Metal Zinc (16X25X3) Plenum P162536-R6-1-0

The Metal Zinc P162536-R6-1-0 is a 16 by 25 by 36 inch insulated plenum with R-6 insulation, for furnace and air handler connections.

The 16 by 25 inch cross section corresponds to equipment with a filter rack or outlet of that dimension, which is a very common configuration in residential furnaces, since 16 by 25 inch is one of the standard filter sizes.

That correspondence is not accidental. Where the plenum matches the equipment's filter or outlet dimension directly, no transition is required, the connection can be sealed cleanly, and the full cross section is available for airflow. Field fabricated transitions introduce turbulence at the highest velocity point in the system, add joints in the location where leakage is proportionally most costly, and are frequently made too abruptly to work well.

The 36 inch height gives room for branch takeoffs and provides development length for air leaving the blower to spread across the plenum before reaching them, which is what makes a system balanceable.

R-6 insulation reduces thermal loss, keeps the exterior surface above dew point in cooling operation so condensation does not form, and absorbs blower noise at its source.

Seal the equipment connection and every seam with mastic or approved tape, and support the plenum independently of the equipment cabinet.

Applications include residential and light commercial furnaces, air handlers, and fan coils.
