6 0 60 1 4 to 72 dia.
This support can meet nearly all height requirements above the roof surface and is approved for seismic and high wind applications.
5 0 48 1 4 to 60 dia.
4 0 36 1 4 to 48 dia.
Php d enclosed duct support.
2 0 12 1 4 to 24 dia.
These goalpost type duct supports used for ducting on a flat roof are fabricated from angle iron for small ducts and from channel iron for very large ducts.
Consideration must be given with restraining ducts to avoid development of excessive internal duct stresses caused by expansion or contraction due to temperature variations.
Also offsets are elbows.
Support systems for ductwork may provide restraint in three directions against displacement and rotation.
3 0 24 1 4 to 36 dia.
Sometimes concrete pads are placed under each foot.
Use one hand to keep the two edges close and the other to apply downward pressure.
A foot pad must be provided for each leg to prevent the support from cutting into the waterproofing membrane.
7 0 72 1 4 to 84 dia.
Up to 12 diameter.
Assemble the metal ducting like a zipper.
Use an intermediate support on elbows where the center line length plus 4 0 is greater than the support spacing for the duct type.
