102mm x 1.5m Semi - rigid Aluminium ducting hose.
Don't forget the hose clips made for use with semi rigid duct. Available on our other listings.
Overview
Aluminium Flexible Duct is a corrugated flexible ducting, which can be formed to bend radii less than ½D. It is supplied in its compressed state, but when installed the tube extends to 4 metres for maximum flexibility and economy – making it the simple answer to many flexible duct problems.
Key benefits
- Constant cross section for predictable air flow characteristics
- Reduced need for supports on longer duct runs
- Fire resistant to BS 476 Part 8 with negligible smoke generation
- Extra flexibility. Ideal for short final connections
- Supplied in compressed lengths for easy handling and storage.
Flexible
It is available in 100mm, 125mm and 150mm diameter and may be hand-formed to bends of less than a 1/2D Radius- a feature previously only thought possible with fabric flexibles.
Aluminium Flexible Duct can also be extended or compressed easily for installation between spigots located opposite to each other. It is ideal for final connections or where space is limited.
Strong
Strength and pliability in metal flexibles are affected by the thickness, corrugation shape and ductility of the material used in construction. In the past a strong tube has lacked flexibility and flexible tube has lacked strength.
With Aluminium Flexible Duct the problems are overcome by producing a deep corrugation tube, which is kept in the compressed state until it is installed; in this state it has great strength with little flexibility. At the time of installation, when strength is a lower priority, the tube is extended to achieve its ultimate in flexibility.
Self supporting
Aluminium Flexible Duct retains its corrugation form in use and in doing so, achieves maximum distance between supports without sagging, resulting in cost savings in labour and
materials when compared to fabric flexible. It also retains its cross section regardless of its state; it can be compressed, extended, or formed into bends or offsets with no reduction in area.
