Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SPACEPAK from 3G Electric.
What sizes of SPACEPAK hydronic duct coils are available?
SPACEPAK hydronic duct coils are available in several casing sizes, including 14 in x 24 in x 10-1/2 in (AC-WPAK-60), 14 in x 33 in x 10-1/2 in (AC-WPAK-90), and 14 in x 43 in x 10-1/2 in (AC-WPAK-120). Flow capacities range from 0.083 gpm to 5 gpm. These coils are designed for hot water or chilled water applications in ducted HVAC systems. When selecting a coil, match the casing dimensions to the available duct space and verify the flow rate meets the heating or cooling load. 3G Electric lists each coil by manufacturer part number and specifications to aid selection.
What is the SPACEPAK SPS-45-4 plenum elbow used for?
The SPACEPAK SPS-45-4 is a plenum elbow accessory that routes airflow at a 45-degree angle in HVAC plenum systems. It connects ductwork sections where a directional change is needed, helping to reduce turbulence compared to sharper turns. This fitting is typically used in forced-air systems to direct air from a main plenum to branch ducts. It is a non-powered component and must be sized to match the connected duct dimensions. 3G Electric supplies the SPS-45-4 as a standalone part for retrofit or new installation.
Can SPACEPAK flexible duct be used in high-pressure HVAC systems?
SPACEPAK flexible duct, such as the SPC-4 non-insulated duct and AC-ST6-100 insulated duct, is designed for low-pressure HVAC systems. These ducts are suitable for residential and light commercial air distribution where static pressure is typically below 2 inches water column. For high-pressure applications, alternative duct types or additional support may be required. Always verify the pressure rating and installation guidelines for the specific SPACEPAK duct model. 3G Electric provides product specifications to help determine suitability.
What is included in a SPACEPAK plenum take-off kit?
A SPACEPAK plenum take-off kit, such as the AC-TKMR-5, includes components to connect branch ductwork to a main plenum in forced-air HVAC systems. The kit typically contains a take-off collar or fitting and may include mounting hardware. It is used to extract air from the plenum for distribution to individual rooms or zones. The exact contents can vary by kit; refer to the manufacturer part number and description. 3G Electric lists the AC-TKMR-5 as a plenum take-off kit for SPACEPAK systems.
How do I select the right SPACEPAK hydronic coil for my application?
To select a SPACEPAK hydronic coil, determine the required heating or cooling capacity, available duct dimensions, and water flow rate. Measure the duct height, width, and depth to match the coil casing size, such as 14 in x 24 in, 14 in x 33 in, or 14 in x 43 in. Verify the flow capacity (e.g., 5 gpm for AC-WPAK-60 and AC-WPAK-90, 0.083 gpm for AC-WPAK-120) aligns with your system's pump and piping. Consider the entering water temperature and air velocity. 3G Electric can provide specification sheets for each SPACEPAK coil model.
Are SPACEPAK plenum connectors compatible with all flexible duct brands?
SPACEPAK plenum connectors, such as the SPC-38-10, are designed to connect flexible duct runs to a main plenum or air distribution box. Compatibility depends on the duct diameter and connection method. The SPC-38-10 is a connector accessory; it is typically sized to fit standard flexible duct sizes. While SPACEPAK connectors are intended for use with SPACEPAK systems, they may work with other brands if dimensions match. Always verify the connector's inner and outer diameters against your duct. 3G Electric provides dimensional data for SPACEPAK connectors.
