A zoned system w/o an ECM blower is going to be either noisy or not work. Step one : pull the damper you never need, and cover it with a plate and tape. Not sure what you should do with the wires though. | |

| Oct 8, 2021 at 13:16 | comment | added | MonkeyBonkey | it actually spreads out to a 12x8 floor register so it doesn't seem to make sense in my mind. Bypass ducts are designed to return supply air directly back into the return trunk when a zone closes down. This reduces overblow and the resultant noise issues in the open zones. | |
