GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Packard Air Boosters are designed to increase air ow of both hot and cold air in any

forced duct system. They will put more hot or cold air in any room you designate

and can be installed to operate only when you want, thus saving energy. There are

dierent sizes of Air Boosters: 6”, 8”, 10”, 12”, and 14” diameters. They are installed in

the branch duct serving the individual room (not the main supply duct) and perform

beer when installed near the outlet end of the branch duct. Installaon can be

made easily in all ducts (round, square, and rectangular) by following these simple

instrucons. (See Fig. 1)

AIR BOOSTER

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

ROUND DUCTS (SEE FIG. 2)

The housings of Packard Air Boosters are standard 6”, 8”, 10”, 12”, and 14” diameter

ducts with a female receptacle collar on the incoming end and a male crimped collar

on the outgoing end. This allows it to be ed into a standard round duct system.

Separate the exisng system at a joint and cut o a secon from the female end of

the duct. Install the Packard Air Booster in the space provided with the fan blades

nearest the problem room. If separang at a joint isn’t praccal cut out some secon

anywhere in the branch duct. You must “crimp” or make a series of 1” slits in one

end of the cut duct so that it can be tapered to t into the female collar end of the

Packard Air Booster.

The male crimped end of the Packard Air Booster will fit right into the duct on the outgoing side. (See Fig. 3) After installation, seal both ends of the Booster to the existing branch duct with duct tape. MOUNTING INSIDE ROUND, SQUARE OR RECTANGULAR DUCTS 1. Separate the branch duct at a joint if possible and determine the approximate location where the Packard Air Booster will be located inside the duct with the fan blade nearest the room to be helped.

ROUND DUCT (SEE FIG. 4) Select an appropriate position for the location of the Packard Air Booster. To either the left or the right of this position you must now provide an access hole by cutting the existing duct. The access hole should start at least 1 ½” to the left or right of the anticipated booster location. Use Template A to provide the pattern for cutting the access hole. Cut only three sides as indicated. Carefully bend along the uncut side and lift the created door of the access hole.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION The Packard Air booster should be connected to the appropriate power source indicated on the nameplate. This product comes equipped for flexible cord connection which may not be acceptable by local authorities. To conform to local codes, it may be necessary to attach a junction box at the point where the wires extend through the duct. Where this air booster is installed as part of a heating duct system the electrical supply connection should be suitable for 75° C temperature.
