AIR DUCTS

General Requirements

The duct system should be designed and sized according to

accepted national standards such as those published by: Air
Conditioning Contractors Association (ACCA), Sheet Metal and

Air Conditioning Contractors National Association (SMACNA) or
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning

Engineers (ASHRAE) or consult The Air Systems Design
Guidelines
reference tables available from your local distributor.

The duct system should be sized to handle the required system

design CFM at the design static pressure.
When a furnace is installed so that the supply ducts carry air

circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space containing the
furnace, the return air must also be handled by a duct(s) sealed to

the furnace casing and terminating outside the space containing the

furnace.
Secure ductwork with proper fasteners for type of ductwork used.

Seal supply-- and return--duct connections to furnace with code
approved tape or duct sealer.
Flexible connections should be used between ductwork and

furnace to prevent transmission of vibration. Ductwork passing
through unconditioned space should be insulated to enhance

system performance. When air conditioning is used, a vapor barrier
is recommended.
Maintain a 1--in. (25 mm) clearance from combustible materials to
supply air ductwork for a distance of 36 in. (914 mm) horizontally

from the furnace. See NFPA 90B or local code for further

requirements.
For a furnace not equipped with a cooling coil, the outlet duct shall

be provided with a removable access panel. This opening shall be
accessible when the furnace is installed and shall be of such a size

that the heat exchanger can be viewed for possible openings using

light assistance or a probe can be inserted for sampling the air
stream. The cover attachment shall prevent leaks.

Ductwork Acoustical Treatment

Metal duct systems that do not have a 90 degree elbow and 10 ft.

(3M) of main duct to the first branch take--off may require internal
acoustical lining. As an alternative, fibrous ductwork may be used

if constructed and installed in accordance with the latest edition of
SMACNA construction standard on fibrous glass ducts. Both

acoustical lining and fibrous ductwork shall comply with NFPA
90B as tested by UL Standard 181 for Class 1 Rigid air ducts.

Supply Air Connections
Upflow Furnaces

Connect supply--air duct to 3/4--in. (19 mm)flange on furnace

supply--air outlet. The supply--air duct attachment must ONLY be

connected to furnace supply--/outlet--air duct flanges or air
conditioning coil casing (when used). DO NOT cut main furnace

casing to attach supply side air duct, humidifier, or other
accessories. All accessories MUST be connected external to

furnace main casing.

Downflow Furnaces

Connect supply--air duct to supply--air opening on furnace. The
supply--air duct attachment must ONLY be connected to furnace

supply/outlet or air conditioning coil casing (when used) when
installed on non--combustible material

When installed on

combustible material, supply air duct attachment must ONLY be

connected to an accessory subbase or factory approved air
conditioning coil casing. DO NOT cut main furnace casing to

attach supply side air duct, humidifier, or other accessories. All
accessories MUST be connected external to furnace main casing.

Supply air opening duct flanges must be modified per Fig. 22.

Horizontal Furnaces

Connect supply--air duct to supply--air opening on furnace. The
supply--air duct attachment must ONLY be connected to furnace

supply/outlet or air conditioning coil casing (when used). DO NOT

cut main furnace casing to attach supply side air duct, humidifier,
