The duct vent size will depend on the size of the furnace and the size of your home so you know how many vents you need in each room.
What size duct is needed for 1000 cfm.
The minimum duct sizes and recommended duct sizes based on a hood fan s cfm rating are as follows.
If your hood is between 901 and 1200 cfm then you should go for a minimum duct size of 8 and if you have a 1200 cfm hood consider going for a minimum duct size of 10.

A 0 to 400 cfm fan requires a 4 inch minimum duct size but a 6 inch duct is recommended.
Minimum duct size of 4 recommended duct size of 6 401 600 cfm.
Last take off run to be located 12 18 from end.
A natural draft furnace produces 100 cmf.
Never locate ducts at the end of the trunk line run.
If your hood is between 401 and 600 cfm you need a minimum duct size of 6.
If your hood is between 601 and 900 cfm you need a minimum duct size of 7.
Cfm your type of furnace produces.
Most hvac systems use a friction rate of 0 1 water column per 100 feet of duct.
For instance a 2 5 ton system approximately 400 cfm per ton would require 2 14 flexible return ducts or 1 very short flexible 18 duct to move the 1000 cfm required by the 2 5 ton system.
Using your ductulator match each room s cfm requirement to your planned friction rate.
In order for your forced air furnace to work properly you have to have the right sizes of duct vents in each room expelling air.

Minimum duct size of 8 recommended duct size of 10 12.
As you match each room s cfm to the ductulator it will give you the size of duct you need to run to the room.

Approximately 1 cfm of air is required to heat or cool 1 to 1 25 sq.
As systems increase in efficiency the tolerances of how we have always done it will no longer be adequate.
