Product Description

The RESEARCH PRODUCTS 8145 is a fresh air ventilator designed to deliver a controlled supply of outdoor air into modern, tightly sealed residential homes. Featuring an integrated powered damper and a MERV 6 washable filter, the unit provides up to 250 CFM of airflow capacity while filtering incoming air before it enters the living space. The ventilator operates on 120 volts, 60 Hz, single-phase power and draws between 50 and 53 watts. The powered damper is removable for service, and integrated controls allow hardwired installation directly into the home's HVAC system. Licensed HVAC technicians handle installation of this type of equipment.

The 8145 is suited for residential applications in homes up to 7,500 square feet. It is designed for ceiling or wall mounting and connects to 6-inch round ductwork. The unit is built from polycarbonate and is finished in gray, fitting standard mechanical room or utility space installations. It is rated for operating temperatures of 85 to 105 degrees F and a humidity range of 45 to 70 percent, making it appropriate for a wide range of climate conditions found in typical residential construction.
