Flexible Duct Products
Flexible ducts usually are packaged in compressed form in a variety of lengths with plain ends or as assemblies with special end fittings attached to either or both ends.
Diameters generally range from 2” (50mm) through 12” (300mm) in 1 in. (25mm) increments and 14” (350mm) through 22” (500mm) in 2 in. (50mm) increments. Most flexible duct is slightly oversized in diameter to fit over standard sheet metal fittings.

Ducts should be supported at the manufacturer’s recommended intervals, but at no greater distance
than 4’ with maximum permissible sag of 1/2” per foot of spacing between supports.
Construction:
Various materials are available for constructing the inner core and outer vapor barrier providing to meet
the demands of the local market requirements and the local and national building codes.
R-Values: Standard industry values are R4.2, R6.0, and R8.0. Above R8.0 are generally considered
special order.
Diameters:
