your cabinet/wall.
4.
Do not use flex ducting.
5.
COLD WEATHER installations should have an
additional backdraft damper that is already
installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a
nonmetallic thermal break to minimize
conduction of outside temperatures as part
of the ductwork. The damper should be
on the cold air side of the thermal break.
The break should be as close as possible
to where the ducting enters the heated portion
of the house.
6.
Make up air: Local building codes may require the
use of Make-Up Air Systems when using Ducted
Ventilation Systems greater than specified CFM of
air movement.
The specified CFM varies from locale to locale.
Consult your HVAC professional for specific
requirements in your area.
