How to Determine Capacity
SMACNA Verified
DROP
LENGTH
DIMENSION “A”
1/4” OF DUCT DIAMETER
ROUND DUCT
36” & SMALLER
Dimension A must be at least 1/4 of the
duct diameter.
Once the cables are attached to the structure no
additional tools are required for installation.
Example:
12” Duct—Dimension A = 4”
How to determine the Wedgy Complete Assembly Capacity
Step 1:
A) Determine the capacity of the attachment to structure. (Listed in column A or on
Pages A1‐A5 of the Product Manual)
B) Determine the Cable Assembly Capacity.
