2.0 INSTALLATION
The RPc, GPc, XPc and XR Series Radon Fans can be mounted indoors
or outdoors. (It is suggested that EPA and radon mitigation standards
recommendations be followed in choosing the fan location.)
The GPc Radon Fans have an integrated mounting bracket;
RPc, XPc and XR Series Radon Fans may be mounted directly on the
system piping or fastened to a supporting structure by means of an
optional mounting bracket.
The ducting from the fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect
on noise and fan energy use. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing
possible for best performance, and avoid installing the fan with smaller
ducts than recommended. Insulation around the ducts can reduce energy
loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not
achieve their rated airow.
2.1 MOUNTING
Mount the RPc, GPc, XPc and XR Series Radon Fan vertically with outlet up.
Ensure the unit is plumb and level. When mounting directly on the system piping
assure that the fan does not contact any building surface to avoid vibration noise.
2.2 MOUNTING BRACKET (optional)
The RPc, XPc and XR Series Radon Fans may be optionally secured with the
RadonAway Fan Mounting Bracket (P/N 25007). Foam or rubber grommets may
also be used between the bracket and mounting surface for vibration isolation.
2.3 SYSTEM PIPING
Complete piping run, using exible couplings as a means of disconnect for
servicing the unit and for vibration isolation. As the fan is typically outside of the
building thermal boundary and is venting to the outside, installation of insulation
around the fan is not required.
2.4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Connect wiring with wire nuts provided, observing proper connections (See Section
1.9). Note that the fan is not intended for connection to rigid metal conduit.
2.5 VENT MUFFLER (optional)
Install the mufer assembly in the selected location in the outlet ducting. Solvent
weld all connections. The mufer is normally installed at the end of the vent pipe.

2.6 OPERATION CHECKS & ANNUAL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
______ Verify all connections are tight and leak-free.
______ Ensure the RPc, GPc, XPc and XR Series Radon Fan and all ducting are secure and vibration-free.
______ Verify system vacuum pressure with manometer. Ensure vacuum pressure is within normal
operating range and less than the maximum recommended operating pressure.
(Based on sea-level operation, at higher altitudes reduce by about 4% per 1000 feet)
(Further reduce Maximum Operating Pressure by 10% for High Temperature environments.)
See Product Specications. If this is exceeded, increase the number of suction points.
______ Verify Radon levels by testing to EPA Protocol and applicable testing standards.
