1. Route environmental air exhaust ducts inside a shaft when passing through a duct or plenum.
2. Install a second duct around the environmental air exhaust duct where passing through ducts and plenums
to minimize leakage to the duct or plenum. Seal both ends of the outer duct to outside.
3. Seal the environmental air exhaust ducts along all seams and joints using a listed low to medium pressure
duct sealant which is typically applied by brush, trowel or caulking gun. Install sealant per manufacturer's
recommendations.
4. Provide flexible duct with no seams in the duct or plenum only to a limit of 8'. The 8' limit is due to high
static losses. Also, sleeving the metal duct with flexible seamless duct is acceptable.
