2. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
WARNING: RISK OF FIRE AND BURNS. DO NOT
install PVI-SLP with the access panel facing upward.
Overheating may occur.
NOTICE: Installation of the PVI-SLP in an attic is not
recommended in regions where temperatures reach 0°F
(-18°C) and relative humidity exceeds 60% simultaneously.
Low temperatures and high moisture content may cause
the PVI-SLP to freeze.
a. If the PVI-SLP is being installed in a confi ned space
(such as a utility closet, mechanical room or attic space)
with a total volume less than 250 cubic feet, an access
hole with minimum dimensions of 8 inches by 16 inches
will be required directly in front of the access panel.
The recommended access hole size is 12 inches by 17
inches. This size will allow full access to the 11 inch x
16 inch access panel on the PVI-SLP. See Figure 3.1.
The confi ned space where the PVI is installed, and the
space to which the access hole opens, must add up to
at least 250 cubic feet. This hole may be covered with
a decorative cover as long as the cover has a minimum
of 50% open air. If the PVI-SLP is being installed in a
space greater than 250 cubic feet the access hole is still
required, but a solid cover may be used. This also applies
to a fi replace chase.
The decorative cover CANNOT be located on an outside
wall that is open to the environment.
b. For installations near loose-fi ll insulation (such as attics)
a minimum clearance of six inches must be maintained
between the access panel and the insulation.
c. The PVI-SLP CANNOT be installed with the access
panel facing upward.
d. The exit termination of mechanical draft systems shall
not be less than seven feet above grade when located
adjacent to public walkways.
e. A mechanical drafting venting system shall terminate at least
three feet above any forced air inlet located within 10 feet.

NOTICE: The blower motors present in this powervent
will generate sound during operation. The effects of the
increased sound level can be minimized with careful
planning during installation of the system. Locating the
powervent service access grill in an area remote of im-
mediate living space will reduce the effects of the added
sound generated during operation.
