ROUND Q-duct INSTALLATION

USING CLIPS:

A. Single cable:
- Suspend wire cable across room at proper horizontal height and mount with turnbuckle to anchor points.
. - Along this cable run mount vertical Strap-ups cables to overhead anchor every 16 ft and attach to the horizontal cable to maintain its level.
-Attach first section of Q-duct to HVAC source with supplied metal strapping. Continue the addition of zippered Q-duct sections as supplied.

B. Double cable:
The two cables are suspended (as in 'A.' above) located on either side of the Q-duct centerline to conform to the Q-duct diameter.

USING RAILS:
USING SINGLE RAILS WITH GLIDERS

A. Take measurements ( from unit, walls, etc.) to establish rail location . Rail should be located on centerline of Q-duct run. Rail installation must be straight, (use a chalk line or other device to insure straight alignment)

B. Attach rail to overhead anchor by: (1) using white clips screwed to anchor or (2) drill holes in rail very three feet and attach with countersunk flat head screws.

C. Attach first Q-duct section to distribution system with clamp provided and slide Q-duct onto rail using curtain gliders attached to Q-duct, zip sections together.

USING DOUBLE RAIL WITH GLIDERS

A. Take measurements ( from unit, walls, etc.) to establish rail location . Rail should be located on centerline of Q-duct run. Rail will attach to Strap-up using the gliders. The gliders will slide in to the upper side of the Double Aluminum rail.

B. Attach Strap-up to ceiling eye-hooks. (supplied by others)

C. Attach first Q-duct section to distribution system with clamp provided and slide Q-duct onto rail using curtain

D. Rail Installation must be straight, use Double Rail connectors to connect Double Rail with one another.

E. Slide Q-duct on to rail with curtain gliders attached to Q-duct section, zip section together.

F. Attach first Q-duct section to distribution system with clamp provided and slide Q-duct onto rail using curtain gliders attached to Q-duct.

HALF ROUND Q-duct INSTALLATION WITH D-RAIL

A. Take measurement to establish rail location. Each rail should be equal distance from the center of the Half round Q-duct location. The total distance between the rails should be equal to the distance between the plastic channels on the flat top side of the Q-duct

B. Installation must be straight.

C. Attach rail to ceiling by drilling holes in rail every 3.ft and screw to ceiling in location which provides suitable strength for mounting Q-duct.

D. Slide Q-duct on to Rail, zip section together .

E. Attach Q-duct to sheet metal ducting with clamp supplied by Q-duct.
