Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation
- Measure your current furnace duct opening to ensure a flush fit for the 18x20 inch unit.
- Ensure all plumbing connections are sealed using high-temperature thread sealant.
- Verify the direction of water flow to match the inlet and outlet ports for maximum efficiency.
- Secure the unit using vibration-dampening mounts to prevent noise transmission into the ductwork.
Compatibility
This unit is compatible with most standard residential boiler systems and outdoor wood furnaces. It is designed for water or glycol-based fluids. Always verify that your current HVAC blower motor can handle the static pressure drop introduced by the additional fins.
Care
Periodically inspect the aluminum fins for dust or debris buildup, as this can significantly reduce heat transfer. Use compressed air or a soft brush to clean the fins annually to maintain peak performance.
