TRANSITION 3-1/4" X 10" 90O ELBOW EQUALS 8 FT. OF STRAIGHT DUCT EQUALS 2 FT. OF STRAIGHT DUCT 3. The system will operate most efficiently when the ductwork does not exceed 40 feet of equivalent duct. The chart, above, shows equivalent feet of elbows and transitions. The number of feet of straight duct plus the equivalent feet of transitions and/or elbows to be used should equal 40 feet or less. NOTE: The equivalent feet of various roof and wall caps hasbeen taken into consideration. Do not include them in this calculation. PLAN THE WIRING 1. The downdraft blower system draws 4 AMPS and requires a 120 VAC, 60 Hz circuit. 2. The unit has a 2 ft. long power cord with a 3-pronged plug. Plan to provide a grounded outlet in a location which will allow the unit’s power cord to reach. (Note: If the Model PL30DD is being installed in a 30" wide cabinet or the Model PL36DD is being installed in a 36" wide cabinet, the outlet cannot be located on the back wall of cabinet.) Outlet may also be wall-mounted, with access hole in cabinet. 2 PREPARATION CHANGING BLOWER DISCHARGE (Optional) The blower is shipped with its discharge facing DOWN.
