Field Controls 46120002 Air Booster
For hvac contractors managing airflow imbalances in residential or commercial systems, the Field Controls 46120002 Air Booster (Model AB-8) provides a rugged, high-performance solution. Engineered specifically for 8-inch round ductwork, including both rigid metal and flexible varieties, this inline duct booster fan effectively increases delivery to under-served rooms. Operating at a high-speed 3000 RPM, the heavy-duty motor generates up to 425 CFM, significantly outperforming standard register fans. This unit is designed for 120V AC single-phase branch duct installations and should be wired in parallel with the primary furnace or air handler blower for synchronized operation. The compact housing requires a standard junction box for terminal connections and is rated for temperatures up to 160°F (occasionally 180°F depending on source, but 160°F is standard for AB-8). This 8" duct booster is an essential component for correcting "cold spots" or "hot rooms" caused by long duct runs or high static pressure without necessitating a complete system redesign.
Key Benefits:- Enhanced Airflow Management: Delivers a maximum 425 CFM to overcome static pressure in extended 8-inch residential branch ducts.
- Durable Construction: Features a heavy-duty, thermally protected 3000 RPM motor designed for long-term reliability in high-demand environments.
- Seamless Integration: Compatible with both flexible and rigid metal ducts, allowing for versatile placement within the attic or crawlspace.
- Energy Efficient: Drawing only 0.8 Amps (45 Watts), it provides a low-draw mechanical boost to improve seasonal comfort levels.
- Simplified Installation: Mounts directly into the duct wall with a deflector plate for efficient directional air movement.
- Where should I install the AB-8 for the best performance? For maximum efficiency, locate the booster near the outlet end of the problem branch duct, ensuring the deflector plate is pointing in the direction of the airflow.
- Can this be used with variable speed blowers? No, this unit should not be wired to variable speed motors or solid-state controls; it requires a standard 120V single-phase connection.
- How do I automate the booster's operation? The unit is typically wired in parallel with the furnace blower or paired with a pressure-sensing switch like the Field Controls ABA-1 to activate only when air is moving.
