Read Installation Tips for installing the Vallox BlueSky Air Distribution System.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is sensible to design and install the flexible Vallox BlueSky duct system in a “star shape”. When this is done, the ductwork becomes symmetrical and as short as possible, which means that no extra costs are incurred. To speed up installation, the dimensioning of the ductwork can be first done on the floor. After that the pipes and their distribution boxes can be lifted and attached to the ceiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The distribution boxes, valve coupling units and TINO-D series valves have suitable outlet collars for the BlueSky duct. To make the coupling tight, a sealing ring is put at the end of the duct, in the first groove between the ridges. We recommend moistening the sealing ring with water before installation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After installation and before taking the pipes into use the pipe ends have to be protected against dust and other dirt with the supplied shield caps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is recommended to install the BlueSky ductwork wholly outside or wholly inside the vapour barrier in order to make the vapour barrier as tight as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Installation in suspensions or enclosures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When the ducts are in a warm room, no thermal insulation is needed. If cooled air is carried in the ducts, the ducts have to be insulated against condensation.<\/p>\n\n\n

Attic floor installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When a pipe is installed in attic floor insulation, it is recommended to do the installation right on top of the vapour barrier. When this is the case, the pipes do not need any additional insulation, for the attic floor insulation is enough for insulating the duct as well. The penetration of the vapour barrier is insulated.<\/p>\n\n\n

      The Vallox BlueSky ductwork is installed among concrete reinforcement or thin-shell slab and fixed to the concrete reinforcement with cable ties. After the duct and other HVAC installations have been done, other necessary skin reinforcement is applied before concrete pouring.<\/p>\n\n\n

      Supporting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      The Vallox BlueSky ducts are supported in the immediate vicinity of all joints and on both sides of the connector outlet. There is no need to support the duct in any other place unless the method of installation so requires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
