SECTIONS
To ease the installation, each QDuct system is shipped with a project specific drawing and list of
material. The drawing is numbered for each part. Each QDuct part is numbered to match the drawing
and the list of material. AQC recommends installing QDuct from the unit outward.
DUCT SUPPORTS
•
AQC recommends that duct supports be used in
compliance with SMACNA guidelines for “Phenolic Duct
Construction Standards”, ANSI/SMACNA 022- 2015 as
applicable for exterior ducting.
•
Duct supports should be designed per engineer standards
to conform to local codes and consider potential for snow
load.
•
Duct supports should be fully enclosed (bottom, left side,
right side and top) around the external walls of the QDuct
ensuring resistance to lift caused by wind force.
•
Supports should never be secured to the QDuct system
using screws, pins or other methods that would penetrate
the external jacket of the Q Ductsystem.
•
Duct support spacing shall be every 72 inches or one
support per duct section.
