DUCTING TO HVAC SYSTEM – BASEMENT AND ATTIC INSTALLATIONS
The Preferred Installation is to duct the dehumidifier to pull air from and return dehumidified air to the HVAC return duct. This installation will
ensure warm, dehumidified air is thoroughly mixed with the HVAC system air before being discharged into the living space. Alternatively, the
dehumidifier can be ducted to discharge to the supply duct, but the external static pressure of the HVAC system must not exceed 0.4”w.c. for the
1830 and 0.6”w.c. for the 1850/1850W.
Required Component
10” Ductwork
Ducting Notes:
• Use insulated duct when the dehumidifier is located in an unconditioned space such as an attic or a garage.
• Use a minimum of 12” of flex duct at the dehumidifier inlet and outlet to prevent vibration noise transmission.
• When ducting return to return (preferred), the dehumidifier must be wired to turn on the HVAC fan when operating (see page 14).
• When ducting return to supply, allow adequate space before the first branch duct to ensure the warm dehumidified air is thoroughly mixed
with the HVAC system air.
