Rail Mounting / Layout

• Rails designed to handle the weight of the unit

should be positioned as shown on the diagram
(rails by others).

• Make sure that rail positioning does not interfere

with the supply air discharge opening or the
exhaust air intake opening on the unit. Avoid area
dimensioned “B” below.

• Rails should run the width of the unit and extend

beyond the unit a minimum of 12 inches on each
side.

• Set unit on rails.

All dimensions shown in inches.
• Recommended duct sizes are based on velocities across the cfm

range of each model at approximately 800 feet per minute (FPM)
at minimum airflow and up to 1600 fpm at maximum airflow.
Recommended duct sizes are only intended to be a guide and
may not satisfy the requirements of the project. Refer to plans for
appropriate job specific duct size and/or velocity limitations.

• Straight duct lengths were calculated based on 100% effective

duct length requirements as prescribed in AMCA Publication 201.
Calculated values have been rounded up to nearest foot.

Ductwork Connections

Examples of poor and good fan-to-duct connections
are shown below. Airflow out of the fan
should be directed straight or curve
the same direction as the
fan wheel rotates. Poor
duct installation will result
in low airflow and other
system effects.
