INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
RADON FAN MODEL: RDKO4, RDK04-3, RDN04 & RDN04-3
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION
PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Do not use fan in hazardous environments where the fan electrical system could provide ignition to
combustible or flammable materials.
2. Do not use fan to exhaust explosive or corrosive gases.
3. Check voltage at the fan to insure it corresponds with product nameplate.
4. Normal operation of this device may affect the supply of fresh air needed for safe operation of fuel
burning equipment. Follow safety standards, codes, and heating equipment manufacturer’s
procedures guide lines.
5. There are no user serviceable parts located inside the fan unit. Do NOT attempt to open (this will void
manufacturer’s warranty). Return unit to the factory with original purchase receipt for service after
obtaining a Return Goods Authorization (RGA).
6. All wiring must be in accordance with local and national electrical codes. When installed outside,
power must be supplied from a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter).
7. Operate unit only in the manner intended. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.
8. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock service panel to prevent
power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked,
securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag to the service panel.
9. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
10. This unit has an unguarded impeller. Do not use in locations where the impeller is readily accessible
to people or animals.

INSTALLATION
Retain original packaging.
The fan can be mounted indoors or outdoors. (It is suggested that EPA recommendations be followed in
choosing the fan location.) The fan may be mounted directly to the system piping or fastened to a
supporting structure by means of mounting brackets provided.

MOUNTING
Mount the fan vertically with the outlet up. Insure the unit is plumb and level. When mounting directly to
the system piping ensure that the fan does not contact any building surface to avoid vibration noise. Use
the flexible couplers provided to secure the fan to the piping.
MOUNTING BRACKET
The fan may be further secured with the mounting brackets provided.
The flexible couplings will provide means of disconnect for cleaning the impeller and also to isolate
vibration.
OPTIONAL SUMP PIT INSTALLATION
In homes with a sump pit, a sump pit
cover, or dome, can be mounted and
sealed over the sump pit opening. Fittings
in the sump pit cover are used to attach
the pipes for water and radon gas
discharge. All gaps in the cover should be
sealed air tight.

ELECTRICAL WIRING
The fans operate on standard 120VAC 60Hz. All wiring must be performed in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and state and local building codes. A qualified electrician should perform all
electrical work. Outdoor installations require the use of UL Listed watertight conduit and power supplied
from a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter).
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Connect wiring with terminal block provided, observing proper connections.
CONDENSATION & DRAINAGE
Condensation can form in the piping of a mitigation system when the air in the piping is chilled below its
dew point. This can occur at points where the system piping goes through unheated space such as an
attic, garage or outside. The system design must provide a means for water to drain back to a slab hole
to remove the condensation. The fan MUST be mounted vertically plumb and level, with the outlet
pointing up for proper drainage through the fan. Avoid mounting the fans in any orientation that will
allow water to accumulate inside the fan housing. The fans are NOT suitable for underground burial.
A condensate bypass should be installed in the outlet ducting as shown below. This is particularly true
in cold climate installations, which require long lengths of outlet ducting or when the outlet ducting is
likely to produce large amounts of condensation because of high soil moisture or outlet duct material.
Schedule 20 piping and other thin-walled plastic ducting or
aluminum downspout piping will normally produce much more condensation than Schedule 40 piping.

WIRING SCHEMATIC
“SYSTEM ON” INDICATOR
Install a “system on” indicator to confirm status. A pressure indicator, manometer, or vacuum alarm is
recommended for this purpose. The Suncourt Air Pressure Indicator is included with models RDK04
and RDK04-3.
SLAB COVERAGE
The Suncourt Radon Fan provides coverage up to 2000 sq. ft. per slab penetration depending on type
of sub slab material. If one slab penetration does not sufficiently mitigate the Radon then additional
slab penetration points can be added as required.
Detailed Radon information is available on the EPA’s website at: http://www.epa.gov/radon/
The bypass is constructed with a 45 degree
Wye fitting at the bottom of the outlet stack.
The bottom of the Wye is capped and fitted
with a tube that connects to the inlet piping.
The condensation produced in the outlet stack is collected in the Wye fitting and drained through the
bypass tube. The bypass tubing may be insulated to prevent freezing.
MAINTENANCE
Inspect the product at least once every 12 months for excessive dust and dirt build up on the impeller
(more often in dusty environments). Clean as necessary. The unit must be disconnected from power
during inspection and/or cleaning.
Failure to install a proper condensate collection system voids the product warranty.
