The furnace fan and/or HRV must operate  
continuously for Type 1 and Type 2 installations.  
If they do not operate continuously, then  
interlocking them electrically with the TFP is  
acceptable. Consult a certified electrician.

TYPE 2 INSTALLATION  
TFP Connected to Heat Recovery Ventilator  
Type 2 Installation  
LOCATION  
* “Breathing T” is designed to assist in neutralizing  
pressure differences which can occur between HRV  
and TFP when joined together.  
The TFP should be located in the main trunk of  
the fresh air to house line, after the Heat  
Recovery Ventilator (HRV) and before any branch  
lines. (Fig. 3)  
MOUNTING  
FLOOR JOISTS  
1. Locate mounting bolts (4) on side of TFP cabinet  
for vertical hanging (Fig. 3) and remove.  
Hanging straps (4)  
Mounting bolts  
2. Measure distance between the bolts and mark it  
on the floor/header joist where the TFP is to be hung.

DUCTING  
1. Install (2) 6” oval port collars (provided) on TFP  
cabinet with (8) 8/32” X 3/8” sheet metal screws  
provided (Fig. 3).  
CAUTION  
The room in which the “breathing T” is open  
should be free of combustion equipment such as  
gas hot water tanks and furnaces. If the “T”  
must be exposed in these areas, a pressure test  
(spillage or backdraft test) should be conducted  
on the combustion equipment after everything is  
installed.  
2. The ducting between the TFP and the HRV,  
and between the TFP and the main supply  
trunk line to the house, should be kept as  
straight as possible.  
3. A relief opening or breathing T is required to  
prevent pressure differences.  
4. A short piece (1-2 foot) of flexible ducting should  
be used on both sides of the TFP (Fig. 3).  
This will reduce vibration and noise transfer  
if present.  
NOTE: Please refer to the HRV installation manual  
for proper ducting of that appliance.

LOCATION  
1. A TFP is usually installed in a basement area  
where air flow noise will be negligible to the occu-  
pants.

Clean air supply  
High wall

Ducting  
not included  
6" port collars  
2. Ducting will usually consist of one return with grille  
from one side of the home, and one supply with  
grille at the opposite end of the home (Fig. 4).  
BASEMENT  
3. Ductwork should be no smaller than the size of the  
port collars (6”) on the TFP.  
Figure 4  
4. Ductwork should be kept as short and straight as  
possible to allow for good air circulation.  
NOTE: For installations of more than one return or  
supply (greater than .5 e.s.p.) , it is often necessary to  
add an inline fan to the system as a booster.  
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND ANNUAL CHECK-UP  
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
Turn the TFP, furnace fan and HRV off. Open the door  
and slide out the collectors to check buildup and do an  
annual inspection of overall unit. Before replacing any  
collectors, vacuum any dust inside the cabinet or sur-  
rounding area. When replacing the collectors, make  
sure the pleats are horizontal when sliding collec-  
tors back into the TFP. Close the door and restart  
TFP, furnace and HRV fan.  
A lighted ON/OFF switch indicates that the unit is  
operating. It is recommended the unit run continuously  
to provide the full benefits of particulate removal from  
your home.  
ANNUAL CHECK-UP  
As each home has differences of size, occupancy, loca-  
tion, infiltration rates and homeowner needs, it is hard to  
estimate when the collectors will need to be changed.  
When your TFP is installed with a forced air heating  
system you are still required to use the recommended  
furnace filter. This may be a good time to inspect this  
filter as well.  
Because of the way air moves through the TFP, the  
collectors are divided into 3 separate sections.  
Collectors 1 & 2, then 3 & 4 and then 5 & 6. Collectors  
1 & 2 will need to be replaced before the others, then  
3 & 4 and so on. You may want to change 1 & 2 again  
before 3 & 4 or 5 & 6.  
When new collectors are required, call your Lifebreath  
dealer.  
The collectors will slide out. Some discolouration of  
the collector medium can be expected and when loose  
dust falls from the collector, it is time to replace it.
