5. The GP amp XP Series have a wide range of models to choose from to cover a wide range of subslab material The higher static suction fans are generally used for tighter subslab materials The XR Series is specifically designed for high flow applications such as stone gravel and drain tile Additional suction points can be added as required It is recommended that a small pit 5 to 10 gallons in size be created below the slab at each suction hole Page 2 of 8 IN014 Rev I 1 6 CONDENSATION amp DRAINAGE Condensation is formed in the piping of a mitigation system when the air in the piping is chilled below its dew point This can occur at points where the system piping goes through unheated a such as an attic garage or outside The system design must provide a means for water to rain back to a slab hole to remove the condensation The GP XP XR Series Fan MUST be mounted vertically plumb and level with the outlet pointing up for proper drainage through the fan Avoid mounting the fan in any orientation that will allow water to accumulate inside the fan housing The GP XP XR Series Fans are NOT suitable for underground burial For GP XP XR Series Fan piping the following table provides the minimum recommended pipe diameter and pitch under several system conditions Pipe Minimum Rise per Foot of Run Dia 25 CFM__ 50 CFM 100 CFM Cs pa Be Typical GP XP XR Series Fan operational flow rate is 25 90 CFM For more precision determine f
