Before mounting the distributor to the duct or AHU, be sure to review the
information in the "Positioning" section of the manual. (See section 1.6.)
•
Attach any optional inlet and/or drain connections to the distributor that
will need to pass through the wall of the duct. (Fig.1.k) See section 2 for
information in inlet connections. See section 3 for information on drain
connections.
•
Unless the distributor has been assembled inside the duct or AHU, cut an
opening in the duct through which the distributor can be inserted. The
opening can be in either the side or bottom of the duct, depending on
accessibility. (Fig.1.k)
•
Check that the structural integrity of the duct or AHU is suffi cient to
support the weight of the distributor where the bottom brackets are
located. Reinforce these areas if necessary. Weight tables are provided in
section 8.1 of the manual.
•
Center the distributor within the duct as much as possible.
•
Cut out any additional openings in the duct or AHU as needed for the inlet
and/or drain connections.
•
If desired, shim the inlet side of the distributor so that condensate in the
