Ducting OptionsÂ
The AprilAire 80-Pint Dehumidifier is installed as part of your central HVAC system. As your system runs, the dehumidifier pulls air in using the return ducts, dehumidifies it, and sends dry air back into your rooms. The system can also run independently as a standalone dehumidifier, dehumidifying air in a single space.
Common installation locations include an equipment room, closet, basement, or attic. Hanging installation is also possible. Two 10-inch duct collars are included for ducting air return and supply, and the supply duct can be installed in one of two locations on the unit for more flexibility in your space.
