Ductwork

Ductwork construction guidelines
Connections to the unit should be made with
3"(76mm) canvas connectors to minimize
noise and vibration transmission.
Elbows with turning vanes or splitters are rec-
ommended to minimize air noise and resist-
ance.
The first elbow in the ductwork leaving the
unit should be no closer than three times
blower diameter to avoid turbulence and back
pressure.
Attaching Horizontal Ductwork to
the Unit
All conditioned air ductwork should be insulat-
ed to minimize heating and cooling duct loss-
es. Use minimum of 2"(50mm) of insulation
with a vapor barrier. The outside ductwork
must be weather proofed between the unit
and the building.
When attaching ductwork to a horizontal unit,
provide a flexible water tight connection to
prevent noise transmission from the unit to
the ducts. The flexible connection must be
indoors and molded out of heavy canvas.
NOTE
!
• Do not draw the canvas taut between
the solid ducts.
