Dependent Variables
Information Required for Duct
Construction
1. A comprehensive duct layout indicating
sizes, design airflows, pressure class,
and routing of the duct system.
2. The types of fittings to be used based on
the designer's calculations of fitting
losses (i.e., square versus 45 entry taps,
conical versus straight taps, etc.).
Information Required for Duct

3. Use of turning vanes or splitter vanes.
4. Location of access doors.
5. Location and type of control and
balancing dampers.

8. Location and types of any fire
protection device including fire
dampers, smoke dampers, combination
fire/smoke dampers, and ceiling
dampers. Building codes require this
information to be shown on the design
documents submitted for building
