DUCT CONSTRUCTION
All ductwork will be built to SMACNA guidelines
A\ll ductwork will be built out of G-90 coated galvanized steel of lockforming grade
conforming to ASTM Standards A-525 and A-527, unless otherwise specified. Duct
sides that are 19” and over are 20 gauge or less, with more than 10sq. Ft. of unbraced
panel area shall be beaded 12” on center as in fig. 1-8, page 1-45 of SMACNA HVAC
Duct Construction.
All longitudinal seam will be Pittsburgh seam. (Type L-1) Fig. 1-5 Page 1-40 SMACNA
HVAC Duct Construction.
Also on large duct we may use standing seams for stiffness and seam.
Transverse joint reinforcement will be:

ALTERNATE FLANGE STYLE. The joint may
be formed without the 4" (9.5 mm) flange if the
duct is held Je" (3.2 mm) back from the vertical
face of thé angle and tackwolded to the flange
along the edge of the duct. The angle is otherwise
fastened normally. For additional tightness, place
sealant between the angle and duct or seal the
weld
Ifthe faces of flanges are flush, thick-consistency
sealant may be used in lieu of gasket. Otherwise,
use a gasket suitable for the specific service and
fit it up uniformly to avoid its protruding inside

1.45 COMMENTS
‘There are several proprietary duct connection systems
available and in use. Because such systems are propri-
etary or have proprietary elements, SMACNA does
not evaluate or grade them. However, SMACNA does
encourage the developmentand use of new technology
and it invites authorities to consider alternative
constructions. Authorities may evaluate alternatives
using analyses and tests suchas those described in Sec-
tion VII of the standards or using other means they
deem appropriate. Consult the manufacturers of alter-
native systems for ratings, assembly requirements and
recommendations,
Note that joints previously shown in eatlier editions
can still be used. T-4, 9, 17, 18, 19, 20, nd 23, omitted
due to infrequent use, may still beused per the firstedi-
tion if acceptable to the specifying authority.

DESCRIPTION
All ait duct installations for heating, cooling or ventilation are
attached to mechanical equipment containing a tan or blower.
Vibrations, noises and rattles resulting from operation of the fan
or blower are transmitted into the metal ducts which carry the
noises throughaut the system.
In order to isolate the vibration and noises to the source, an.
air-tight flexible joint, consisting ofa fabric which is attached to
sheet metal on both sides, must be inserted between the equip
ment and the ductwork: This vibration isolator is called a
