DUCTWORK CONNECTIONS
Examples of good and poor fan-to-duct connections are shown below . 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 .

Rail Layout
• Rails designed to handle the weight of the ERCH should be
positioned as shown on the diagram (rails by others) .
• Make sure that rail positioning does not interfere with the supply
air discharge opening or the exhaust air intake opening on the
ERCH unit . (Avoid area dimensioned “B” below) .
• Rails should run the width of the unit and extend beyond the unit
a minimum of 12 inches on each side .
• Set unit on rails.

All dimensions shown are 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 .
• Straight duct lengths were calculated based on 100% effective duct length requirements as prescribed in AMCA Publication 201.
Calculated values have been rounded up to nearest foot .
