Before Starting the Installation
* Unpack all the components and place
them on a clean surface (mat/sheet).
Check to make sure that you have recieved
all the components specified on the enclosed
parts list. If components are missing,
contact FabricAir, Inc. immediately.
* In order to keep the FabricAir ducts clean,
handle the ducts with clean hands. Make
sure that any tools which might come in
contact with the ducts have been cleaned
before use.
* Make sure that the necessary tools are
available - see the instructions.
* Provide hardware for anchoring - see items
1 & 3 under installation sequence.
* If the ducts are to be installed in a new
building, purge the handling systems and
install the prefilter before installing the
FabricAir ducts. This is done to remove
dust, which would otherwise collect in
the FabricAir duct.

Installation Sequence
1. Attach anchors bolts to the ceiling along
parallel lines offset by a distance which is
identical to the diameter of the duct.
The ordered parts do not include screws as
the type to be used depends o the building
structure/anchor surface.
2. After installing the anchors, stretch the
cables (13) from wall to wall. If the cable
length exceeds 45', install a turnbuckle (5)
at both ends of the duct. A turnbuckle at one
end will usually suffice, however.
Fasten the cable using the supplied cable
locks (14). See fig. A.
3. As it may be difficult to stretch the cable
tightly, it may be necessary to install risers
to support the cable. See fig. B.
4. Install the FabricAir duct. If the duct is
shorter than 30', it will normally be delivered
in one section. If the duct exceeds 30'
it will normally be divided in sections with
zippers.
Button the duct straps onto the cable. If the
duct is divided in sections - begin with the
first section. If the cable is installed with
risers - make sure that the straps will not
interfere with the risers.

5. When all sections are buttoned to
the cable, zip the sections together.
Fasten the duct to the hem end on
the AHU collar with the mounting
belt (17/18).
Follow the above procedure for instal-
ling FabricAir Plenum ducts. Zip the
FabricAir ducts to the FabricAir Plenum
duct.
After Completing the Installation:
Always be sure to give the customer a
copy of the maintenance instructions
and information concerning mainte-
nance intervals.
