Air Handler in conditioned space? X❑ yes❑ no Air Handler present during test? ®yep ❑ no
Circle Test Method: Leakage to Outside Total Leakage
Maximum duct leakage:
Post Construction,total duct leakage: (floor area x.08) = CFM@25 Pa
Post Construction, leakage to outdoors: (floor area x.06) = CFM@25 Pa
Rough-In,total duct leakage with air handler installed: (floor area x.06) = 1QCFM@25 Pa
Rough-In,total duct leakage with air handler not installed: (floor area x .04)= CFM@25 Pa
Test Result: CFM@25Pa
Ring (circle one if applicable): Open 1 2 3
Duct Tester Location: closest return to FAU Pressure Tap Location: closest supply to FAU
I certify that these duct leakage rates are accurate and determined using standard duct testing protocol.
