5.4.1 Vertical Sampling Pipe Installation
Vertical installation of sampling pipes is used to sample air at different layers to offset the effects of
stratification. Vertical sampling is typically used in areas that have high ceilings. In addition to On-ceiling
sampling, pipes are also installed vertically ensuring that air can be sampled at different heights. To install
Vertical sampling pipes follow the guidelines for Ceilings and Floors in Section 5.1 on page 17.
