Installing the flex duct to the ERV/HRV
TIP:  Honeywell recommends using approximately 16 inches of flexible duct (supplied in kit) between the
unit and the rigid duct for noise dampening. The flex duct is mounted to the unit the same way as the
insulated flex.
1. Insert the vinyl duct over the hooks on the
 duct collar and seal with a supplied 30 inch
 tie wrap.
2. Insert insulation inside the outer ring of the duct
 collar.
3. Finish by taping the duct on the collar.
4. Slide collar onto unit.
TIP:  Attach the flex duct to the collar first, and then
attach the collar to the unit.
5. Secure collar with the supplied 5/8 in.
 hex-head screws.
IMPORTANT:  Always fix and secure each collar using
four of the 5/8 in. screws supplied.
This step is critical in order to prevent
condensation accumulation.
