Requirement detailsThe current HPTA Series 210 manual requires at least 450 ft³ without added air exchange. Enclosures from 84–449 ft³ are permitted only with one of the manual's transfer-air arrangements: fully louvered door; upper and lower wall grilles; or upper grille plus a 3/4-in door undercut / at least 18 in² net free opening. Each wall grille must be at least 22 × 6 in or 130 in² net free area. Factory duct adapters are also supported; follow the duct section rather than treating 84 ft³ as an unconditional minimum.

Minimum room air
700 ft³; smaller w/ ventilation/ducting
Requirement detailsWithout ducts, a room of at least 700 ft³ needs no added ventilation. Below 700 ft³, the official manual requires a fully louvered door or top-and-bottom louvers; its small-closet arrangement requires an 18 in² / 0.75-in under-door opening plus an exhaust-height louver and exhaust within 12 in of the door. With only inlet or outlet ducting, an 18 in² / 0.75-in under-door opening is required. With both inlet and outlet ducted, the manual permits any room size with no added ventilation. No lower universal numeric volume is stated. Source for the selected size (opens in a new tab)

An upper louver or undercut plus one duct, or both inlet and outlet ducted, has 'None' in the manual's minimum-space column.

Fully ducted rooms below 85 ft³ have no stated minimum; partially ducted rooms below 85 ft³ have no stated minimum but require the page-16 transfer-air arrangement.

How these manufacturers were selected

Different manufacturers were selected for a brand-diverse comparison. Current ENERGY STAR facts are shown where an exact or declared-series catalog binding exists; otherwise the missing catalog match is explicit.

This is a brand-diverse comparison—not a sales ranking, quality score, household-fit result, price claim, or recommendation. Sources reviewed 2026-08-28; refresh required before 2026-08-31.
