Installation Manual
Thank you for selecting a DuctSox System. This manual will be helpful for the installation of a OvalSox™ Cable System.
Sections of fabric will be labeled, assembled, bagged, and boxed for shipping. More complicated systems will include a
CAD detail of the system identifying what is in each package. NOTE: The DuctSox cable attachment (Glider) is built for
1/8 in (3 mm) cable only.
Overview
Inventory
The first step on any installation project is to read through this guide thoroughly and review the components that need to
be installed. The best way to do this is to review the drawings of the project while reading the guide, including the CAD
detail if applicable.
Shipping/Receiving
In some cases the DuctSox support system is delivered to the job site ahead of the DuctSox fabric sections. Depending
on the size of a project or order, a DuctSox system will be shipped by common courier in a single brown box or several
boxes. Larger orders will be shipped in crates by a common freight courier. Each DuctSox length should be packaged
into individual plastic bags and labeled according to size and number of pieces. Other markings or labeling may also be
incorporated for larger or more complicated systems. Be sure you have determined all boxes are accounted for.
Unpacking
Inspect shipment carefully and make sure all pieces are accounted for. Account for everything by emptying the box and
examining all contents. Note any missing or damaged pieces listed on the Bill of Lading.
Labeling
Each DuctSox section will be marked with the size and section number either inside the belt of the inlet or on a tag
inside the DuctSox near the zipper. The marking shall be the diameter, section length and total length. If custom labeling
has been used, locate an identification sheet that will be included with the delivery.
Equipment Required:
• Drill
• Level
• Tape measure
• Marker or pencil
• Wrenches for cable clamps and eye bolts (5/16 in and 9/16 in)
• Flat (standard) screwdriver
• Cable cutter
