1. Size Limitations
Continuous runs may be specified in virtually any length over 12 inches, but individual units are limited to a 72-inch
maximum length.
2. Product Measurement
Whether single-length diffusers or continuous runs, surface mount (SM) Series
6000 and 6500 units are to be specified
according to the standard nominal (neck)
dimensions. In the case of T-bar (TB) layin or concealed-spline (CS) ceiling applications, the ceiling module size is to be
specified. Continuous run specifications
other than straight lengths should include
a drawing indicating configuration of
units, mitered corners, end caps, etc.
3. Standard Product Features
In the absence of complete product
specifications, it will be assumed that the
diffuser application is for surface mounting and the given length is the nominal
(neck) dimensions. Two end caps (one
on each end), pattern controller, damper,
and OWB finish are also included as
standards unless specified otherwise.
4. Mitered Corner Sections
Corner sections are available only in horizontal miters. Specify the degree of
elbow in accordance with the inside
(included) angle of the neck (see page
22 for details).

5. Type BP Plenum
Sections of continuous diffuser runs with
dampers and plenums must be fabricated to the same nominal lengths as
the plenum lengths to prevent interference of the damper blade with the plenum end cap. Submit a drawing detailing
locations of plenums on active sections,
similar to example 4.
6. Continuous Run Component Lengths
Unless otherwise specified, the factory
reserves the right to determine the
length of individual diffuser sections
making up a continuous run installation.
