Tools and Materials
Prepare the Blower (Remote Site)
NOTICE: The blower motor and the check valve must be relocated together. Do not relocate one
without the other.
NOTE: This bath can be installed as received or with the blower motor and check valve relocated to
another location. Refer to the appropriate sections throughout this manual for instructions related to your
particular installation. Read this section before relocating your blower.
Relocate the blower and check valve as close as possible to the bath to maximize performance. Do
not relocate the blower and check valve more than 15’ (4.5 m) from the bath.

blower motor discharge pointing up.

the installation does not reduce the fire rating of any walls. Piping must be supported at intervals
along the length in accordance with local codes.
Ensure that the blower motor location is clean and free of dust or debris.
Install an access panel for blower motor maintenance.

applicable electrical or building codes. Ensure that the installation does not reduce the fire rating of
