Optional Duct Connectors for
Downfl ow Systems
Duct connectors are recommended for heated
air distribution in under-the-fl oor duct systems.
With this system, furnaces may be installed on
combustible fl ooring without a separate sub-
base. Also, the furnace rear mounting plate
(see Figure 3) supplied with the duct connec-
tors is recommended for use with this type of
installation.
Selecting Duct Connector
Non Platinum Duct Connector
1.
Determine depth of fl oor cavity from surface
of fl oor to top of supply air duct (see Figure
5).
2. Select appropriate model from Table 4
which matches X-dimension of fl oor cavity.
To maximize air delivery, remove reducer
(C in Figure 5) to obtain largest open area
that will fi t duct/fl oor construction.
NOTE: Duct connectors may be
installed in any one of four positions.
