2. Turning Vanes
• If the media air cleaner is installed next to an elbow
or angel fitting, add turning vanes inside the angle to
distribute airflow more evenly across the face of the
media. See Fig. 13.
• Turning vanes must be properly secured to prevent
movement.
3. Duct Offsets
• If the duct connection to the furnace in a side
installation is less than 7 in. you will need to add an
offset. See Fig. 14.
• Turning vanes may be required to distribute air flow
evenly.

media.
