FINISHED WALL - Z PIECE
CRAWL SPACE INSTALLATION
FOR FINISHED BASEMENTS
The “Z” Piece is used to move the base of the EZ Breathe unit away
from the wall. Because the chute is 14" wide and 2" deep it can be
placed between studs and finished over, making the finished space more
usable and improve the appearance of the installation.
Install the “Z” Piece onto the base with 2 screws on each end, then lift
the telescoping chute and place it over the top end of the Z Piece.
Installation of the “Z” piece can be performed at the time of unit
installation or added later when the space is being finished.
1. Decide location by determining the source of replacement air.
2. Locate unit as far from the replacement air source as possible, this
may be a floor vent to the upstairs. Close off all other vents to the
outside.
It is very important
to seal off the crawl space from all air
circulation with the sole exception of the replacement air source.
3. In crawl spaces with dirt floors, cover the floor with 6 mil plastic
(overlapping sheets at least 6" and seal the seams). Cover the entire
area, and turn the plastic up the walls by at least 6" and seal.
4. Take a measurement from exhaust location to floor to determine
proper height of crawl space chute.
5. Refer to installation instructions on Page 5.
