    1.7 DUCT SEALING COMMENTARY Ducts musthe sufficiently aright to ensure economical and quiet performance of the system, It must be recognized that airtghiness in ducts eannot, and need not, beabsolue (a itmustbe ina waterpipingsystem). Codes normally require that ucts be reasonably irtght. Concerns for energy conservation, humidity control, space temperature control, room air movement, ventilation, maintenance, etc, necessitate regulating leakage by prescriptive measures in construction standards. Leakage is largely a function of static pressure and the amount of leakage in a system is Signticamly related tosystemsize. Adequate aiighiness can normally be ensured by a) selecting astatic pressure, constriction class suitable forthe operating condition, and b) sealing the ductwork properly. ‘Thedesignerisresponsiblefordeterminingthe pressure class or classes required for duct construction and for evaluating the amount of scaling necessary to achieve system performance objectives. It recommended that all duct constructed for the (250 Pa) and 1/2" (125 Pa) pressure class meet Seal Class C. However, because designers sometimes deem leakage in unsealed ducts not to have adverse effects, the sealing ofall ducts in the 1" 250 Pa) and 1/2" (125 Pa) pressure class is not required by this ‘construction manual. Designers occasionally exempt the following from sealingrequirements: small systems, residential occupancies, ducts located directly inthe zones they serve, duets that have short runs from Volume control boxes to diffusers, certain return air ceiling plenum applications, etc. When Seal Class C istoapply toall 1"(250 Pa)and 1/2" (125 Pa) pressure
