3 Push the hood into

the opening. Attach
the hood to the
outside wall with
mounting screws.
Repeat the
installation procedure
for both the Supply
and Exhaust hood.

2 Pull the insulated

flexible duct through
the opening until it is
well extended and
straight. Slide the
duct’s inner vinyl
sleeve over the hood
collar and secure, pull
the insulation over
the duct and then the
vapor barrier over the
sleeve   and secure
with duct tape.

4 Using a caulking

gun, seal around
both hoods to
prevent any
leaks.

1 Using the collar of

the outside hood,
outline the intake &
exhaust holes to be
cut. The holes should
be slightly larger
than the collar to
allow for the 
thickness of the 
insulated flexible
duct. Cut a hole 
for both the intake
and exhaust hoods.

•Decide where your intake and 

exhaust hoods will be located.

PRACTICAL
TIPS

A well designed and installed ducting system will allow the HRV to operate at its maximum efficiency.
Always try to keep duct runs as short and straight as possible. 
See Installation Diagrams for installation examples.

The inner liner  of the flexible insulated duct

must be clamped to the sleeve of the weath-

erhoods (as close to the outside as possible)

and to the appropriate port on the HRV. The

insulation should remain full and not be

squished. The outer liner, which acts as a

vapor barrier must be completely sealed to

outer wall and the HRV using tape and or

caulking.  A good bead of high quality caulk-

ing (preferably acoustical sealant) will seal

the inner flexible duct to both the HRV port

and the weatherhood prior to clamping.
To minimize air flow restriction, the flexible
insulated duct that connects the two outside
weatherhoods to the HRV should be
stretched tightly and be as short as possible.
Twisting of folding the duct will severely
restrict air flow.

• Should be located upstream

(if there are prevailing winds)
from the exhaust outlet

• At least 4' - 6’ (2m) from the 

exhaust weatherhood

• At least 6’ (2m) away from

dryer vents and furnace
exhaust ( medium or high effi-
ciency furnaces)

• A minimum of at least 6’ (2m)

from driveways, oil fill pipes,
gas meters, or garbage con-
tainers

• At least 18” (457mm) above 

the ground, or above the
depth of expected snow accu-
mulation 

• At least 3’ (1m) from the cor-

ner of the building 

• Do not locate in a garage,

attic or crawl space

• At least 4' - 6’ (1m - 2m)

from the ventilation air intake

• At least 18” (457mm) above 

ground or above the depth of 
expected snow accumulation 

• At least 3’ (1m) away from

the corner of the building 

• Not near a gas meter, electric

meter or a walkway where fog
or ice could create a hazard

• Not into a garage, workshop

or other unheated space

When installing the weather-
hood, it’s  outside perimeter
must be sealed with exterior
caulking.
