GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Installing Ductwork

Installing Ductwork

Install ductwork to the 4-way Vertical Air Handling Unit as required for

your system. Some general guidelines are:
• Use more than 10 screws to join the supply duct to the VAHU.
• Seal all duct work according to local codes to prevent air leakage.

Ensure that filter access is unobstructed.

• The VAHU support platform must be sturdy enough to support the

cabinet plus any accessory components including filter box.

• The minimum height clearance is 14 inches to maintain proper air flow.
• Vibration isolators (field supplied) must be placed between the unit

and the pedestal.

• To prevent vibration transmission, use flexible connectors between

duct and the unit. If the optional electric heater is installed, it is man-

datory that the flexible connector between unit and duct at discharge

connection is made of heat resistant material.

• Duct work must be insulated and covered with vapor barrier when

routed through unconditioned space.

• To prevent the formation of condensation, insulate the duct well.
• Internal acoustical insulation lining may be necessary for the metal

duct system if it does not have a 90° elbow and 10ft. of main duct to

the first branch takeoff.

• It is advised that a fibrous duct work could be used as a substitute

if built and installed in accordance with the most recent edition of

SMACNA construction standard on fibrous glass ducts.

• Collectively, fibrous duct work and acoustical lining must follow Na-

tional Fire Protection Association standards 90A or B as tested by UL

standard 181 for class 1 air ducts.

• Seal around the duct after it is secured to prevent air leaks.

More than 6 screws (M4*25L)

More than

1inch (25mm)

Do not connect screws on front and rear side;

they may interfere with filter installation.

More than 10 screws
