Installing Drain Line - Units with defrost

Through normal operation and during its defrost mode, the ERV may produce some condensation.

This water should flow into a nearby drain, or be taken away by a condensate pump. The ERV and

all condensate lines must be installed in a space where the temperature is maintained above the

freezing point. A “P” trap should be made in the drain line. This will prevent odors from being

drawn back up into the unit.

the unit. Typically the ERV would be located in the mechanical room or an area close to the out-

side wall where the weatherhoods will be mounted.
