Requirements and
Suggestions for
Connecting and
Installing Ducts
• Type of Ductwork - The type of duct installation to be used depends in part on the
type of construction of the building.
• Ductwork Material - Rectangular duct should be constructed of not lighter than
No. 26 U.S. gauge galvanized iron or No. 24 B & S gauge aluminum.
• Ductwork Structure - All duct sections 24 inches or wider, and over 48 inches
in length, should be cross broken on top and bottom and should have standing
seams or angle-iron braces. Joints should be S and drive strip, or locked.
• Through Masonry Walls - No warm air duct should come in contact with masonry
walls. Insulate around all air duct through masonry walls with not less than 1/2" (1"
is recommended) of insulation.
• Through Unheated Space - Insulate all exposed warm air ducts passing through
unheated space with at least 1/2" (1" recommended) of insulation.
• Duct Supports - Suspend all ducts securely from buildings members. Do not sup-
port ducts from unit duct connections.
• Duct Sizing - Proper sizing of the supply air ductwork is necessary to ensure a
satisfactory heating installation. The recognized authority for such information is
the Air Conditioning Contractors Association, 2800 Shirlington Road, Suite 300,
Arlington, VA 22206 (www.acca.org). A manual covering duct sizing in detail may
be purchased directly from them.
• Removable Panels - The ducts should have removable access panels on both
upstream and downstream sides of the furnace. These openings must be acces-
sible when the furnace is in service and should be a minimum of 6" x 10" in size so
