The RadonAway 145c is the most commonly used fan. It has moderate suction, and it is ideal for gravel and concrete slab basements. Below is a variety of information pertaining to installing the RadonAway 145c and more:
Get a radon detector that measures a weekly average because radon can vary greatly throughout the day and week. I have the AirThings radon detector from Amazon. I had a second one and the readings were the same, so at least the reliability is good.
Get a RadonAway manometer to test the suction of your radon fan. This will ensure the fan is working well and there are no leaks in the system. For installation, search “Installing And Understanding Radon Mitigation System Manometer” by Heathy Air Solutions on YouTube. However, ensure you drill the hole in the pipe about two inches lower than the top of the manometer. Also, when you get the manometer, it might not be even on both sides or set to 0. Don’t worry because it adjusts by sliding up and down. As for it not being even on each side, that is also normal. It will even out once you take the tube stoppers off the top of either side.
As for installing the fan, here are the steps I used:
1. Get all the supplies: radon fan, 2 pipe-to-fan connectors/couplings (the 145c model has a 4” connection size and my radon system pipe was 3”, so I got 2 Fernco 3”-to-4” couplings), electrical cord (HomeAire (AKA RadonAway) Power Cord Kit - 6 foot on Amazon will get the job done) [yes, it does not come with a power cord for some reason], PVC hand saw or fine-tooth sawzall, razor for reaming the inside of the pipe after cutting (optional), file for filing the edges of the PVC after cutting (optional), and flat-head screw driver or socket wrench for tightening the coupling.
2. If applicable, and the pipe goes to the attic, install in the attic, not the basement.
3. For installing the power cord, your fan might have two or three wires for the electrical. According to an Amazon answer by RadonAway, either way is fine, and it just depends on which manufacturing facility produced it. However, the power cord has three wires. If your fan only has two, then just cap the third one on the power cord, the green/ground wire.
4. Test the fan by plugging it in prior to going up in your attic. Shake it to ensure nothing is loose or trapped inside the fan.
5. Affix the coupling to the fan on both ends prior to heading into the attic.
6. Take all your supplies to the attic.
7. Cut the pipe. I cut out a 11.25” chunk of pipe because the total length of the fan and the couplings was 14.25”. Then, I subtracted 1.5” for each end of the coupling.
8. [OPTIONAL] File the outer rim of the pipe on both sides.
9. [OPTIONAL] Using a razor or reaming tool, ream the inner rim of the piper on both sides.
10. Plug the fan in, then check your manometer to ensure it has proper suction. The max should be about 1.75, and mine come out to 1.25.
As for the sound, it has a fairly mild humming, even through the ceiling, but you will get used to it in no time. I sleep with a sound machine, and at worst, it just adds to that noise.
I hope this helps and saves you some time!
The new blower installed easily / quickly and it's extremely quiet. The airflow out of the end of the PVC stack is actually louder than the fan motor. Very pleased.
The old unit was pulling 3/4 in-H2O and the brand new unit is pulling 1.0 in-H2O with -0- changes besides the new blower.

My previous 3” fan & 3” ABS pipe could only move manometer 2 bars from my dry sump using a Radon Lid, and reduced my Radon levels from 1600 bq/M3 to 400 monitored by my EcoQube (awesome piece of kit), but levels are still to high. Good start.
With the PVC pipe shortage, can’t hold out for PVC while I get lung cancer, so more expensive ABS will do.
Phase 2 is to increase the CFM with larger 4” ABS pipe pulling from 3” ABS pipe concrete floor (pending drill. It rental) hole & 3” ABS from the dry Sump (via French drains around the house).
The 4” RadonAway fan moves the manometer 6 bars (see pic), and gets me down to about 150 bq/M3 using only the 3” pipe to Sump for now. I think I will get this down much more once cement rental but become available. Also still a shortage of 4” couplings that I’m waiting for.
