Seal-tite 81200-24242414 Return Air Package

Product Description

The SEAL-TITE 81200-24242414 is a return air package designed for residential and light commercial HVAC systems. This package provides the components needed to properly route return air back to the air handler or furnace, supporting balanced system airflow and efficient operation. The 81200-24242414 transitions from a 24-inch by 24.25-inch opening to a 24-inch by 14-inch opening, making it well suited for installations where a size reduction is required in the return air pathway. Licensed HVAC technicians typically source this package when building out or replacing a return air assembly.

This return air package is used in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC installations where the return air duct must step down in size between the grille opening and the air handler cabinet or plenum. The transition from 24 inches by 24.25 inches down to 24 inches by 14 inches is a common configuration in residential construction, particularly in applications where vertical or horizontal return drops connect to undersized equipment cabinets.

Key Features

• Transitions from a 24-inch by 24.25-inch opening to a 24-inch by 14-inch opening
• Designed for return air applications in forced-air HVAC systems
• Packaged assembly for streamlined installation on the job site

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style return air package for forced-air HVAC systems requiring a transition from a 24-inch by 24.25-inch return opening to a 24-inch by 14-inch duct or cabinet connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local mechanical codes and SMACNA duct construction standards. Power down the HVAC system at the disconnect and thermostat before beginning any duct or air handler work. Ensure all joints and seams are sealed with approved mastic or metal-backed tape to prevent return air leakage. Do not use the return air pathway to carry structural loads.
