Thank you for selecting a DuctSox System. This guide will be helpful for the installation of a U-Track
System. Sections of fabric will be labeled, assembled, bagged, and boxed for shipping. More
complicated systems will include a CAD detail of the system identifying what is in each package.
Overview
Inventory
F o n t i s F u t u r a M d B T
The first step on any installation project is to read through this guide thoroughly and review the
M e d i u m I t a l i c
components that need to be installed. The best way to do this is to review the drawings of the project
while reading the guide, including the CAD detail if applicable.
Shipping/Receiving
T e x t i l e A i r D i s p e r s i o n P r o d u c t s
In some cases the DuctSox support system is delivered to the job site ahead of the DuctSox fabric
sections. Depending on the size of a project or order, a DuctSox system will be shipped by common
courier in a single brown box or several boxes. Larger orders will be shipped in crates by a common
freight courier. Each DuctSox length should be packaged into individual plastic bags and labeled
according to size and number of pieces. Other markings or labeling may also be incorporated for
larger or more complicated systems. Be sure you have determined all boxes are accounted for.
Unpacking
Inspect shipment carefully and make sure all pieces are accounted for. Account for everything by
emptying the box and examining all contents. Note any missing or damaged pieces listed on the Bill of
Lading.
Labeling
Each DuctSox section will be marked with the size and section number either inside the belt of the
inlet or on a tag inside the DuctSox near the zipper. The marking shall be the diameter, section length
and total length. If custom labeling has been used, locate an identification sheet that will be included
with the delivery.
Equipment Required:
• Drill/driver and magnetic #2 Phillips driver bit
• Level
• #2 Phillips screwdriver
• Tape measure
• Marker or pencil
• Wrenches for cable-to-track connection (7/16" and 7/32" or pliers)
• Flat (standard) screwdriver
• Cable cutter

Installation Steps 1. Review materials in box, including the CAD drawing and installed location of the DuctSox 2. Prepare metal inlet collar for fabric connection 3. Mark placement of track. (1 Row, 2 Row, and 3 Row Style) Install track (with couplers and track supports OR surface mount clips) 4. - Page 4 Insert the rest of the coupler into the other track. Be sure to get each section of track as close together as possible so that the coupler is not visible. Secure the coupler in the tracks with two screws for each track. Installation Guide: U-Track...

- Page 6 See image above. T’s There should be roughly 12” (305mm) from sidewall of DuctSox to the start of the branch track. Track too close to the main run may cause premature failure due to abrasion from the track. Support around fabric fittings may require additional track supports.
- Page 7 After mounting to the ceiling the U-Track can be pushed up into the clip and fastened in place. U-Track should be supported every 4 to 6 ft (1220 to 1830mm) when used in the Surface Mount Hanging option.
- Page 8 Determine placement of track (both track path and elevation). The bottom of the U-Track must be mounted “A” inches apart and “B” inches below the 12:00 location of the DuctSox (match this up to the chart and the drawing.) Track supports are spaced between 5 to 8 ft (1524 to 2440mm) apart with a maximum of 8 ft (2440mm).
