Manual D Duct Designs: Right-D ® is a fast, easy-to-use residential duct sizing and calculation software that takes full advantage of ACCA's and ANSI’s standard Manual D Method. A proper Manual D duct design with Right-D ® will help to quickly find which fan, coil and filter combinations will work together to achieve optimal results and best suit you and your customer. Simply set your system’s external static and pressure drops, select your duct library, and draw your ducts where you want them. Or choose to utilize one of auto-draw systems. Right-Duct ® will select the fittings, measure the actual and equivalent length of the runs and size, calculate the appropriate friction rate for each duct, as well as properly size the ducts for you. Features: In conjunction with Right-Draw ®, you may draw your duct design, or simply place the registers where you want them, and allow Right-D® to design your layout for you.
Using both of these products together also allows the instant calculation of friction rates of each run with every change made in Right-Draw ®. Right-D ® features the complete ACCA fitting list, which can be modified and saved in libraries for re-use. Use Right-D ® to: Automatically size your ducts and registers. This program will choose the right duct sizes for your project based on airflow, static pressure and user selected fittings.
Automatically reduce riser size for 3 or more floors. Automatically place registers within a floorplan. Once your floorplan has been established in Right-Draw ®, Right-D ® will place your registers for you with the click of a button. Right-D ® can also instantly connect branches to trunks to save you time.
Automatically add Flex End for sound attenuation. Once your main duct branches are set, easily add flex duct to each supply branch run. Consider “What If” scenarios. Choose to change the filter pressure drop, or change the airflow or fan pressure and the entire system will instantly change to account for the alterations made.
Easily view ducts by system. Right-D ® is color-coded to help define which system you are viewing. Ensure a properly design system.
Let Right-D ® be your second set of eyes by highlighting fittings that do not fit together properly. Balance Supply air with return air with a click of a button. Duct CFM and sizes will automatically adjust with any load changes. Roquey from says, 'I have used Wrightsoft since the days of monochromatic screens and the spreadsheet-only format. I've attended several classes, been to the World Headquarters in Lexington, and even hosted training classes. The level of support is phenomenal.

Both in the classroom, call in and email. I've used the Right J, Right Draw modules extensively in the new construction markets not only for the purpose intended, but also to 'value engineer' the materials selection process for my clients. I can't imagine a better product. The learning curve is pronounced and requires commitment on the part of the user, but with constant use it becomes almost second nature. As a 40+ year veteran of our industry, I highly recommend this company.'
Al Gagne from Bayside Mechanical says, On our Training: 'I've been to three of your trainings over the last 7 years and every time I go I learn something new. The class provides a thorough understanding of Right-Suite ® Universal and helpful shortcuts so that I can continue to run my business effectively in this changing market.'
On our Software: 'Wrightsoft’s Right-Suite ® Universal has helped us to turn bids around faster, especially for custom home builders. I can simply import the AutoCAD building plans as a layer in the program, trace to complete the load calculations and add my ducts to the design, saving me a considerable amount of time. The full design and calculation is then saved in the AutoCAD file as another layer.' Jim Heinz President of says, “We are primarily a residential replacement air conditioning and heating company in Clearwater, Florida. We found a serious issue with improperly sized air conditioning systems in existing homes that was causing issues with humidity, or lack of cooling. We have used Manual J for over 30 years, but due to the time-consuming process of entering information manually, it was not done unless we had a consumer complaint. We partnered with Wrightsoft over 15 years ago and can now do a Manual J Load Calculation in less than 30 minutes.
Wrightsoft is always there for us, with tech support staff that answers the phone quickly, and offer advice when needed. There is also a library of how to videos available 24 hours a day on their website. Wrightsoft has continued to be the best option for us for Manual J load calculations.”. Tim Kohut Director of Sustainable Design, says, “I reached out to technical support to complete an advanced task.
Technical support responded within an hour or two, guided me through the process, and even QC’d my spreadsheet (making corrections needed). I was really impressed I’ve found that my questions are always answered, usually within hours, and there’s never an attempt to dodge an issue. Wrightsoft’s responsiveness on the support side is what truly sets you apart. Your team has made my life easier and using RSU has become an integral cornerstone to the work I do guiding our teams in the design and construction of high performance, soon to be ZNE affordable housing.”. Steve Paxton from Air-Dynamics says, “I've been using Wrightsoft since the late 80’s. Public Service Company in Oklahoma's 'Good Cents' program required an ACCA Manual J load calculation and ACCA Manual D duct design to qualify as a 'Good Cents' structure.
As long as the information is entered correctly, Wrightsoft takes all of the guesswork out of the equation. It has given me peace of mind and keeps our quality of installation above the rest. I can't imagine doing an install without it, it's as important to us as the rest of the tools on our trucks.”.
