I am trying to clean up a low hanging heat duct running through my shop and increase the air flow to a distant cold bedroom. One duct in particular taps off the supply trunk line and runs several feet below the floor joists before connecting to the wall stack up to the second floor bedroom. Apparently, it was routed this way because the corresponding joist cavity was panned out for a return to a different room.
Does code allow the supply line to pass through the any portion of the panned return channel? I know it’s not the best/easiest approach, but this would certainly solve my problem with the supply line. This is a 5†round duct and should have minimal impact on the air flow capacity of the 9x14.5 panned return channel.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
