Air Handling Performance
Paraline Air Paraline standard air boots with one- and two-directional air-deflecting labyrinths are designed for use with Diffuser Paraline ceiling systems, using the reveal between pans for air distribution. Assemblies snap onto pans above the ceiling line, concealed from view. Air boots are available in two-, three-, four, six- and eight-slot configurations to meet various air volume and distribution needs.
To use air-handling equipment with Paraline II pans, the flanges must be trimmed to open the reveal.
Standard Features
– Lined with 1/2, 1-1/2 lb. density glass fiber insulation for acoustical performance and thermal insulation. – Air boot supported by Paraline suspension system for simple, easy installation. – Resilient gasketing around base of boot prevents air leakage. – One- and two-directional configurations available.
Options
– Alternative collar sizes available for each boot. – Butterfly damper in collar. – Face-operable collar damper. Air Boot 2-Slot 3-Slot 4-Slot 6-Slot 8-Slot

Fire-Rated Air Boot
Fire-rated Paraline ceilings require a specially designed air boot. The boot integrates fully with Paraline ceiling designs and has been tested and approved by Underwriters Laboratories under UL Design D-218. Note: If compliance with UL-555 is required, a fusible-linked damper will be needed between the air boot and supply duct. Features
– Galvanized sheet metal construction to resist corrosion. – Lined with 1/2 neoprene-coated glass fiber insulation (1-1/2 lbs./cu. ft. density) permanently bonded to the interior for acoustical performance and fire-rated insulating capacity. – Directly supported by Paralock suspension system for fire-rated construction. – Direction and volume controlled with face-operable weirs. – Equipped with 6 or 8 diameter side-entry inlet collar.
