Vektor-CD Centrifugal Laboratory Exhaust

Plenum Installation
The figures depicted illustrate three common methods
used to install Vektor-CD bypass plenums. Methods
used to attach a Vektor unit are dependent on local
codes, roof construction design and roof construction
materials. Consult an architect or structural engineer
for proper means of attachment.
Place 1/2 inch thick x 1/2 inch wide silicone gasket
around the perimeter of top edge of curb, adhesive
side down (gasket provided in Vektor-CD hardware kit).
To align holes properly, the plenum needs to be
centered on the curb.
When holes are provided in the curb, install 316
stainless steel screws (provided) in all holes. Use anti-
seize gel (provided) to prevent galling / welding of all
stainless steel fasteners.
When holes are not provided in the curb (non
Greenheck curb): Drill 0.28 in. diameter holes in curb
using bypass air plenum holes as a template. Install
5/16 in. self-tapping screws (provided) in all the holes.

Plenum Assembly
continued
An additional side (or access) panel may need to be
removed in order to gain access to the inside of the
plenum assembly. The bolts should be tightened in
an even and consistent manner as to pull the two
sections together and compress the gasketing.
After the plenum is assembled
Use all provided hardware to tighten and join the
mating sections together. Any side panels removed
to gain access to the interior of the plenum should be
reattached. The assembled plenum has holes in the
curb cap to fasten the plenum to the already installed
roof curb.
The plenum is now ready to have gasketing placed in
the mounting location between the plenum and the
fan. After the gasketing has been attached the fans
can be lifted and set into place.
