Duct Fabrication End Style

This section describes the Duct Fabrication End Style tables and how you can customize them. The Flexible Duct Fabrication End Style is also described.

This page discusses:

Overview

This section provides a brief overview of the Duct Fabrication End Style tables.

The Duct Fabrication End Style table allows selection of end style depending upon the standard and material.

In Data Setup, this table should be assigned to:

  • when using file-based tables, the Duct Fabrication End Style item in the resource table of HVAC Design Resources.
  • when using engineering specifications objects, a specification in the resource table of HVAC Specification Resources.

Table Description

This section describes the customization options of the Duct Fabrication End Style table.
