Instructions for Installing a Ducting Line
LaserLock™ Slip Joint telescopes in length to eliminate wasted parts due to improper measurements.
Connect all 45° branch pieces and 45° elbows to produce a required 90° angle. Lay out branch and elbow assemblies on the floor in line with machine entry points as shown at left. |
|
Connect the branches to ducting sections of the correct length and diameter. Adjustment to length on duct sections is achieved by using LaserLock™ slip joint assembly instructions described HERE. |
|
Carefully raise main or sub-main to required center line height above floor using preferred LaserLock™ hanging material listed HERE. |
|
Extend branch arms to machines using correct length and diameter duct. Adjustment to length of duct sections is achieved by using LaserLock™ slip joint assembly instructions HERE. Fit another 90° elbow on end of each horizontal run. |
|
Install vertical risers from machines to horizontal runs using your preferred method of connection. |
|
Connect main or sub-main to filter, fan or desired machinery with required standard or custom fitting manufactured by Duct Incorporated, or continue with next section of system. |
