1.0 SYSTEM DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of these instructions is to provide additional guidance for the most effective use of an RP / RPC Series
Fans. These instructions should be considered supplemental to EPA/radon industry standard practices, state and local
e precedence over
these instructions.
1.2 FAN SEALING
The RP / RPc Series Fans are factory sealed; no additional caulk or other materials are required to inhibit air leakage.
1.3 ENVIRONMENTALS
The RP / RPc Series Fans are designed to perform year-round in all but the harshest climates without additional
concern for temperature or weather. For installations in an area of severe cold weather, please contact RadonAway for
assistance. When not in operation, the fan should be stored in an area where the temperature is never less than
32 degrees F or more than 100 degrees F.
1.4 ACOUSTICS
The RP / RPc Series Fans, when installed properly, operate with little or no noticeable noise to the building occupants.
The velocity of the outgoing air should be considered in the overall system design. In some cases the “rushing” sound
of the outlet air may be disturbing. In these instances, the use of a R
[To ensure quiet operation of inline and remote fans, each fan shall be installed using sound attenuation techniques appropriate for the
supply grille(s) and the fan(s). RP / RPc Series Fans are not suitable for kitchen range hood remote ventilation applications.]
1.5 GROUND WATER
In the event that a temporary high water table results in water at or above slab level, water may be drawn into the
and off as the internal temperature rises above the thermal cutoff and falls upon shutoff. Should this condition arise, it
is recommended that the fan be turned off until the water recedes, allowing for return to normal operation.
1.6 SLAB COVERAGE
The RP / RPc Series Fans can provide coverage up to 2000+ sq. ft. per slab penetration. This will primarily depend
on the sub-slab material in any particular installation. In general, the tighter the material, the smaller the area covered
per penetration. Appropriate selection of the RP / RPc Series Fan best suited for the sub-slab material can improve the
slab coverage. The RP140/140c and RP145/145c are best suited for general purpose use. The RP260/260c can be
