Installation

5.1 Installation general

Installing the appliance
1. Placing the appliance (§5.2)
2. Connecting the condensate discharge (§5.3)
3. Connecting the ducts (§5.4)
4. Electric connection:
Connecting the mains power, multiple switch and, if neces-
sary, the eBus connection (§5.5)

5.2 Placing the appliance

The Ubiflux can directly be mounted to the wall using the sus-
pension brackets supplied for that purpose. For a vibration-free
result the appliance must be mounted to a solid wall with a
minimum mass of 200 kg/m
does not suffice! Additional measures such as double panelling
or extra studs are required in that case. On request, a mounting
support for floor mounting is available. In addition, the following
aspects must be taken into account.

5.3 Connecting the condensate discharge

The condensate discharge line for the Ubiflux is fed through
the lower panel. The condensate must be discharged through
a drainpipe.
The condensate discharge comes separately with the appli-
ance and the installer must screw. Use PTFE (Teflon) tape to
obtain a leakproof connection. Maximum torque is 10 Nm. This
condensate discharge connection has an external connection
diameter of 20 mm.
The condensate discharge line can be glued to it, if necessary
using a square bend. The installer can glue the condensate
discharge in the desired position in the lower part of the ap-
pliance. The drain must discharge under the water level in the
U-trap. Before connecting the condensate discharge to the ap-
pliance, pour water into the U- or S-trap to create an air seal.

5.4 Connecting ducts

The air exhaust duct does not have to be fitted with a control
diffuser. The appliance itself controls the air flowrates. To pre-
vent condensation on the outside of the outdoor air supply duct
and the air exhaust duct from the Ubiflux, these ducts must
be provided with an external vapour barrier as far as the ap-
pliance. If Ubbink synthetic (EPE) pipe is used here, additional
insulation is not necessary.
For optimum fan noise damping, it is recommended to use
Ubbink acoustic ducts with a length of 1 m between the
appliance and the ducts from and to the dwelling.

Installation must take place under:
• Quality requirements ventilation systems dwellings
• Quality requirements balanced ventilation in dwellings
• Regulations for ventilation of dwellings and residential buil-
dings
• The safety regulations for low-voltage installations
• The regulations for connection to interior sewers in dwel-
lings and residential buildings
• Any additional regulations of the local utilities
• The installation instructions for the Ubiflux W180
• The appliance must be placed level.
• The installation room must be such that a good conden-
sate discharge with air trap and pitch for condensate can
be made.
• The installation room must be frost-free.
• Make sure there is a free space of at least 70 cm at
the front of the appliance and a free headroom of
1.8 m.

Ø 20 mm
Pay attention to crosstalk and installation noise, also for incor-
porated ducts. Design the duct with separate branches to the
diffusers to prevent crosstalk. If necessary, the supply ducts
must be insulated, for instance when they are installed outside
the insulated envelope.
Preferably use Ubbink incorporated ducts. These ducts have
been developed with a view to a low duct resistance.
A duct diameter of 125 mm is required for the Ubiflux W180.
