IW25 Dehumidifier Installation

Ideal Location: Below HVAC Return Air Grill

The In Wall or On Wall dehumidifier should be installed in a central location of the home. If possible, place it below (or near) an HVAC return air grill, which will help distribute the treated air throughout the home more efficiently.

IN Wall Installation

2″ x 6″ In Wall Fully Recessed Installation

The IW25 In Wall Dehumidifier installs completely recessed between interior studs and a 2″ x 6″ wall. Only one side of the wall will need to be cut for the rough opening, and the 5.75″ deep unit fits cleanly inside. This is ideal for new construction and existing applications with 2″ x 6″ wall framing.

Rough Opening Dimensions: 28″ x 14-1/2″ x 5-3/4″

2″ x 4″ In Wall Fully Recessed Installation

The IW25 In Wall Dehumidifier fully recesses through a 2″ x 4″ wall. Two sides of the wall will need to be cut for the rough opening with a 1.75″ back overhang. The dehumidifier includes a fully enclosed and finished paintable back side for attractive presentation. Ideal for new construction, retro or renovation with a 2″ x 4″ wall framing when a recessed installation is preferred.

Rough Opening Dimensions: 28″ x 14-1/2″ x 5-3/4″

IN Wall With Optional Exterior Sleeve

2″ x 4″ In Wall Partially Recessed Installation

The IW25 In Wall Dehumidifier can be semi-recessed into the front of a 2″ x 4″ wall when full recession is not ideal. The optional 2.2″ deep Exterior Sleeve with paintable glossy finish provides a clean bump-out look, and it includes punch-out holes on the side and bottom for versatile drain hose and power routing. Only one side of the wall will need to be cut for the rough opening. This application is ideal for a 2″ x 4″ wall installation with limited space to fully recess the unit.

Rough Opening Dimensions: 28″ x 14-1/2″ x 5-3/4″

Exterior Sleeve Dimensions: 17-1/2″ x 30-1/2″ x 2-1/2″

IN Wall Installation in Kitchen Island

The IW25 is one unit that offers four different installation options, making it an ideal choice for creative applications. Whether you choose On Wall, In Wall fully recessed or In Wall partially recessed with an Exterior Sleeve, this sleekly designed dehumidifier works with virtually any décor and out of the box locations, including fully recessed into a kitchen island.

ON Wall Installation

The IW25 On Wall Dehumidifier hangs directly on any hard surface, including wood, tile, cement, brick or stone. The drain and electrical can be routed through alternate punch-out holes in the frame – no cuts are needed to install directly on the wall. This application is ideal for existing properties, and provides opportunities for creative installations, like cabinets, kitchen islands and basements.

with Condensate Pump

IW25 Condensate Pump

When gravity draining is not an option, the IW25 can be supplemented with an optional Condensate Pump that is fully integrated inside the unit. The pump is capable of pushing moisture 10′ horizontally or 15′ vertically without a downhill slope.

Dimensions: 7 1/8″ x 3″ x 2-14″

Wall Adjacent to HVAC Ventilation Install

Installation that allows for the IW25 dehumidifier to be flush against the wall is ideal. The back of the fixed dehumidifier is easily accessed through HVAC return, the unit will drain directly into existing plumbing and outlet. Great option for apartments and is centrally located.

Below HVAC Ventilation Install

The IW25 dehumidifier for homes does not require a significant amount of space, and will perform adequately in a limited area. The power and drain need to be accessible for installation and maintenance.

Utilizing Mechanical Closet Install

The IW25 dehumidifier is installed flush against the wall. The drain and power supply are easily accessed from the back of the unit, inside of closet, to share existing plumbing and power sources.

Cabinet Install

The IW-25 is versatile in placement, utilizing kitchen islands and cabinet space are great options to ensure a central location. The above installation shares existing plumbing with assistance from a condensate pump routed to the sink drain or disposal system.

Factors to Consider Before Installation

Guided Questionnaire to help with Installation

Concealed Surface Mount Install

The Surface Mount installation conceals unit to help blend into surroundings. Surface mount allows unit to be attached directly to wall, with drain and power sharing sources of nearby appliances.

New Construction Install

Planning for supplemental dehumidification during pre-construction allows for seamless installation. Framework, plumbing and electric can be pre-determined. Drain hose only needs a small incline to ensure proper drainage.

Surface Mount Install

The Surface Mount option allows for the unit to be mounted directly on wall, with drain and power cords routed to exit bottom of mount for access.

Island Install with Custom Surface Mount

Island Dehu Placement
Island with Condensate Pump
Dehumidification placement in a central location is most beneficial in larger spaces when air circulation is minimal. A custom mount was created to install unit within a kitchen island. The tankless dehumidifier will use a condensate pump for continuous draining and will share plumbing with dishwasher, (not seen in picture and will be placed directly in front of condensate pump).
