Ductwork Specifications
Connect supply-air duct over 3/4" (19 mm) flange provided on
supply-air opening. Secure duct to flange using applicable fasteners for
type of duct used, and seal duct-to-unit joint.
NOTE: Short duct runs tend to increase noise level.
When fan coil is equipped with an electric heater, install air ducts in
accordance with standards 90A and 90B of National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA). Use of flexible connectors between ductwork and
unit will prevent transmission of vibration. When electric heater is
installed, use heat-resistant material for a flexible connector between
ductwork and unit air discharge connection. Ductwork passing through
unconditioned space must be insulated and covered with a vapor barrier.
NOTE: Unit is intended for non-ducted return-air applications. Product
Data sheet includes a list of accessories, including louvered wall panels
and return air opening grills. If ducted return is used, airflow must meet
criteria established in the Product Data. Local codes may limit this unit
to single-level applications.
Design the duct system in accordance with “ACCA” Manual “D” Design
for Residential Winter and Summer Conditioning and Equipment
Selection (or equivalent). Latest editions are available from: “ACCA”
Air Conditioning Contractors of America. If duct system incorporates
flexible air duct, be sure pressure drop information (straight length plus
all turns) shown in “ACCA” Manual “D” is accounted for in system.
