Introduction
Knauf.Insulation.presents.this.manual.to.provide.an.in-depth. overview.of.fabrication.techniques.using.Knauf.Air.Duct.Board.. This.manual.addresses.the.principles.of.Modular.Duct.Construction.(MDC).applied.to.the.fabrication.of.straight.runs,.elbows,.tees,. reducers,.offsets,.tap-ins,.and.other.connections..Other.topics.such. as.reinforcement,.hangers,.and.damage.repair.are.also.presented,. making.this.manual.a.comprehensive.shop.reference. Techniques.reviewed.include.both.hand.fabrication.and.the.use.of. grooving.machines..Modified.Shiplap.and.V-groove.construction. are.both.presented..Techniques.are.applicable.for.Knauf.EI-475.Air. Duct.Board.and.Air.Duct.Board-M.as.well.as.heavy-duty.EI-800.Air. Duct.Board.and.Air.Duct.Board-M. Knauf.Insulation.recommends.that.the.fabricator.use.the.modified.shiplap.method,.as.it.provides.for.a.stronger.corner.joint.that. squares.up.easily..Also,.using.modified.shiplap.construction. enables.all.longitudinal.and.circumferential.joints.to.be. compatible..Tap-in.joints.are.the.same.as.section. joints,.and.fittings.can.be.added.to.any.section. of.duct,.eliminating.one.circumferential.joint.. Therefore,.for.overall.ease.of.fabrication,. Knauf.Insulation.recommends.the.fabricator. use.the.modified.shiplap.rather.than.V-groove. method.of.fabrication..In.the.case.of.2".Air. Duct.Board,.however,.either.method.could.be. used..This.is.because.machine.tools.are.currently. only.available.in.the.V-groove.configuration.while.hand. tools.are.available.for.shiplap.fabrication..Also,.2".Air.Duct.Board. is.currently.available.only.with.a.butt.edge..Therefore,.especially. for.circumferential.joints,.the.fabricator.must.manually.put.male. and.female.shiplaps.on.opposite.sides.of.the.board.after.grooving. longitudinal.cuts.

Moisture Control The.following.precautions.should.be.taken.to.avoid.soaking.the. duct.board.with.liquid.water: . 1.. When.using.either.evaporative.coolers.or.humidifiers,.the. . immediate.area.around.the.device.introducing.water.into. the.system.should.be.protected.by.using.a.drip.pan.and.. a.protective.sheet.metal.sleeve. 2... . oth.supply.and.return.outlets.of.duct.systems.running. B through.non-conditioned.space.and.used.for.cooling.only. must.be.tightly.closed.to.prevent.accumulation.of.condensed.water.vapor.in.the.duct.system.during.the.heating. season. 3.. Fibrous.glass.duct.materials.that.have.become.wet.at.the. . job-site.before.or.during.installation.should.not.be.installed.. Duct.systems.which,.in.service,.are.found.to.be.wet.should. be.replaced..Consult.the.local.Knauf.sales.. representative.for.further.information.

Example 1: When facing damage is up to 12" wide, apply approved closure material.so.that.it.extends.at.least.1".beyond.all.sides.of.the. damage. Example.1 Example 2: When facing damage is more than 12" wide but less than the width.of.the.closure.tape,.smooth.facing.and.apply.a.double.layer. of.closure.material.so.the.second.layer.extends.at.least.1".beyond. all.edges.of.the.first.layer.
