Considerations

1. Compost will be removed from the finishing drawer. Ensure that there is at least 15” in front of the

CENTREX 1000, so that the drawer may be removed from the unit.

2. The safety drain is required in all installations. Install the unit in a location where the safety drain

can be connected. This drain exits from the left side of the unit and must slope downward at all

points.

3. Install in a location where the vent pipe can be attached as per the instructions listed below.

4. Install in a location that is not air tight. The toilet must be able to vent to ensure odor free operation.

5. Ensure that the CENTREX 1000 is accessible for ongoing maintenance.

6. Ensure that the installation area is a minimum height of 28”. DIGGING BELOW GROUND TO

FACILITATE THE INSTALLATION OF THE CENTREX 1000, IS NOT RECOMMENDED.

7. Ensure the CENTREX 1000 is protected from precipitation.

8. Ensure that the unit is installed on a level surface or sloping slightly towards the safety drain.

1. If running a vent through a wall, it should be done at a 45° angle to prevent condensation from

accumulating in the vent pipe, causing a constriction. NO HORIZONTAL SECTIONS OF VENT.

Venting should be installed vertically.

2. All vent pipe that is exposed to the outside or in a non-heated space should be insulated if

using the unit during cold weather.

3. INSTALL VENT SO THAT IT TERMINATES 24” - 30” ABOVE HIGHEST PEAK OF THE ROOF.

4. If you will be installing venting on a steeply pitched roof where snow shear may occur; Install a

heavier pipe through the roof and feed the enclosed vent through the heavier pipe. Seal

between the pipes with expandable foam or other such water-tight substance. The heavier pipe

should be able to withstand the weight of sliding snow.

5. If there is more than 36” of vent needed above the roof line to reach 24-30” above the highest

peak of the roof (diffusor included in measurement), use guy wires to secure the vent above

the roof.

6. Limit bends in the vent stack to no more than 4 that have a combined total of 180 °.

7. The vent must be installed separately from ALL other household vents. Venting cannot be

merged with other venting. Doing so will prevent the unit from operating odorlessly.

8. All connectors in the vent pipe should be sealed. Use silicone caulking to seal the connection

between the vent and the fan. PVC cement may be used on all other vent connections.

9. The diffusor should be glued vertically on to the top of the vent pipe. This assembly helps draw air

up the vent pipe.

Possible venting configurations for the 2” electric vent pipe.

The fan will run continuously 24 hours per day. A ground fault interrupter (GFI) circuit is recommended

for any unit installed in an environment where it will be exposed to moisture. This may be installed

directly on the wall socket or at the circuit breaker. If you are in an area where you experience power

fluctuations, you may wish to install a surge protector.

Some 230V models may have an over current fuse protection on the heating element circuit which is

located on the electric box.

Installation Common To Electric Or NE Units Leading the vent through the roof Leading the vent through the wall The vent stack (shown in diagram) should end approximately 30” above the peak of the roof so that it is less subject to downdraft. Where the pipe is taken through the roof, a roof flashing may be required to seal the installation. If you are in an area where snow shear is a danger, you may wish to install a heavier pipe around the vent pipe where it exits from the roof.

Installing the waste pipe When installing the waste pipe from the toilet to the unit, the following should be considered:1. The pipe should be either 45 ° or vertical (if composting unit is directly below toilet), or at a 2-3 ° angle (1/8”-1/4” or 3-13mm drop per foot maximum) so that the waste travels with the liquid. 2. Pipe should not slope upwards at any point. 3. Connections should be snug so that waste does not cause blockage. 4.
