Installation
Key Installation Facts
1) To minimize noise propagation, install at least 6’ of 6” insulated flex between the universal
duct boot (connected to the floor register) and the BSF.
2) To further decrease noise propagation, 6’ of insulated flex can be used on the exhaust side of
the BSF. (Not Included)
3) Install the BSF as far away as possible from the Exhaust system (Wave or Humidex). If this
cannot be done, please use 6” Flex to pipe the BSF away from the exhaust system.
4) If the building codes in your area require a backdraft damper to be installed, it must be
placed on the exhaust side of the BSF to limit the impact on the total airflow thru the unit.
(Not Included)
5) This unit is typically sold with an Exhaust system (Humidex or Wave). If this is the case,
then this BSF system is made to replace your Replenishment vent required by the Exhaust
system.

Unit Operations
The Controls
The BSF system is equipped with a 3 position Switch. This switch is to select the maximum amount
of airflow to be brought down to your basement or crawlspace.

Ideally, the Booster fan speed should be matched with the speed utilized on your Humidex or Wave
Exhaust system.
E.g. if your Humidex or Wave Exhaust system is set to Medium, then the BSF system
should also be set to medium.
Note: In Cold basements, the BSF fan speed should start at low and be incremented slowly. This
will prevent any temperature shock that will also stop condensation from forming and humidity
from rising.
E.g. Basement is 60 °F, start the BSF system on Low and slowly bring it up to high after a
few days.
For any concerns or questions on how to set up your BSF properly, please contact our support line
at 1-888-533-1348.
