Application
The HeatShift
®
convection duct kit redistributes the
warm air
ȵ
ow away from the
ȴ
replace opening to
a more desirable location using natural convection
without use of a fan.
Plenums LKD1, LDK3, LDK4 or LDK9:
the warm air
ȵ
ow
is relocated to a position higher up the wall, out the
sidewalls, or even to an adjacent room.
Termination Plates LDK7:
the warm air
ȵ
ow is
discharged through a gap (min. 2-1/2”) between the wall
