The photos below are of radon system components when fans are installed in either a house or garage attic space, thus eliminating any view of radon system components on the house exterior. Other than the fan's pvc pipe exhaust termination through the back or side of the roof, which is the same as a plumbing vent pipe termination found on every home's roof, no one would know you had a radon system, unless you told them. All of the photos below are examples of a Timmit Radon Systems' attic location for the radon fan, utilizing all of the above listed highlights & key benefits.

INTERIOR (ATTIC) FAN INSTALLATIONS HIGHLIGHTS  

  •  RADON FANS ARE PLACED IN ATTIC SPACES OF ATTACHED GARAGES OF TWO-STORY OR  ONE-STORY HOMES AS A FIRST OPTION IF EXHAUST TERMINATION OF THE RADON GAS MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS (HIGHEST EAVE) GOVERNED BY THE I.E.M.A. RADON LICENSING PROGRAM. 


  •  PVC PIPE IS ROUTED FROM THE BASEMENT or CRAWLSPACE INTO THE ATTACHED GARAGE ATTIC SPACE. 


  • FIRE COLLARS ARE INSTALLED AT BOTH THE ENTRY AND EXIT POINTS OF THE GARAGE IF FIRE-CODE DRYWALL HAS BEEN PENETRATED. 


  • A POWER SOURCE (RECEPTACLE) IS INSTALLED WITHIN 6 FEET OF THE FAN PLACEMENT 


  • RADON FAN PIPE (JUST BELOW THE FAN) IS SECURELY FASTENED TO WOOD FRAMING MEMBERS IN THE ATTIC WITH UNISTRUT AND PIPE CLAMPS TO ELIMINATE VIBRATION THROUGH THE CEILING BELOW. 


  •  ROOF BOOT IS INSTALLED FOR THE FAN EXHAUST AND SEALED PROFESSIONALLY WITH A GUARANTEE OF NO LEAKS.​​


  • UNISTRUT & PIPE CLAMPS ARE USED TO SECURE THE SUCTION PIPE BEFORE GARAGE ENTRY AND AFTER GARAGE ATTIC ENTRY.


  • ALL HORIZONTAL RUNS OF SUCTION PIPE IN THE ATTIC ARE SUPPORTED AT LEAST EVERY 6 FEET WITH UNISTRUT, PIPE CLAMPS OR J-HOOKS.


  • THE SUCTION PIPE IS MOUNTED TO NEWLY INSTALLED WOOD FRAMING WITH UNISTRUT & PIPE CLAMPS SO WHAT'S VISIBLE OUTSIDE EXITS THE ROOF PLUMB (VERTICALLY LEVEL) AND STAYS THAT WAY.



KEY BENEFITS OF INTERIOR FAN LOCATIONS

  • THE ATTIC INSTALLED FAN IS PROTECTED FROM EXTREME WEATHER.​


  • THE FAN WILL LAST LONGER IF INSTALLED IN AN ATTIC SPACE.


  • THE ONLY VISIBLE EXTERIOR EVIDENCE OF A RADON SYSTEM IS A VENT PIPE EXITING THROUGH THE SIDE OR BACK OF THE ROOF. 


  • A ROOF BOOT ('KOZY-KOLLAR' BRAND) CAN BE INSTALLED FROM THE INSIDE OF THE ATTIC, WHEN NECESSARY, SUCH AS ON VERY STEEP, ICY OR SNOW COVERED ROOFS, AND IS GUARANTEED NOT TO LEAK.

​

  •  GARAGE ATTICS TYPICALLY HAVE A GARAGE DOOR OPENER RECEPTACLE OR A PULL CHAIN LIGHT FIXTURE AVAILABLE FOR THE FAN POWER SOURCE.
