Abstract

This invention relates to a center stack face plate that has an integrated HVAC duct assembly. This invention removes many parts and assemblies from typical HVAC duct assemblies and provides complete integration of HVAC duct assembly within the center stack face plate. The connector duct and air conditioner housing along with the barrel assembly make a direct point of connection with the center stack face plate allowing for typical usage of an HVAC system in a more streamlined fashion.
