required.
e. Cut away along edge of flange allowing the
center to drop into the duct. Remove section
of duct with caution, as edges will be sharp.
INSTALLING FINGER TABBED DUCT CON-
NECTORS
a. Place duct connector through the floor open-
ing with bottom tabs extending through the
duct opening. (See Figure 9)
b. Secure duct connector to floor.
c. Bend bottom tabs under and up tightly against
the supply air duct (See Figure 10).
NOTE: The duct connector is designed for use
on ducts 12" in width. When using the connec-
tor on 12" wide ducts, there may be insufficient
clearance to bend the tabs on two sides of the
duct connector. In such cases the tabs may be
attached to the sides of the duct by using sheet
metal screws or other suitable fasteners. (See
Figure 11).
If sealant, mastic, or tape is used to provide a
better seal, it should be approved by applicable
national or local codes.
ALTERNATE ATTACHMENT METHODS
This procedure may also be used to install a
furnace duct connector to narrow metal
ductwork where insufficient clearance prevents
bending of the duct connector tabs at the
side(s) of the duct. (See Figure 12).
1. Score and cut the top of the metal duct as
indicated in Step 1 or Step 2. With Step 1
choice, also cut out the metal from the shaded
area “A”.
2. Fold the duct flap “B” up, (See Step 3).
