Constant circulation is very important to maintain
room comfort. Do not install vents under/beside/on-top
of objects that may hamper the cone of influence from
circulating the room air.
Locating Vents
Outlets do not have to be located on an outside wall. Due
to the venturi action of the Hi-Velocity System, the air in
the entire room is gently circulated at all times. The outlets
should be located six inches
(152mm)
on centre from any
possible obstruction, seven inches
(178mm)
for HE outlets.
(Fig. 02)
.
Proper location is critical to the operation of the Hi-Velocity
System for optimum home comfort. The outlets should be
located where it is considered to be a “low traffic area”.
Typical areas are in the corner of a room, or to the side of
a window or door. When the vents are properly located, the
home owner can expect to have a nearly draft free home.

Vent placement in outside walls of the structure
should be avoided.
Flexible duct that is run in outside
walls may receive a substantial heat loss/gain. This can
result in a higher operating cost for the structure while
delivering an inferior air quality.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN INSTALLATION:
A heat load calculation and duct layout is required
before any installation can begin. See Module DES
- Designing the Hi-Velocity System, before you begin
installation. The layout is designed to provide you with
the maximum benefit from your Hi-Velocity System.
Small deviations may be necessary due to existing
construction. However, please contact your system
designer before proceeding if large deviations must be
made such as:

With the venturi effect of the Hi-Velocity system, you
have more options in vent placement. Each vent has an
effective throw of 18’
(5.49m)
and causes the air to constantly
circulate.
(Fig. 01)
This allows for vent placement in floors,
ceilings, or walls.
• Elimination of a vent from a room
• Moving a vent more than 10 feet (3.05m) from its
specified location
• Re-routing the main plenum
