Ductwork Connections
Examples of poor and good fan-to-duct connections
are shown. Airflow out of the fan should
be directed straight or curve the
same direction as the
fan wheel rotates. Poor
duct installation will result
in low airflow and other
system effects.

All dimensions shown in inches.
• Recommended duct sizes are based on velocities across the cfm
range of each model at approximately 800 feet per minute (FPM) at
minimum airflow and up to 1600 fpm at maximum airflow.
• Recommended duct sizes are only intended to be a guide and
may not satisfy the requirements of the project. Refer to plans for
appropriate job specific duct size and/or velocity limitations.

Rail Mounting / Layout
1. Rails designed to handle the weight of the unit
should be positioned as shown on the diagram (rails
by others).
2. 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.
3. Rails should run the width of the unit and extend
beyond the unit a minimum of 12 inches on each
side.
4. Set unit on rails.
