When installing ductwork, consider the following items:
1. Noncombustible flexible connectors should be used between ductwork and unit to
reduce noise and vibration transmission into the ductwork.
2. When auxiliary heaters are installed, use noncombustible flexible connectors and
clearance to combustible material of 0" for the first 3 feet of discharge duct.
Clearance to unit top and side is 0".
