A closer look

Select a numbered point to see what it is.

Packaged rooftop units on curbs beside a standing-seam metal roof, with piping on supports and a duct fitting on the roof

Rooftop units, piping and roof penetrations

  1. Packaged rooftop unit

    Heating and cooling equipment in one weatherproof cabinet. Air passes down through the roof to the ductwork inside.

  2. Roof curb

    The raised frame the unit sits on. It is flashed into the roofing so the opening through the roof stays watertight.

  3. Pipe penetration

    A pipe passes through the roof here. The cone-shaped boot seals it into the roof membrane.

  4. 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.

  5. Duct fitting

    A galvanized transition fitting waiting to be installed. It changes the size or shape of the duct between two connections.

Rectangular and spiral round ductwork hung beneath the open timber roof structure during construction

Duct mains under the open roof

  1. Rectangular duct

    Sheet-metal duct hung from the structure, branching toward the outlets below.

  2. 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.

  3. Elbow

    The elbow turns the run. Its open end is where the next length of duct connects.

  4. Duct hanger

    Hangers tie the duct to the structure above at regular spacing, so the run stays level and supported.
