Duc-pac 180020 Duct Panning Sheet 17x36 Inches

Product Description

The DUC-PAC 180020 is a prefabricated duct panning sheet designed for use in forced air HVAC systems. Measuring 17 inches by 36 inches per sheet, it serves as a return air panning solution typically installed along joist bays to form low-profile return air pathways. Licensed HVAC installers use panning sheets to convert structural cavities into functional return air channels, reducing the need for round or rectangular sheet metal ductwork in tight spaces. DUC-PAC manufactures this product with a background rooted in professional HVAC installation, shaping its line around the practical needs of those who design and install these systems.

This panning sheet is suited for residential forced air system installations where joist-bay returns are preferred or required by the layout. It is particularly common in new construction and retrofit scenarios where space constraints make traditional duct runs impractical. The 17-inch by 36-inch format is sized to fit standard framing cavities and is intended for use by HVAC technicians and sheet metal installers working on ducted air distribution systems.

Installation Notes

Panning sheet installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or sheet metal workers. Before beginning work, shut down the air handling unit and confirm the system is de-energized. Panning must be sealed at all edges and joints to prevent air leakage, in accordance with applicable mechanical codes such as the International Mechanical Code. Avoid leaving unsealed gaps at joist hangers, fasteners, or transitions to main duct trunk lines.
