Installation and Suspension Systems |
||||
Euro air TBV systems can be supplied with different suspension systems which can be fitted to any type of ceiling. They are supplied in standards lengths to be trimmed on site to the same length as the textile duct. They are also packaged with the necessary fixing components. As a rough guide, two men with good access should be able to install up to 30 metres / day, making installation costs of our systems substantially less than metal alternatives. |

Flexibility and tailored products are the hallmark of our TBV solutions. This allows you to freely choose the size that best suits your design rather than having to be tied to a particular number of standard solutions. In planning your system you will be able to select almost any layout, colour, offsets, elbows, sockets and materials. We will help you to assess whether your system should be based around a passive ( low impulse ), semi-active ( hybrid ) or active ( high impulse ) model. |

Our Flexrail suspension system is very versatile. We
normally use this rail together with one the three
standard options mentioned below:
1. Strap-up’s (steel wire with loop one end, M6 Eye bolt
other end). Strap-up’s are intended for hanging the
rail into the room, by screwing a hook to the ceiling
(hooks not supplied by Air Sox™). Our standard
Flexrail connector is used in conjunction with the
strap-up’s, this connector has a hole tapped M6 on
the upper side.
2. Threaded beam (M6 threaded beam with matching
threaded beam connector and M6 ceiling bracket).
This item is also intended for dropping rail into
room, but gives a more rigid result than by the strapup’s.
Again the standard Flexrail connector is used,
with the M6 tapped hole.
a small wing for fixing directly onto ceiling.
- For all of the above an anchor point must be
established for every 6’ 6”. In these anchor points a
strap-up/Threaded beam/ceiling connector is fitted,
depending on which type is better suited for the
particular application.
- Flexrail is fitted to connectors at anchor points
- *The Fasttrack sewn into the duct is fed into to
Flexrail opening, after which the duct can be pushed/
pulled onto the rail.
- The duct is fixed to the steel duct/fan using a clamp.
If “Luxe type bottom” has been ordered, 1 piece “mini
cleat” will also follow per duct. The cleat is mounted
directly onto the rail at the end where the bottom will
be located (cleat fitted using the included flat nuts and
screws). When “Luxe type bottom” is ordered, the duct
itself is fitted with a pull cord, located near the bottom
of the duct. This cord is to be pulled tight after fitting
the duct to the rail, after which it can be locked into the
cleat. Finish by shortening the cord as needed.
* If you have ordered our special “Fasttrack feeder for
Flexrail”, this is inserted into the side groove of the
Flexrail, before feeding the Fasttrack into the rail. The
duct can now be pulled onto the rail with an absolute
minimum of effort.
Installing round ducts with Fasttrack onto ceiling
mounted Wingrail
- Attach Wingrail to ceiling using screws for every
1-3 foot depending on type of ceiling and size of
duct. Note: the wing on the rail has a groove for
lining up when drilling the holes needed in the
rail.
- Sections of Wingrail is joined by sliding the
Wingrail connector into the side groove of the
rail, and then tightening the allen screws. When
tightening the allen screws, the 2 sections of rail
will self-align.
- The Fasttrack cord fitted to the duct is slid into the
rail opening, and can now be pushed/pulled into
the rail. If you have ordered our special Fasttrack
feeder tool, this must be fitted into the side
groove prior to sliding the duct into the rail. Using
the special feeder tool the duct can be pulled onto
the rail very easily with a minimum use of force.
- The duct is fixed to the steel duct or fan using
clamp.
- If “Luxe bottom” was ordered you will also have
received a small cleat (stamped Mini cleat) per
duct. This cleat is mounted directly onto the rail,
at the end of the rail where the bottom of the
duct will be located. The cleat is fitted using the
included special flat nuts and bolts. When the
ducts are ordered with the “Luxe type bottom”
the ducts have a pull cord attached at the bottom
end. This cord is pulled tight and fixed into the
cleat. Following this, the cord can be shortened as
needed.
As well as wingrail, flexrail can also be used for D Ducts.
Installing round outlets on single- or double
horizontal cable
- Suspend main horizontal cable at desired height ,
using turnbuckle(s) and wire locknuts.
- Attach 1 pcs. strap-up to overhead anchor point
for every 5 meters of outlet, and fasten strap-up to
main wire to maintain a straight and level run.
- Mount the outlet to the cable using the sewn-in
clips fitted to the outlet
- Fix outlet to steel duct / Fan opening using steel-
or textile clamp
- Stretch the outlet to fully extended position, and
fix the last clip to the main wire using wire lock
nut.
- Outlets with diameters Ø800 or larger must be
mounted on two parallel main wires. If this is
not adhered to, Euro Air A/S will not warrant
claims involving clips/wire/strap-up’s or any other
products involved mounting the outlets. We
normally advise customers to use double cable
suspension for diameters Ø630 and upwards, due
to aesthetics and to minimize the drop that will
occur if a single row suspended outlet is deflated.
