DUCTWORK CONNECTIONS
Examples of good and poor fan-to-duct connections are shown below . Airflow out of the fan should be directed
straight or curve the same direction as the fan wheel rotates . Poor duct installation will result in low airflow and
other system effects .
Rail Layout
• Rails designed to handle the weight of the HRE should be
positioned as shown on the diagram (rails by others) .
• Make sure that rail positioning does not interfere with the supply
air discharge opening or the exhaust air intake opening on the
HRE unit . Avoid area dimensioned “B” below
• Rails should run the width of the unit and extend beyond the unit
a minimum of 12 inches on each side .
• Set unit on rails.
