3.0 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
Installation must be carried out by competent personnel in accordance with the appropriate authority and conforming to all statutory governing regulations. All mains wiring must be in accordance with the current I.E.E. Regulations, or the appropriate standards. Ensure that the mains supply (Voltage, Frequency and Phase) complies with the rating label.
Allow a minimum of 360m in front of the MRXBOXAB-ECO3.
The fan must be installed indoors, on a suitable wall away from direct sources of frost, heat and water spray or moisture generation. For a vibration-free result the unit must be mounted to a solid wall.
The unit must remain switched on at all times to maintain ventilation within the dwelling. Turning the unit off will cause long term damage to the unit and building fabric.
3.1 Transport Fixings
To prevent damage during transportation the product is shipped with securing fixings, these can be found front and centre of the enclosure top panel (Figure 3). These must be removed before use, failure to do so will result in excessive vibration and noise. The screws removed can be discarded and replaced with rubber caps provided.

3.2 Wall Mounting
The unit is designed for wall mounting on a solid wall only, a gypsum block/plasterboard wall will not suffice.
Examples of suitable installation are shown overleaf. The wall brackets supplied should be secured to the wall using suitable fixings (supplied by others) as per the dimensions given in figure 4. The head of the chosen fixing should protrude no more than 8mm from the wall bracket. The enclosure assembly can then be lifted using suitable equipment and moved into position so it is sitting directly on the wall brackets (ensuring the rear panel of the enclosure is not in contact with the wall bracket fixings). The enclosure can be secured to the wall brackets using the 4x M8 fixings supplied.
No part of enclosure should be in contact with the building structure, the only components that should be in contact are the wall mounting brackets.
Care must be taken to ensure the unit is installed true in all 3 dimensions. Failure to do so may result in overflow from the internal condensation drip tray.

3.2.2 Option 2 - Non-Solid Wall
If it is not practical to use a solid wall, the MVHR unit should be fixed to a stud partition with a 25mm minimum thickness MDF panel solidly fixed behind the plasterboard.
If fixing to a stud wall the MDF panel should extend, width wise, over a minimum of 3 vertical studs with centres of no more than 400mm. Add additional vertical supports if necessary.
Height wise, ideally, the MDF panel should extend from floor to ceiling but as a minimum should be a least 2m high.
Fix the mounting bracket to the wall (Figure 3) and use the wall mounted bracket to mount the unit on (Figure 5).
6 Non-Solid Wall Mounted Unit Installation
The condensate must be discharged under a water level in a U-trap drainpipe or an alternative drain method which acts as an airlock. This condensate discharge connection is suitable for 21.5mm Ø overflow pipe. Solvent cement should be used to make the joint.
If using a U-trap please ensure the U-trap has been filled to a suitable level of water to avoid any air locks. If the condensation pipe is fitted in an unheated space the pipe should be in insulated to prevent freezing.
An MVHR-DRAIN is recommended for use as the primary condensate take-off (Figures 8 and 9).

When using a “T” Piece to connect the CONTRAP drainage and the MVHR drain pipework the MVHR drain must always be fitted before the “T” Piece to prevent condensate from feeding back into the MVHR system.
3.4 Extract / Input Areas
The unit is designed to extract air from all wet rooms e.g. bathroom, kitchen, en-suite, utility room (with sink). WC’s do not need to be ventilated if openable windows are fitted.
Supply air should be to all habitable rooms e.g. bedrooms and lounge.
Extract / input grilles should be adjustable valve types (not supplied).
External grilles are to have a minimum free area of 12,250 sq. mm.
3.5 Ducting
Before commencing ducting installation reference should be made to building regulations document “Domestic ventilation compliance guide”. This document supports ADF2010 and details installation, testing and commissioning of all ventilation systems.
It is recommended that rigid ducting be used at all times. Flexible ducting has a very high resistance and it is impossible to calculate how much resistance will be on a system if used.
If used the flexible ducting must be kept to a minimum and should always be pulled taut. A maximum of 300mm should be used on each leg.
To prevent condensation on the outside of the outside air inlet duct and the air outlet duct from the unit, these ducts should be insulated.
Ducting must be installed in such a way that resistance to airflow is minimised. Bends should be kept to a minimum.
A minimum distance of 300mm between the appliance and any bends in ductwork is recommended.
Ideally 150mm diameter or 204 x 60mm rectangular ducting should be used (Figures 12 & 13).
Ducting joints must be sealed with silicone type sealant and shall be adequately and reliably fixed to the appliance.

ADF 2010 - Extract Ventilation Rates
Minimum High rate Minimum Low Rate
13 l/s
8 l/s
8 l/s
6 l/s
Total extract rate should be at least the whole dwelling ventilation rate given in table 2.
Notes:
1. In addition, the minimum ventilation rate should be no less than 0.3 l/s per m² of internal floor area. (This includes all floors, e.g. for a twostory building add the ground and first floor areas).
2. This is based on two occupants in the main bedroom and a single occupant in all other bedrooms. This should be used as the default value. If a greater level of occupancy is expected add 4 l/s per occupant.
Any air intake terminal must be installed in accordance with the appropriate regulation. As a guide, the BS5440 series of British
Standards deals with this issue and currently states that an air intake must be at a minimum distance of 300mm from a gas boiler balanced flue. Installers are advised to be aware of the requirements of this standard when installing ‘through the wall’ supply air ducting.
3.7 ADF 2010 Ventilation Calculations Design of MVHR
Systems
The MVHR system has been sized for the winter period. Additional ventilation may be required during the warmer months and it has been assumed that the provisions for purge ventilation (e.g. openable windows) could be used.
Step 1: For any design air permeability, determine the whole dwelling ventilation supply rate from Whole Dwelling Ventilation Rates table.
As an alternative where the design air permeability is intended to be more than (>) 5m3/(h.m2) 50 Pa, allow for infiltration for all dwelling types by subtracting from the whole dwelling ventilation supply rate from Whole Dwelling Ventilation Rates table; 0.04 x gross internal volume of the dwelling heated space (m3).
Step 2: Calculate the whole dwelling extract ventilation rate by summing the individual room rates for ‘minimum high rate’ from ADF
2010 - Extract Ventilation Rates table.
(For sanitary accommodation only, as an alternative, the purge ventilation provisions given in ADF 2010 can be used where security is not an issue. In this case ‘minimum high extract rate’ for the sanitary accommodation should be omitted from the step 2 calculation).
Step 3: The required airflow rates are as follows:
• The maximum whole dwelling extract ventilation rate (e.g. boost) should be at least the greater of step 1 and step 2. Note that the maximum individual room extract rate should be at least those given in ADF 2010 - Extract Ventilation Rates table.
• The minimum air supply rate should be at least the whole building ventilation rate found in step 1.
For Scotland refer to BRE Digest 398.

3.7.1 Pre Commissioning MRXBOX MVHR Units
MRXBOX units are designed to ventilate the whole dwelling and must not be used during site construction or the clean-up period. Cement and plaster dust can be abrasive and can affect fan performance and reliability. Please ensure that the filters are checked prior to commissioning to ensure there is no build-up of dust or debris.
While the property is drying out, very high moisture levels are likely to occur. Therefore it is advisable that if the installation and building works are complete the unit is left running. If the building works are not complete please close the air valves or cover up the air valves to prevent condensation forming in the ductwork and the MRXBOX unit due to natural migration of warm air.
