Architectural Sheet Metal Inspection Guide
:: 1st edition, 2004, 52 pages
An invaluable inspection resource for owners of standing seam, batten seam, or Bermuda-type roofs. Presents practical troubleshooting and corrective tips for typical problems of roof panels, gutters, downspouts, fascia, copings, flashing, ridges and hips, valleys, expansion joints, penetrations, fasteners and soldering. Also provides relevant information regarding construction of these architectural elements, the purpose of each, as well as what to look for during periodic inspections. Sealants, moisture transfer methods and air leakage are also covered.

HVAC Duct Construction Standards - Metal & Flexible
:: 3rd edition, 2005, 390 pages
The third edition of the HVAC Duct Construction Standards - Metal & Flexible is primarily for commercial and institutional projects and contains first time ratings for the TDF and the TDC connectors. Schedules have been standardized on “minimum” thickness rather than “nominal” thickness of sheet metal - a major change. The new construction standards contain re-rated rectangular, round, oval and flexible duct constructions for positive or negative pressures up to 10” water gage (2500 Pa). Widths go to 120” in gages 26 to 16. Diameters go to 84” in gages 28 to 16. New performance requirements facilitate equivalent ratings for non-illustrated construction. The data have been reorganized for easy use and reference; includes soft metrics. Other revisions occur in duct liner, hangers, fittings, vanes, dampers, tie rods, joints and tests. Lead shielding has been added. Seal classes, casings, louvers, rooftop vents, sheet gage (thickness) tolerances and accessories are retained. For uncoated steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel and some aluminum ducts. Covers new rectangular duct reinforcement options for using tie rods at mid-panel in lieu of external intermediate reinforcements - as Addendum No. 1, 11/97. Adopted in the 1996, 1998 and 2000 ICC International Mechanical Code.

Round Industrial Duct Construction Standards (RIDCS) Software 2.0
:: 2nd edition, 2002
The introduction of a Microsoft Windows based RIDCS design software package for calculation of construction details eases many of the complicated calculations required in the selection of duct gage and reinforcement alternatives for industrial ducts. The program helps designers of Air Pollution control and industrial ventilation systems in selecting reinforcement alternatives in all areas of industrial duct manufacturing. A Pentium based processor is recommended, but the minimum computer requirements are a 486 processor with a minimum clock speed of 66 MHz running Windows 95 or 98. Includes a hard copy of the Round Industrial Duct Construction Standards. To order please call IHS at 1-800-716-3447.

Seismic Restraint Manual: Guidelines for Mechanical Systems
:: 2nd edition, 1998, 200 pages
This American National Standard is an updated set of flexible guidelines that shows designers and contractors now to determine the correct restraints for sheet metal ducts, piping and conduit, so that they are more likely to remain attached to the building during an earthquake. Shows how very low-risk and very high-risk areas of the country can be easily and equally accommodated. New are additional reader aids, alternate-bracing details, and details for floor supported piping and ductwork. Also included are details for seismic joints in pipes, transverse bracing for steam pipes and a suggested detail for variable air volume terminals. Meets California Building Code, Title 24, Part 2 and California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) standards for seismic requirements for bracing ductwork, piping and conduit. Addendum #1 (September 2000 has been published, which is intended to be utilized in conjunction with the existing structural details in the Seismic Restraint Manual. Purchase of the existing Seismic Restraint Manual will include Addendum #1 (September 2000).” Includes soft metrics.

SMACNA Bubble DVD Destroys Design Myths
:: 2009
The Bubble Video—so called because it uses helium-filled bubbles to visually illustrate airflow through a duct system that is fitted with a clear plastic side—has been revised in modern digital video format. The new video is available on DVD. A number of duct fittings are used to illustrate airflow movement variations through a duct system. The video also references both the SMACNA HVAC Systems Duct Design and HVAC Duct Construction Standard to tie actual airflow performance to the “flat” drawings and commentary within both manuals. The video is intended as an educational tool for designers and engineers to illustrate how good duct design and careful planning to avoid conflicts can be used to improve airflow and reduce one of the largest energy users in commercial-class buildings—HVAC system fan power. The running time for the video is 15 minutes.
