If flanged sheet metal ducts are metal-screwed to the unit
casing, do not use screws longer than 1/2 in.
Airflow across air cleaner must be uniform for best results.
Install turning vanes if air cleaner is installed close to an
elbow. Depending on size of furnace, it may or may not be
necessary to reduce ductwork on leaving-air side of air
cleaner. For any application, maintain a 3-to-1 duct reduction
ratio (3 in. of duct length for every 1-in. of reduction in size).
Do not baffle any portion of the entering-air side of the air
cleaner.
9. Seal all joints on downstream side of air cleaner to prevent
infiltration of contaminated air.
