Perimeter Trough for Heating and Cooling
A Perimeter Trough provides a method to both heat and cool
a buildings perimeter within the same housing for maximum
efficiency and plenum utilization.
The standard trough is designed to house a 4-1/4 field supplied fin tube for heating which directs a steady flow of warm
air to the buildings skin. The air is directed through an aluminum linear bar grille along the building perimeter. For
optional cooling, the trough is available with flanged rectangular or circular openings for introduction of conditioned air.
Custom configurations are available upon request but please
be very specific in your requirements.
For ease of installation, the trough is self supported by standard flat head pedestals which are locked into position on
the bottom of the housing. This allows the trough to be
installed before the access floor is installed to facilitate
plumbing and other contracting.
With the increased focus on underfloor air and indoor air
quality, we are very excited about the opportunity to introduce new products such as this and further promote the use
of underfloor air and access flooring.
