2.0 INSTALLATION
The RPc, GPc, XPc and XR Series 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 fans
have an integrated mounting bracket; RPc, XPc and XR Series 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 airow.
2.1 MOUNTING
Mount the RPc, GPc, XPc and XR Series Fan vertically with outlet up. Insure 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 Fans may be optionally secured with the RadonAway
P/N 25007 mounting bracket. 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 mufer assembly in the selected location in the outlet ducting. Solvent
weld all connections. The mufer 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 Fan and all ducting are secure and vibration-free.
______ Verify system vacuum pressure with manometer. Insure 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 Specications. If this is exceeded, increase the number of suction points.
______ Verify Radon levels by testing to EPA Protocol and applicable testing standards.
