BLOWER TO DUCTWORK ALIGNMENT
5
In general, the use of flexible ducting is discouraged because
it can cause severely restricted airflow. However, if the
blower outlet and the floor or wall duct location do NOT align
well, then flexible METAL ducting can be used to adapt to an
offset. Good alignment without use of flexible ducting is best.
NOTE:
• Do not exceed the maximum recommended
offset of 6".
• Do not allow the flexible ducting to kink or collapse.
• Do stretch the flexible ducting as much as possible
to eliminate as much of the corrugation as possible.
