FLEXIBLE DUCT CONNECTOR
ELIMINATES DUCT SYSTEM NOISES AND VIBRATIONS
All air duct installations for heating, cooling or ventilation are attached to mechanical
equipment containing a fan or blower. Vibrations, noises and rattles resulting from
the operation of the fan or blower are transmitted into the metal ducts which carry
the noises throughout the system.

In order to isolate the vibration and noises to the source, an air-tight flexible joint,
consisting of a fabric which is secured to sheet metal on both sides, must be inserted
between the equipment and the ductwork. This flexible joint is called a "Flexible Duct
Connector."

To meet every type of installation

requirement, whether it be for factory,
institution, office or home; Duro Dyne
offers the widest variety of flexible
duct connector fabrics (U.L. Classified)
and sizes; pre-assembled with the
sheet metal permanently secured
to the fabric by means of exclusive
seam locks. Duro Dyne Flexible Duct
Connectors are dispensed from the
carton, ready to complete fabrication
faster, more efficiently, and more
economically than any conventional
method.

■ Select Duro Dyne Fabrics* are designed to meet NFPA 701 (formerly UL 214.)
■ Select Duro Dyne fabrics are designed to meet NFPA 90A & 90 B. Refer to fabric chart for related ASTM E84 data.

FABRICATING A FLEXIBLE CONNECTION
HOW TO STIFFEN FLEXIBLE CONNECTOR
When installing large size flexible connectors in a duct system, some type of stiffening agent is usually required to keep the unit relatively
rigid. Some contractors use angle iron, while in many cases a bar slip connection is used to achieve this result. Now it is possible to save
valuable time and material by forming Duro Dyne's Grip Loc Seam found on Metal Fab and Super Metal Fab, to rigidize the connector over
long sections. This simple method of stiffening the sides of Duro Dyne’s Flexible Connector can eliminate the costly addition of angle iron
used to perform this job.
HERE IS HOW IT IS DONE:
1. Lay out Connector as 2. Bend the Grip Loc 3. Using a heavy 4. Bend to form a

DURO STAPLER AND STAPLES

Duro Dyne's Flexible Connectors are preassembled metal-to-fabric which eliminates this
difficult, time consuming shop operation. After forming the metal, the overlap can be riveted,
screwed or spot welded.
The fabric seam can be quickly closed using the handy Duro Stapler. The result is a sturdily
constructed, low cost flexible connector which meets engineering specifications. See ITEM# 10065 ITEM# 10059

VANE RAIL ®

Air travelling throughout a duct is slowed up when it reaches a right turn angle. This "slow-
up" is detrimental to the efficiency of the duct system, therefore air turning vane assemblies
are used to guide air evenly around such turns. With today's high labor costs, it is expensive
for shops to produce their own air turning assemblies. That is why Duro Dyne Vane Rail is
a major contribution to sheet metal shops that require efficient, yet inexpensive air turning
assemblies. With Duro Vane Rail, which is a pre-fab side rail, layout time is eliminated. Vanes
can be sheared from scrap metal without tab cutting, and quickly assembled to rails with
only one blow of a ball peen hammer.

FLEXIBLE DUCT CONNECTOR CRADLE & SHEAR

The Duro Dyne Flexible Duct Connector Cradle can relieve many of the difficulties associated with
the handling of flexible connector. Duro Dyne’s Model FDCC-2 keeps up to three rolls of flexible
duct connector or vane rail within easy reach, anywhere in the shop. Full swivel casters make
movement around the shop possible, and ball bearing rollers quickly dispense connector with
a simple pull. A foot actuated brake locks the FDCC-2 in place when dispensing the connector.
The shear attachment cuts the duct connector accurately and effortlessly.
