The following duct sizes are based on a fraction drop of inches per feet of lineal duct. This "Equal-Friction" method of duct sizing should be adequate for normal residential furnace heating and air conditioning applications. Larger volumes or higher static pressures should be dealt with on an individual job basis. Rules of Duct Design (ACCA Manual D – Residential Duct Systems) RETURN DUCT SYSTEMS. Distributed Return.
