Product Description
Atco Flexible Air Duct
It is manufactured with a tough triple ply duct wall construction. 25 lengths, which can be easily cut to desired length are compressed and packed in small, easy to store cartons. The air-tight and is designed for low to medium operating pressures in HVAC systems.
Engineered for Industrial PerformanceAtco Flexible Air Duct Series is developed for demanding industrial environments. Its robust construction, featuring a self-supporting double-layer design and efficient noise reduction, ensures reliable performance. The multilayer outer jacket offers superior vapor barrier properties while the fiberglass insulation helps minimize acoustic disturbances.
Easy Installation and VersatilityThanks to its lightweight, flexible build, Atco Flex Duct is easy to install in tight and complex spaces. The duct supports bend radii of 4-6 times its diameter, making routing adaptable for various layouts. With standard lengths of up to 25 feet and a range of inner diameters, it suits multiple industrial air distribution needs.
FAQ's of Atco Flexible Air Duct:
Q: How do you install the Atco Flexible Air Duct for optimal airflow and support?
A: To ensure optimal airflow and structural support, install the Atco Flex Duct by maintaining a bend radius of 4-6 times the duct diameter and securing the duct at regular intervals. Its lightweight, flexible design facilitates routing through confined spaces, making installation straightforward for industrial HVAC applications.
Q: What makes the Atco Flexible Air Duct suitable for industrial HVAC systems?
A: The Atco Flex Duct is ideal for industrial systems due to its high maximum air velocity (30 m/s), strong positive pressure rating (2500 Pa), and double-layer construction. The insulated fiberglass core reduces noise, while the vapor barrier prevents moisture ingress, ensuring durability in industrial environments.
Q: When should the Atco Flex Duct be used over traditional metallic ducts?
A: Choose the Atco Flex Duct when you need flexibility, quick installation, and noise reduction. Its non-metallic construction and self-supporting attributes are beneficial in complex layouts or spaces where metallic ducts are challenging to install or require sound-dampening features.
Q: Where can the Atco Flexible Air Duct be installed?
A: The Atco Flex Duct is suitable for various industrial settings wherever HVAC ducting is required, including factories, warehouses, and commercial buildings. It can be routed through confined areas and ceiling spaces, providing versatility for diverse installation sites.
Q: What is the process for maintaining the Atco Flexible Air Duct?
A: Maintenance involves periodic visual inspections to check for punctures or tears, especially at bends and connection points. Since it resists moisture and meets fire safety standards, regular dusting and occasional cleaning with a vacuum or low-pressure air keeps it operating effectively.
Q: How does the duct's insulated construction benefit acoustics in HVAC systems?
A: The built-in fiberglass insulation significantly reduces the transmission of air handling noise through the duct system, fostering a quieter environment in industrial facilities. This acoustic performance sets it apart from many standard non-insulated air ducts.
Q: What fire standards does the Atco Flex Duct meet, and why is this important?
A: The Atco Flex Duct complies with NFPA 90A and 90B fire safety standards and is rated as fire-resistant. This ensures it is safe for use in buildings, helping mitigate the risk of fire spread through HVAC systems as required by industrial regulations.
