The Benefits of an Adjustable Duct Product
Clamp Together Duct, also called rolled-lip duct, has distinct advantages over traditional ductwork — like flange connected, welded together, and spiral duct.
SPEED of Clamp Together Duct
The clamp together connections allow for an estimated 70% faster installation than traditional methods. However, the main reason for this speed isn’t just the clamping connections, it is the ease and flexibility of utilizing the adjustable sleeve.
The heart of the clamp together system is the ability to cut the pipe and incorporate either an 11” adjustable sleeve or a standard fitting to receive that cut end of the pipe. Once the pipe is slid into the sleeve or the fitting to create the length needed, the standard clamp secures the pipe to the rolled lip of the sleeve or fitting by clamping it an O-ring. Precision cutting, bolting, welding, or riveting is not needed.
ADJUSTABILITY of Clamp Together Duct
The 11" adjustable sleeve is typically used when installing or modifying an existing duct system. The sleeve’s interior diameter is slightly larger than the outside diameter of the standard pipe, so the sleeve can slide over the 5' pipe.
Again, precision cutting is not needed. Once a section of pipe is cut close to the length needed, the sleeve slides over the cut end of the pipe and offers a telescoping capability to ensure the exact fit between components. As mentioned above, each of the clamp together fittings have a rolled-lip collar that works as a mini-sleeve to allow for a few inches of adjustment, as well.
