Static field route #427

What do I do when too many sharp elbows increase pressure loss?

Airflow/TAB Impacts From InstallationV136 field-polished — distinct TAB/airflow answer

Too many hard turns add pressure loss. Count the elbows/offsets in the run and ask before adding another turn that could make TAB fight the system.

Field checklist

This route needs [number] elbows/turns to fit. Do you want this routing, or should we get a cleaner path before I install it?

Do not stack elbows just because the duct can be forced through the space.

Each sharp turn steals pressure. The air may still move, but the fan and TAB tech have less room to make the design work.
