Product Manual

Install XCHANGER in accordance with BOCA national Mechanical Codes M-306.1 and M-306.1.1 as follows, (See Diagram A).

M-306.1 LOCATION: Outside air exhaust and intake openings shall be located a minimum of 10 feet (3048mm) from lot lines or build-

ings on the same lot. When openings front on a street or public way, the distance shall be measured to the centerline of the street or

public way.

M-306.1.1 INTAKE OPENINGS: Outside air intake openings shall be located a minimum of 10 feet (3048mm) from any hazard or

noxious contaminant such as vents, chimneys, plumbing vents, streets, alleys, parking lots and loading docks. When a source conta-

minant is located within 10 feet (3048mm) of an intake opening, such opening shall be located a minimum of 2 feet (610mm) below

the contaminant source.

IN ADDITION TO THESE CODES THE MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDS THAT:

• The XCHANGER hood should be a minimum of 1 foot above grade or anticipated snow line.

INSTALLATION (TOOLS REQUIRED)

• Reciprocating saw • 5/16” nut runner or socket • Siding tools (dependent on exterior finish)

• Drill and 1/2” bit • Phillips screwdriver • Level

INSTALLATION

NOTE: Before cutting opening through wall, confirm hood termination clearances are met as shown on page 3.

1. A) Center template and tape to the rim joist between the floor joists/trusses XCHANGER will be mounted through, (See

Diagram B).

B) If XCHANGER is not being installed between floor joists or trusses, attach the template to the wall it will be exiting, ensuring

XCHANGER will be level.

2. Using 1/2” bit, drill pilot holes noted on the template from inside through rim joist, wall board, siding, etc., keeping drill bit

perpendicular to the wall. 1/2” bit must be long enough to penetrate through exterior.

3. Use a level to mark (4) holes drilled in in step 2 and connect the holes on building exterior, (See Diagram C). Use a saw to remove

material between marks, (See Diagram D).
