PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 EXAMINATION

A. Examine areas where registers and grilles are installed for compliance with requirements for installation tolerances and other conditions affecting performance of equipment.


3.2 INSTALLATION

A. Install registers and grilles level and plumb.

B. Outlets and Inlets Locations: Drawings indicate general arrangement of ducts, fittings, and accessories. Air outlet and inlet locations have been indicated to achieve design requirements for air volume, noise criteria, airflow pattern, throw, and pressure drop. Make final locations where indicated, as much as practical. For units installed in lay-in ceiling panels, locate units in the center of panel. Where architectural features or other items conflict with installation, notify Architect for a determination of final location.


321

C. Install registers and grilles with airtight connections to ducts and to allow service and

maintenance of dampers, air extractors, and fire dampers. 3.3 ADJUSTING

A. After installation, adjust registers and grilles to air patterns indicated, or as directed, before

starting air balancing. END OF SECTION 233713.23
