Manual T Air Distribution

Register and grille sizing for comfort and quiet operation.

What it is

Manual T selects the supply registers and return grilles for the air distribution system — the right throw, spread, and noise criteria for each room, given the Manual D airflows.

Who needs it

  • High-end residential where occupant comfort is non-negotiable
  • Projects where the AHJ asks for the full ACCA J/S/D/T package
  • Any system where noise or drafty rooms have been a problem

What's included

  • Per-room register/grille selection
  • Throw, spread, and NC (noise criterion) per device
  • Documentation page suitable for installer and inspector

FAQ

Is Manual T usually required for permit?

Not typically — but it's commonly requested on luxury and net-zero projects where comfort and acoustics matter.
