Once you have installed all your inlets, you can completethe network of tubing that connects your inlets to thepower unit. This network consists of the following parts:90° Elbows – Used for connectingthe inlet lines to the branch lines.Also used for making smooth 90°turns in branch lines or trunk lines.45° Elbows – Used for a 45°tubing turn in branch or trunk lines.90° Tees – Used to connectbranch lines to the trunk lines.Stop Couplings – Used to jointwo lengths of tubing.Flexible Tubing – Used tobypass obstacles or to make difficultS-turns in branch lines. This tubing issupplied in a 36” length; it is not thesame as the inlet flex tube.PVC Tubing – 8’ straight sectionsof tubing used for inlet, branch, andtrunk lines.Use the tubing and fittings to run branch lines from theinlet tubing to a main trunk line. Begin at the farthest inletfrom the power unit and work your way toward the powerunit. When you assemble sections with elbows and tees,make sure the curve in the fitting is aligned so that the airflows toward the power unit.Assemble the entire network of tubing and fittings, makingsure every joint is accurately cut and aligned. Then, goback and cement all the joints. You may run the wiringand make the wiring connections after the network isassembled and cemented, or you may make the wiringconnections as you assemble the network. Use themethod that best suits your needs.Beginning The Trunk LineStart the inlet line which is farthest from the power unit.Place 90° elbow onto a section of tubing and align it withthe inlet tubing at the height it will run across the atticjoists. Mark the inlet tubing where the elbow will join,allowing 5/8˝ for the tubing that inserts into thefitting’s collar.Now, cut the inlet tubing at the marked line. Make surethe cut is straight and even. Attach the elbow and checkits fit. Then, insert the first section of tubing into the otherend of the elbow.26ASSEMBLING THETUBING SYSTEM
