DUCTING
All duct and duct termination
construction/location must comply
with local and national building
codes. The PV-DEDPV comes with (2)
8” long, 4” diameter duct cleanout
sections and (4) band clamps. Ensure
the duct system is designed for
these components for planning and
maintenance purposes.
Determine the total length of duct by
adding all of the straight pieces of
duct together (this includes all duct
between the dryer exhaust outlet and
the dryer vent cap). Then add 5 feet
for every 90 degree elbow/bend,
2.5 feet for every 45 degree elbow/
bend, and 5 feet for the dryer vent
cap to determine the total equivalent
duct length.
Example: The dryer exhaust system
consists of 50 feet of straight duct, 2
90 degree elbows, and 1 dryer vent cap.
50 feet of straight duct + [5 feet x 2 elbows (90 deg) = 10 equivalent feet] + 5 feet
for the dryer vent cap = 65 feet, total equivalent duct length

Ensure the total equivalent duct length is within the minimum and maximum allowable
values below.
•MINIMUM allowable equivalent duct length: 30 feet (9.14 meters)
•MAXIMUM allowable equivalent duct length: 120 ft (36.58 meters)
•Do NOT install the DEDPV less than 5 linear ft (1.52 linear meters) or more than 40
linear feet (12.2 linear meters) from clothes dryer exhaust outlet.
•A secondary lint trap MUST be installed between the clothes dryer and the DEDPV if
the DEDPV is located less than 15 linear feet (4.6 linear meters) from the clothes dryer
exhaust outlet.
•A secondary lint trap SHOULD be installed between the clothes dryer and the DEDPV
if the DEDPV is located less than 25 linear feet (7.6 linear meters) from the clothes
dryer exhaust outlet.
S&P recommends round 4” rigid duct for best air performance and code compliance.
Keep the length of duct and number of elbows to a minimum for best air performance.
Duct connections and penetrations should be sealed with duct tape, duct fast-clamps,
or caulk (available through your local distributor) to create an air-tight path from the
clothes dryer to the building exterior.
Connect the duct to the fan with the provided band clamps and rated tape as necessary.
Do NOT use screws to connect the duct and fan. Ensure that the outlet duct is properly
connected to a properly sized, low restriction dryer vent cap with weather hood and
backdraft damper. Dryer vent caps shall NOT include a screen as this will cause lint
buildup and fan blockage.
Drill a 3/8” hole in the duct adjacent to the fan (4-5”) between the fan inlet and the
clothes dryer. Insert the provided grommet taking care to avoid burrs. Connect one end
of the 1/4" OD clear tubing to the pressure sensor on the fan housing and insert the other
end into the grommet.

OPERATION
The PV-DEDPV is a pressure sensing fan and operates automatically once positive pressure
(0.08” w.g. from the clothes dryer) is sensed for more than 10 seconds. Once activated,
the DEDPV will continue operating until positive pressure from the clothes dryer is no
longer present. The DEDPV will then continue operating for 5 minutes in a “cool down”
period. The ventilator includes a “one shot” thermal fuse (196 F, 91 C) located inside the
fan to immediately shut off power to the motor in case of a dryer fire. The PV-DEDPV is
equipped with a low voltage LED indicator light panel. This panel indicates whether the
fan is operating correctly. Ensure that the panel is connected to the fan PCB with the 50’
of communication wire provided. See table below for fan operation indicators. If further
assistance is required, please contact our Support Services department.
WARNING: A flashing red light or no light indicates failure of the DEDPV. Immediately
stop using clothes dryer until DEDPV has been serviced, repaired or replaced. A constantly
illuminated green light indicates normal DEDPV operation.
Mount the LED indicator light panel in the 2 gang wall plate provided and mount the wall
plate so that it can be seen in the dryer area (refer to page 5-7 for mounting location
requirements). Ensure the wiring connections are correct. The panel can be mounted
directly to the wall. Ensure that the WARNING label is applied to the open area on the
wall plate.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE OR SERVICING, ENSURE THE
UNIT IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAIN ELECTRICAL SUPPLY.
All PV-DEDPV fans incorporate sealed for life bearings and therefore do not require any
lubrication. S&P recommends inspection of the fan at least once every six (6) months
to avoid excessive accumulation of lint, duct, or dirt on the impeller, but this can vary
depending on clothes dryer usage. To inspect and maintain/clean the unit disconnect
from the electrical supply. Loosen the band clamps and remove the fan from the duct.
Compressed air or a vacuum can be used to remove any lint buildup from the fan. If any
debris is evident on the impeller clean with a damp (not wet) cloth. DO NOT USE any
detergents or abrasive materials for cleaning. Reinstall the fan and tighten the band
clamps, ensuring the fan is properly oriented and the duct connections are sealed.
