How to Install a Contractor Series Radon Fan

Contractor Series Fan Performance Data

RadonAway Contractor "C" Series Fan Installation

The Contractor Series ("C" Series) Radon Fan can be mounted indoors or outdoors.  It is suggested that EPA and radon mitigation standards recommendations be followed in choosing the fan location. They 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 airflow.

MOUNTING THE PRO SERIES RADON FAN
Mount the Contractor 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.

Mounting Bracket (Optional)
The Contractor Series Radon Fan 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.

SYSTEM PIPING
Complete piping run, using flexible 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.

CONDENSATION AND DRAINAGE
Condensation is formed 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 Contractor Series Radon Fan must be mounted vertically plumb and level, with the outlet pointing up for proper drainage through the fan. Avoid mounting the fan in any orientation that will allow water to accumulate inside the fan housing. The Contractor Series Radon Fan is not suitable for underground burial.  The following table provides the minimum recommended pipe diameter and pitch under several system conditions.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PRO SERIES FAN INSTALLER
Inspect the Contractor Series Radon Fan for shipping damage within 15 days of receipt. Notify RadonAway of any damages immediately. RadonAway is not responsible for damages incurred during shipping. However, for your benefit, RadonAway does insure shipments. There are no user serviceable parts inside the fan. Do not attempt to open the housing. Return unit to factory.

Install the Contractor Series Radon Fan in accordance with all EPA, ANSI/AARST standard practices, and state and local building codes and regulations. Provide a copy of this instruction or comparable radon system and testing information to the building occupants after completing system installation.

ELECTRICAL WIRING
Warning: Do not connect power supply until fan is completely installed. Make sure electrical service to fan is locked in "off" position. Disconnect power before servicing fan.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The Contractor Series Radon Fan operates on standard 120V, 60Hz AC. All wiring must be performed in accordance with National Fire Protection (NFPA) National Electrical Code, Standard #70, current edition, for all commercial and industrial work, and state and local building codes. All wiring must be performed by a qualified and licensed electrician. Outdoor installations require the use of a UL Listed watertight conduit. Ensure that all exterior electrical boxes are outdoor rated and properly sealed to prevent water penetration into the box. A means, such as a weep hole, is recommended to drain the box.
