Exception:

 Where it is physically impossible to locate the 

detector accordingly, the detector can be positioned closer 
than six duct widths, but as far as possible from the open-
ing, bend, or deflection plates.

Step 3. Mount Duct Housing

Remove the duct housing cover. Slide the foam gaskets over 
the tube bushings as shown in Figure 2A. Make sure the 
two small holes in the gaskets line up with the two duct 
housing  mounting  holes.  Put  one  5/16-inch  O-ring  over 
each of the two #10 sheet metal screws. Use the two sheet 
metal screws to secure the duct housing to the duct.

Step 4. Install The Inlet Tube

The inlet tube (shown in Figure 3) is identified by a series 
of air inlet holes on the tube. This tube must be purchased 
separately.  Order  the  correct  length,  as  specified  in  Table 
1, for the width of the duct where it will be installed. The 
exhaust tube is molded into the base of the duct housing.

The  inlet  tube  should  be  installed  in  the  inlet  sampling 
tube  bushing  located  in  the  center  of  the  duct  detector 
housing. (See Figure 2A.) The air inlet holes must face into 
the air flow. To assure proper installation, the tube mount-
ing flange is marked with arrows. Mount the inlet tube so 
that the arrows point into the air flow. Figure 4 shows the 
various combinations of duct detector and tube mounting 
configurations with respect to air flow.
