Technical Manuals and Standards
Technical standards and manuals developed by SMACNA Contractors have found worldwide acceptance by
the construction community, as well as foreign government agencies. ANSI, the American National
Standards Institute, has accredited SMACNA as a standards-setting organization.
SMACNA standards and manuals address all facets of the sheet metal industry, from duct construction and
installation to air pollution control, from energy recovery to roofing. SMACNA's Technical Resources
Department fields several thousand technical questions annually from architects, engineers, manufacturers
and government personnel.
More than 17,000 orders for SMACNA technical manuals are processed and shipped each year from
SMACNA national headquarters. This translates into sales of more than 50,000 technical manuals,
generating approximately $1 million in income for the association.
SMACNA Technical Manuals may be ordered by calling
Kelly Avila at Bay Area SMACNA at (510) 635-8212 or
