Ductwork Connections
Examples of poor and good fan-to-duct connections
are shown. Airflow out of the fan should

Rail Mounting / Layout
• Rails designed to handle the weight of the unit
should be positioned as shown on the diagram
(rails by others).
• Make sure that rail positioning does not interfere
with the supply air discharge opening or the
exhaust air intake opening on the unit. Avoid area
dimensioned "B" below.
• Rails should extend beyond the unit a minimum of
12 inches on each side.
