6. The fan may have sharp edges. Use caution to avoid being cut when installing and cleaning.

7. This fan must be grounded.

CAUTION!

1. For general ventilation use only. Not for use in fire rated installations. Do not use the fan to exhaust hazardous or

explosive materials and vapors.

2. For interior use only. Mount with the lowest moving parts at least 8 feet (2.5 meters) above the floor or grade level.

3. To avoid the motor damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impeller, keep drywall spray, construction duct, etc.

Please follow guidelines in this manual for product problem-free operation.

The VENTS VKP PS Series dryer booster fan has been

specially designed to solve dryer vent problems where

more airflow is needed.

The VENTS VKP PS dryer booster fans assure efficient and

reliable operation. The pre-installed pressure switch

allows the VKP PS fan to run only when it senses that the

dryer is on. The controller cycles the fan until the dryer has

stopped. The fans are fitted with backward curved

centrifugal impeller, which allows lint not to get stuck in

the fan. The VENTS VKP PS fans are driven by powerful

sealed external rotor motor with lifelong bearings and

thermal protection. This powerful combination enables

the VENTS VKP PS fans to deliver exceptional airflow

performances even in long duct runs. The fan’s housing is

made of galvanized steel. The external rotor motor on ball

bearings and the backward curved, balanced impeller is

suitable for high pressure application, prevent vibration

and assure quiet operation.

Each set contains:

1. Fan - 1 pc;

2. Manual;

3. Packing box.

Specification:

Voltage: 120 V, 60 Hz

Motor: Single-phase external rotor motor with

backward curvedcentrifugal impellers

Typical installation

Different variants of wall and ceiling mounting of vertical and horizontal fans are shown on Pic. 1-2.

Lint Trap

VKP PS

Install a lint trap between the clothes dryer and the fan to increase the service life and maintenance periodicity of VKP PS. Clean the lint

trap as required.

Typical installation

Fan installation

The process of fan mounting with the use of a bracket

together with four screws and dowels is shown on Pic. 4-8.

Fan installation

The process of ventilation stack attachment is shown on Pic. 9-10.

Air flow direction should match the direction of an arrowhead placed on the fan case.

To ensure quiet operation of ENERGY STAR qualified in-line fans, each fan shall be installed using sound attenuation techniques

appropriate for the installation. Insulated flexible type duct work (recommended for all bathroom exhaust applications) will result in

quieter operation. We recommend minimum 8" of insulated flexible duct between any exhaust grill and fan for low noise level. Flexible

duct should be connected to the fan with hose clamps (VENTS C series is recommended), Aluminum Foil Tape or both. All connections

should be as airtight as possible to maximize system performance and eliminate air leakage. When using flexible type duct work, duct

should as tight and straight as possible. In case you intend to use non-flexible ducts we recommend to install flexible connectors (VENTS

VVG series is highly recommended) which are designed to exclude the vibration transmission from fans to air duct. Remove any

insulation from the area where you will be mounting the fan. Insulation should never be installed over any part of an exhaust fan. Keep

the insulation at least 3" away from the fan casing.
