INDRODUCTION

FlowBar is an architecturally designed high capacity linear slot diffuser. It is designed to combine a high air
handling capacity with maximum flexibility and is suitable for either ceiling or sidewall applications. The
flexibility of the system can blend into a design or provide contrast with its striking but simple design.
FlowBar is a flexible system thatcan provide straight lines or curves to blend with other architectural
elements and enhance the overall concept of the project.

Ceiling Mounted High Throw Wall Mounted Jet Throw

INSTALLATION TECNALCO

STANDARD INSTALLATION DETAILS

- HIGH THROW (HT) & JET THROW (JT)

UHC Upper Hanger Clip

The upper hanger clip is used to suspend the FlowBar assembly from the structure. The clip is designed to
utilize standard ceiling hanger wire. UHC is for 1 slot only and TFB-10, 15, 20, 25 and 30.

H3 Hard Ceiling Clip

The H3 hard ceiling clip can be used to mount the FlowBar assembly when a standard plasterboard ceiling
is required.

Spline Support Clip

The SS1 spline clip is also used to adjoin multiple sections of FlowBar when continuous lengths are desired.
