Help needed on HVAC Notes.
« on: May 16, 2008, 12:10:00 PM »
Not sure if this is the correct forum.
I usually have nothing to do with the mechanical sheet but this home is the exception.

Thanks Dommy.

John,
Residential Heatpump with a flex duct system.
Used to be the Owl system but the newer multi take off duct junctions.
It has a Fiberglass box at the return & supply at the AHU, larger main supply duct enters another fiberglass box where several smaller ducts run to registers.

*blink-blink* holly cow!

Static pressure must be a bear! You got a manufacture? Check to see their max lengths and make sure your not over steeping those bonds. Other then that:
Add note to ``install per manuf. recommendations''
#3 ??Add the word program??
#4 Use something like: ``coordinate with other trades prior to instillation'' in lieu of just coord with elect.

Let me copy those notes and edit them. There are more i would like to modify.
