Drain Connection - 130 ERVD & 170 ERVD
Installation Notes
The 130ERVD and 170ERVD cabinet has pre-punched holes for the drain (see below).
The 130ERVD and 170 ERVD 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.
Insert the drain spout through the hole in the drain pan.
2. Tighten the nut which holds the drain spout in place.
3. Construct a P-trap using the plastic tee connector. (see below)
4. Cut two lengths of 1/2 in drain hose (not included) and connect the other ends to the two drain spouts.
5. Position the tee connector to point upward and connect the drain line.
6. Tape or fasten base to avoid any kinks.
7.
Pour a cup of water into the drain pan of the ERV 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 ERV.

Caution
A drain is required. However in climates where the outdoor temperature remains above -25°C (-13°F)
combined with an indoor humidity less than 30%, the use of a drain is optional.
The ERV and all condensate lines must be installed in a space where the temperature is maintained above the freezing
point or freeze protection must be provided.
Drain trap and tubing must be below bottom of door with 1/4 in per foot downwards slope away from unit.
A secondary drain pan may be required to protect from condensate leakage.
