Step 4. Install the Inlet Tube
The inlet tube (shown in Figure 3) is identified by a series

of air inlet holes on the tube. This tube must be purchased separately. Order the correct length, as specified in Table 1, for the width of the duct where it will be installed. The exhaust tube is molded into the base of the duct housing.
The inlet tube is always installed in the right house bush- ing, with the air inlet holes facing into the air flow. To assure proper installation, the tube mounting flange is marked with arrows. Mount the inlet tube so that the arrows point into the air flow. Figure 4 shows the various combinations of tube mounting configurations with respect to air flow.

A. Installation for Ducts Less Than 8 Feet Wide
1.If the inlet tube is longer than the width of the air duct, drill a
If the inlet tube is shorter than the width of the air duct, install the end cap into the inlet tube (see Figure 3).
2.Slide the inlet tube into the right housing bushing. Position the tube so that the arrows point into the air flow.
3.Secure the tube flange to the housing bushing with the two #6
4.For tubes longer than the width of the air duct, the tube should extend out of the opposite side of the duct. If
there are more than 2 holes in the section of the tube extending out of the duct, select a different tube length using Table 1. Otherwise, trim the end of the tube pro- truding through the duct so that 1 to 2 inches of the tube extends outside the duct. Plug this end with the tube end plug and tape closed any holes in the protruding section of the tube. Be sure to seal the duct when the tube protrudes.
5.Any inlet tube over 3 feet long must be supported on the opposite side of the duct detector housing.
