Make a water trap loop in the tube

to prevent the unit from drawing

unpleasant odors from the drain

source. Make sure this loop is located

BELOW the “T” as shown. This will

prevent water from being drawn

back up into the unit in case of

negative pressure. Run the tube to

the floor drain or to an alternative

drain pipe or pail. Be sure there is a

slight slope for the run-off.

5.6 INSTALLING THE EXTERIOR HOODS

Choose an appropriate location for installing the exterior hoods:

• At a minimum distance of 6 feet (1.8 m) between the hoods to

avoid cross-contamination

• At a minimum distance of 18 inches (457 mm) from the ground

Refer to figure 15 for connecting the insulated duct to the hoods.

Place the “FRESH AIR INTAKE” sticker, provided in the installation

kit, on corresponding hood. An “Anti-Gust Intake Hood” should be

installed in regions where a lot of snow is expected to fall.

CAUTION

All models require an exhaust hood with a backdraft damper. This damper closes when the unit is off and

prevents unwanted cold air from entering the house.

5. Installation (cont’d)

Attach the 2 plastic drain fittings to

the unit using the gaskets, washers

and nuts as shown.

Cut 2 sections of plastic tubing,

about 12” (305 mm) long and attach

them to each drain fitting. Join the 2

short sections to the “T” junction and

main tube as shown.

If using a pail to collect water, locate the tube

end approximately 1” from the top of the pail in

order to prevent water from being drawn back

up into the unit.

WARNING

Make sure the intake hood is at least 6 feet (1.8 m) away

from any of the following:

• Dryer exhaust, high efficiency furnace vent,

central vacuum vent

• Gas meter exhaust, gas barbecue-grill

• Any exhaust from a combustion source

• Garbage bin and any other source of contamination
