Supply Duct
1. Assemble the collar by overlapping the two ends.
NOTE:
One end of the collar is slotted and the opposite
end has two small holes. Position the end with small
screw holes underneath the slotted end.
2. Fasten the collar ends with two self drilling sheet metal
screws.
3. Position the collar over the opening and align the 4 holes
in the collar with the 4 holes (or dimples depending on
model) in the rear panel.
4. Using self-drilling screws (10-16x.5), secure the collar
to the rear panel.
Connecting Return & Supply Air Flexible Ducts
• Flexible ducts may be cut to the required length and
spliced with sheet metal sleeves and clamps. Keep all
ducts as short and straight as possible. Avoid sharp
bends. Please follow all instructions packed with duct.
• Flexible ducts can be secured to the corresponding
collars with the provided clamps. After the inner duct is
connected to the collar, pull the insulation and plastic
sleeve over the connection and clamp. NOTE: To prevent
a loss in cooling capacity, make sure all connections
are tight.
• Homes with multiple supply ducts (or special
applications), a Y fitting is available for dividing the
supply air to different areas of the home for more efficient
cooling. NOTE: For maximum performance, insulate
the Y fitting.
Locating & Installing the Return Air Assembly
To simplify installation, locate and install the return air
assembly first. See Figure 4 . If desired, the return opening
can be located inside a closet with louvered doors that
has an open area equal to or greater than a 12” x 20”
grille. The return air grille can be placed in the wall of a
closet and the ducted into the filter box through a boxed-
in area at the closet floor level. Make sure the filter is
readily accessible.
NOTE:
The return air box with grille and filter should not
be located in heavy traffic areas like hallways or center
of rooms. A good spot is in a corner or under a table, if a
minimum two inch clearance is available.
1. Start the installation from under the home by cutting a
small hole in the sub-floor. Determine how the floor joist
location will affect cutting the opening needed for the
return air box. NOTE: Floor joists are generally located
on 16” centers, leaving 14-3/8” between joists.
2. After measuring the return air box (approximately 12-
1/4” x 20-1/4”), cut the hole through the floor so that
the box will fit between the floor joists. Care should be
taken when cutting through carpeting to avoid snags.
NOTE: In most installations it will be necessary to cut a
similar hole in the fiberboard directly under the hole in
the floor. However, if the floor is more than ten inches
deep, it will only be necessary to cut a hole for the collar
on the return air box or for the insulated duct.
3. Set the box into the opening and fasten with screws or
nails.
4. Install the filter and return air grille in place.
Locating & Installing the Supply Damper(s)
When locating the supply damper(s), carefully check
floor joists and frame members that could interfere with
the installation of the damper or flexible duct. Ideally, the
damper ( Figure 5 (page 7) ) should be located in the
bottom of the main duct, forward of center of the home,
at least three feet from the nearest register. The round
supply opening in the slanted side of the damper should
face the side of the home where the heat pump is located.
1. Locate the center of the heat duct by cutting a small
hole in the fiberboard below the duct at the desired
location.
2. Cut a hole approximately 3/4” larger than the damper
opening in the fiberboard.
3. Cut a 9-1/8” x 13-1/8” hole in the duct and bend over
all tabs flat on the inside of the heat duct.
4. Insert the damper into the duct and bend over all tabs
flat on the inside of the heat duct.
5. Seal the opening between the fiberboard and damper
or flexible duct.
