    This document provides duct sizing guidelines for residential heating and air conditioning systems. It lists recommended duct sizes for different cubic feet per minute (CFM) of air flow using both rectangular and round ducts. The duct sizing is based on a 0.10 inch friction drop per 100 feet of duct. Larger systems or those with higher static pressures may require custom sizing. Additional information is given on proper duct installation practices.

    Residential Duct Sizing Guide

    The following duct sizes are based on a fraction drop of .10 inches per 100 feet of lineal duct.
    This "Equal-Friction" method of duct sizing should be adequate for normal residential furnace
    heating and air conditioning applications. Larger volumes or higher static pressures should be
    dealt with on an individual job basis.

    HELPFUL BASIC INFORMATION:


    When Cooling: You must have 400 CFM of air flow per Ton of A/C (1 Ton equals 12,000 BTU)
    Approximately 1 CFM of air is required to heat or cool 1 to 1.25 sq. ft. of floor area.

    Duct Work
    Supplies are located on outside walls.
    Returns are located on inside walls. They should not be located in the same area as the furnace, nor
    should they be located by moisture sources such as kitchens or bathrooms.
    Return Air CFM must be equal or greater than Supply Air CFM.
    Wyes commonly reduce.
    Tees split, but do not reduce, and an appropriate reducer must be added.
    Dampers on take-off duct runs allow for adjustments of air distribution.
    In order to maintain velocity, reduce duct size.
    Never locate ducts at the end of the trunk line run. Last take-off run to be located 12" - 18" from end.
    Always stagger take-off ducts by 12" to maintain pressure.
    Use insulated duct or duct board in unheated spaces.
    Flexible duct work must be stretched tightly for maximum air flow.
