THE RANCH STYLE HOUSE Here the power unit is mounted in the garage. The intake and e xhaust tubing, the only e xposed tubing in the installation, runs up the garage wall and into the attic. The trunk line runs horizontally through the attic from the power unit to the f ar thest inlet location. Branch lines spread throughout the attic, connecting th[...]

THE SPLIT -LEVEL HOUSE Like the tw o-stor y house , the split le vel installation commonly calls f or a two-le v el trunk line. Here, the power unit is located in the garage. The intake tubing runs e xposed up the garage wall and into the g round le vel section's attic. T wo branch lines connect this par t of the trunk line to inlet lines whic[...]

5 W ORKING WITH PLASTIC TUBING Cutting the T ubing Bef ore you cut a length of tube , accurately measure the length you need. Allow 5/8” of tubing for inserting into fittings and 1 ½” f or placing into fle xible tubing. Cut the plastic tubing with a hacksa w , making sure that the cut is e xactly square. (Y ou can use a tube cutter if one is a[...]

LOCA TING A CCESS KEYS IN EXISTING CONSTR UCTION Unless your home is a r anch-style house where a single trunk line can r un directly through the attic or basement, y ou should first inv estigate y our house to find the ke y to running your tubing from le vel to le vel. Look f or an accessible area free from obstructions that will accommodate the 2[...]

INST ALLING THE INLET TUBING When your planning is complete , you will ha v e to determine where all the inlets and the power unit will be located. Y ou hav e also mapped out the location of y our trunk line and f ound the access you need to run vertical tubing from one le vel of y our house to another le v el. Y ou should have acquainted yourself [...]

Drilling the Access Holes Once you are certain that you’ve located the center of the wall directly abo ve the inlet location, use a 2½” hole saw to cut the access hole through the wall plate or header and into the wall ca vity . (A 1/2” drill is recommended.) Carefully remov e the drill from the hole. Now , use a flashlight to inspect the wa[...]

Whate ver the case , inser t the completed inlet line into the access hole and thread it down inside the w all. The inlet line should be long enough so that it e xtends abov e the joists in the attic; at this height, it can be easily connected to the branch and truck lines . When cutting the inlet tubing to length, remember that your inlet will be [...]

Use an awl or icepic k to punch pilot holes where you mark ed the two hole locations. Now , dr ill tw o 3⁄8” diameter holes, using the pilot holes as the centers. Locate and drill these holes e xactly as marked with the template. Also drill four pilot holes in the f our corners of the marked area. Make sure these holes are located inside the ma[...]

Hold the assembly in place f or a fe w minutes as the cement sets; allow 5 minutes f or the cement to completely dr y . Now , strip the ends of the two low v oltage wires, and then connect the wires to the screw terminals on the back of the inlet cov er . Mak e sure the wires are tightly secured under the terminal screws. When the wiring is complet[...]

Inser t the bottom scre w into the inlet cov er and through the other par ts . Give the screw a few tu rn s un til it f ir mly engages in the mounting plate. Now , le vel and slightly lo wer the assembly . Make sure the wall is sandwiched between the inner and outer par ts—y ou’ll be able to f eel if mounting plate is firmly centered on the ins[...]

5. Attach the lo w v oltage wires to terminal screws on back of wall inlet (Figure 35). If using 361 Rough-in with CI370 Series Inlets, ref er to instructions on page 7, step 3, shown in Figure 10. 6.

Also used f or making smooth 90° turns in branch lines or tr unk lines . 45° Elbows – Used f or a[...]

Joining Straight Lengths of T ubing Both branch lines and the trunk lines may require lengths of tubing longer than those 8´ sections supplied. Use stop couplings to join two straight lengths of tubing. Inser t one end of the tubing into the stop coupling; join the second length of tubing into the other end of the stop coupling. Stop couplings are[...]

Circumventing an Obstac le Where ver possib le the branch lines should connect to the trunk line in straight paths. The f e wer turns in a tubing system, the more efficient air flow . Accordingly , you should locate the inlets to av oid zig-zags in the branch lines . But, sometimes, when y ou just can’t av oid an obstacle, you are required to con[...]

Connecting the Low V oltage Wiring Ideally , you will run the wiring and make all the wiring connections after you ha v e completed the tubing system. Of course, the inlet wiring must be run at the time the inlet tubing is threaded through the walls . Run the low v oltage wiring along the trunk line; at appro ximately 12˝-18˝ inter v als , use el[...]

Attach the tubing to the joists or ceiling with either perf orated metal or suppor t str apping (suppor t strapping is av ailab le from NuT one). Make all br anch line connections in the same wa y y ou would an attic installation. Make sure that all branch lines enter the trunk line at an angle that is at least lev elled with the trunk line.
