95 MAX Port Specifications
The 95 Max Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) has been
designed to allow the installer to choose between two
possible positions on the cabinet for the INDOOR
EXHAUST (return from building) port. Illustrations in this
manual show standard (side mounted) port location . The
same specifications apply to both 95 Max setups,
regardless of which port position is selected.
Variable Port Location / Installation (Model 95 Max only)
The exhaust return port collar is not factory installed.
Installer may choose either side mounted or alternate top
mounted port by simply removing one of the two knock-out
plates and attaching a port collar (supplied). To remove
knock-out plate, insert a utility knife into the knock-out
slits and trace them completely to puncture protective film
underneath. Then, cut the solid tabs between the slits, using
tin snips or side cutters, and remove the knock-out plate. If
any protective film still blocks the opening, remove it now.
In order to make the 95 Max as space efficient as
possible, the INDOOR supply and return ports are
converted from round to oval shape. Overall size of the
port remains the same. Simply bend a standard duct
fitting to the correct shape, and attach to the oval port
using the same method as for a round port.
95 MAX Air Flow
Stale air enters the FRONT RIGHT side port. The air will
pass down the front half of the core, then up the back half
of the core and out the RIGHT REAR port.
Fresh outdoor air will enter the LEFT REAR port and
pass down the back half of the core. It will then pass up
the front half of the core, and out the LEFT FRONT port.
This unique configuration allows the air to actually travel
through the core twice, making the 95 MAX almost as
efficient as a double core unit.
