The linear slot diffuser is placed on the structural T-bars with the mounting feet resting on the flanges. The cross member fits in a slot in the diffuser air opening, aligning the unit with the ceiling tile pattern.

The weight of the linear slot diffuser is partially carried by the T-bar structure, but should also be augmented by hanger wires to ensure a vertical orientation and provide additional weight support.

After the diffuser is mounted, ceiling tiles are trimmed and laid in place, completing the job.

The fan begins to “ride up” the constant-speedperformance curve, from the design operating point A, trying to reach the balance point with this new system resistance curve.
