Rooftop units, piping and roof penetrations
- Packaged rooftop unit
Heating and cooling equipment in one weatherproof cabinet. Air passes down through the roof to the ductwork inside.
- Roof curb
The raised frame the unit sits on. It is flashed into the roofing so the opening through the roof stays watertight.
- Pipe penetration
A pipe passes through the roof here. The cone-shaped boot seals it into the roof membrane.
- Piping on roof supports
Black steel piping runs to the units on pipe stands, so it sits above the roof surface rather than on it.
- Duct fitting
A galvanized transition fitting waiting to be installed. It changes the size or shape of the duct between two connections.

Duct mains under the open roof
- Rectangular duct
Sheet-metal duct hung from the structure, branching toward the outlets below.
- Spiral round duct
A round main made from spiral-seamed sheet metal. It is stiff and tight, and often left exposed in open ceilings like this one.
- Elbow
The elbow turns the run. Its open end is where the next length of duct connects.
- Duct hanger
Hangers tie the duct to the structure above at regular spacing, so the run stays level and supported.
