Exterior Fan Installation: Based on our extensive experience, we highly recommend using PVC pipe as the exterior exhaust pipe over aluminum dowspout for the following reasons:
- PVC is a better insulator so the system will be quieter and there will be less chance of the system freezing up in the winter.
- Allows complete sealing of seams so there will be no leaking of radon or condensation and no chance for mold growth.
