It's everywhere It doesn't need to be in your home Experts all agree that radon is everywhere. A naturally occurring radioactive gas, Radon in low concentrations is harmless. In todays better insulated homes however, radon can accumulate to harmful levels. Your first step in determining the radon level of your home is to test your home. Test kits can be purchased at a number of locations in your town or city. (If you have difficulty, contact your local EPA office and they will assist you). Once you have tested your home and find that you have dangerous or elevated amounts of radon present you need to consider radon mitigation. In your selection of a contractor make sure he is offering Fantech radon mitigation fans as part of your solution.

For over 10 years Fantech has manufactured quality mitigation fans for radon applications. With over one million radon installations worldwide and the reputation for establishing new standards of performance and value your contractor has selected the finest fan for your family’s protection. Every Fantech Radon Fan is fully caulked as necessary to ensure optimum performance and durability. All fans are UL rated for outside installations.

Performance Curves

Fantech provides you with independently tested performance specifications.

The performance curves shown in this brochure are representative of the actual test results recorded at Texas Engineering Experiment Station/Energy Systems Lab, a recognized testing authority for HVI. Testing was done in accordance with AMCA Standard 210-85 and HVI 916 Test Procedures. Performance graphs show air flow vs. static pressure.

Use of HP Series fans in low resistance applications such as bathroom venting will result in elevated sound levels. We suggest FR Series or other Fantech fans for such applications.

HP2133 and 2190 Radon Mitigation Fans

Tested with 4" ID duct and standard couplings.

HP2133 – For applications where lower pressure and flow are needed. Record low power consumption of 14-20 watts! Often used where there is good sub slab communication and lower Radon levels.
HP2190 – Performance like the HP190 but in a smaller housing. Performance suitable for the majority of installations.

Fans are attached to PVC pipe using flexible couplings.
For 4” PVC pipe use Indiana Seals #156-44, Pipeconx PCX 56-44 or equivalent.
For 3” PVC pipe use Indiana Seals #156-43, Pipeconx PCX 56-43 or equivalent.

HP175 and HP190 Radon Mitigation Fans

Tested with 4" ID duct and standard couplings.

HP175 – The economical choice where slightly less air flow is needed. Often used where there is good sub slab communication and lower Radon levels.
HP190 – The standard for Radon Mitigation. Ideally tailored performance curve for a vast majority of your mitigations.

Fans are attached to PVC pipe using flexible couplings.
For 4” PVC pipe use Indiana Seals #151-44, Pipeconx PCX 51-44 or equivalent.
For 3” PVC pipe use Indiana Seals #156-43, Pipeconx PCX 56-43 or equivalent.

HP220 Radon Mitigation Fan

Tested with 6" ID duct and standard couplings.

HP 220 – Excellent choice for systems with elevated radon levels, poor communication, multiple suction points and large subslab footprint. Replaces FR 175.

Fans are attached to PVC pipe using flexible couplings.
For 4” PVC pipe use Indiana Seals #156-64, Pipeconx PCX 56-64 or equivalent.
For 3” PVC pipe use Indiana Seals #156-63, Pipeconx PCX 56-63 or equivalent.
