I have a 12" round main trunk that is reduced to 8" about 6 feet from the furnace. The 8" is taken from a hole in the end cap on the 12" main. I guess those are called shortway reducers. The 8" trunk is about 1" off center. I can feel warm air coming out of the vents connected to the 8" pipe, but there is no force. Those connected to the 12" main do send air out with some force. I am thinking this is due to the hole in the cap eccentric reducer because the air hits a 3" wall on the cap..
I am thinking of replacing this shortway reducer with a proper tapering reducer, with a 1" off center. These reducers have 2" collars and a 4' tapered mid section. So, I need to cut the 8" to make a 4" gap between the two trunk sections, right? I can push the 8" aside to put the collar on the 12" main. How do I insert the other end of the reducer into the 8" trunk? Do I have to dismantle the entire 8" trunk? Would appreciate your thoughts. Thank you.
Hello,
We recently moved into this home. The system has 4 zones, gas force air with central air that is original to the home so 20 years.
I have a few questions maybe someone can assist with.
1. I was walking checking the returns to see if i could feel they were drawing air in. I couldn't tell by feeling. Is this normal and if so, is there another way to confirm they are working? What triggered this was we turned the fireplace on on the main level and the upstairs was hot so was hoping it was pulling that back into the system and recirculating.
2. I noticed when looking at the furnace where the returns come into the system it is like a cardboard type material that seems to form the box for the return. is that normal? There were some 1/8" gaps between it so not sure if that is making it less efficient.
3. It seems that if i turn the fan on in one zone the fan comes full on at the furnace. It seems if that is the case i should just as well have it working on all zones?
4. If the above is accurate, is there a way to control all zones from a single location?
Thanks for the help.
HI Folks,
I have an April Aire 600 Humidifier and a Carrier 59TP6B Furnace and the wiring diagram that came with the Humidifier does not work. It is straight forward but I must be missing something, I have the Model 60 Humidistat, does anybody have a good wiring diagram for me. Any help is much appreciated as AprilAire offer no support at all.
This Diagram Produces No Result, no voltage is sent to the Solenoid.
