector.
4.
Cut two lengths of 1/2 in drain hose (not included) and connect the other ends to the two drain spouts.
5.
6. Position the tee connector to point upward and connect the drain line.
7. Tape or fasten to avoid any kinks.
8. Pour a cup of water into the drain pan of the HRV after the drain connection is complete. This
creates a water seal which will prevent odours from being drawn up the hose and into the fresh air
supply of the HRV.
The HRV cabinet has pre-punched holes for the drain (see below).
