IMPORTANT: Use flexible connectors between ductwork and
unit to prevent transmission of vibration. Use suitable gaskets to
ensure weather tight and airtight seal. When electric heat is installed,
use fireproof canvas (or similar heat resistant material) connector
between ductwork and unit discharge connection. If flexible duct is
used, insert a sheet metal sleeve inside duct. Heat resistant duct
connector (or sheet metal sleeve) must extend 24--in. from electric
heater element.
3. Size ductwork for max possible air flow (See Table 1).
4. Seal, insulate, and weatherproof all external ductwork. Seal,
insulate and cover with a vapor barrier all ductwork passing
through conditioned spaces. Follow latest Sheet Metal and
Air Conditioning Contractors National Association
(SMACNA) and Air Conditioning Contractors Association
(ACCA) minimum installation standards for residential
heating and air conditioning systems.
5. Secure all ducts to building structure. Flash, weatherproof,
and vibration--isolate duct openings in wall or roof
according to good construction practices.
