REPLACEMENT INSTALLATIONS
GE offers duct adapters to allow for easy replacements  
of previous-design chassis in ducted installations where  
a GE duct adapter was used in the original installation. 
A duct adapter is available that will align with the duct 
extension when GE-built components were used in the 
original installation.
The duct adapter/extension used from the early 1960s  
until late 1987 was 8-3/8" high by 6-1/2" wide. If the 
chassis to be replaced uses this size duct, use the duct 
adapter model RAK7013 with the new product to match 
up to the existing duct extension. This means the duct 
extension will not have to be changed. 
However, to keep the cost of the replacement to a 
minimum there are components that will need to be 
taken off the existing installation and reused on the 
RAK7013 duct adapter. Therefore, save all parts from 
the existing setup until after the installation is complete. 
It is important that those parts not be discarded until 
the new installation is complete.
If the existing duct dimensions are 7-3/32" high by 6-1/2" 
wide, the RAK7023 transition piece is required to install  
an AZ45 or AZ65 Series unit in the ducted installation.
There were a number of Zoneline units installed in  
ducted installations that did not use a GE duct adapter. 
The easiest way to determine if the existing duct adapter 
is a GE duct adapter is to compare the duct adapter 
dimensions to the dimensions above. If the dimensions are 
different from the dimensions above or if the duct adapter 
is not made of sheet metal, it is not a GE duct adapter.  
In such installations, GE recommends the removal of the 
old duct adapter and duct extension and the installation  
of a RAK6053 duct adapter and a RAK601B duct 
extension. Zoneline units installed in installations not  
using GE duct adapters and an extension with the same 
cross-section dimensions as the duct adapter may not  
be covered by the warranty.
