Flexible.

Application

All mechanical equipment like Air Handling Units, Fan Coil Units and Ventilation Fans generate noise and vibrations when used. To eliminate the noise and vibrations from transmitting through the air ducts, it is necessary to install an airtight flexible joint between the outlet of the equipment, and the inlet of the ducts. During manufacturing, the joint formed by attaching a layer of fabric to two strips of metal on either side is called a “Flexible Duct Connector”. The most critical part of this Flexible Duct Connector is the fabric which has to be selected to suit the typical requirements of each installation.

Duct Connector Fabric Types

PU (Polyurethane) Polyurethane fabric is fragile in construction but have a longer resistance period to high temperatures. PVC is recommended for use in application where high mechanical strength is required, extremely resistant to most alkalies, gasoline and toxic fumes. SILICONIZED Silicon fabric has a special silicon rubber coating that has excellent resistance to high and low temperatures. It is recommended for application where high temperature is of main concern in both indoor and outdoor installations.
