Thank you for selecting a DuctSox System. This guide will be helpful for the installation of a U-Track 

System. Sections of fabric will be labeled, assembled, bagged, and boxed for shipping. More 

complicated systems will include a CAD detail of the system identifying what is in each package.

Overview

Inventory

The first step on any installation project is to read through this guide thoroughly and review the 

components that need to be installed. The best way to do this is to review the drawings of the project 

while reading the guide, including the CAD detail if applicable.  

Shipping/Receiving

In some cases the DuctSox support system is delivered to the job site ahead of the DuctSox fabric 

sections. Depending on the size of a project or order, a DuctSox system will be shipped by common 

courier in a single brown box or several boxes. Larger orders will be shipped in crates by a common 

freight courier. Each DuctSox length should be packaged into individual plastic bags and labeled 

according to size and number of pieces. Other markings or labeling may also be incorporated for 

larger or more complicated systems. Be sure you have determined all boxes are accounted for.

Unpacking

Inspect shipment carefully and make sure all pieces are accounted for. Account for everything by 

emptying the box and examining all contents. Note any missing or damaged pieces listed on the Bill of 

Lading.

Labeling

Each DuctSox section will be marked with the size and section number either inside the belt of the 

inlet or on a tag inside the DuctSox near the zipper. The marking shall be the diameter, section length 

and total length. If custom labeling has been used, locate an identification sheet that will be included 

with the delivery.

Equipment Required:

• Drill/driver and magnetic #2 Phillips driver bit

• Level

• #2 Phillips screwdriver

• Tape measure

• Marker or pencil

• Wrenches for cable-to-track connection (7/16” and 7/32” or pliers)

• Flat (standard) screwdriver

• Cable cutter
