We didn’t ask you to finish all the individual branches, but in this case there would be short stubs of 10” duct to each linear diffuser. What is missing from this engineered drawing is the volume damper for each linear diffuser but don’t worry about that now, just remember to add one in a real estimate as they are required to balance the air to each linear diffuser.

Low Pressure Supply – Option 2

We added an optional method of estimating the previous image as shown below with our modifications. Fittings #6, #8 and #10 will be eliminated and #16 will be added in their place, including item #17. Can you identify the newly added fittings #16 & 17?
