1duct Flexible Ducting Product

All-PTFE Flexible Duct With Wear-Resistant Metal Coil For All Applications

1duct is a PTFE flexible ducting product for all your needs and for any environment. With a maximum temperature rating of 600ºF (316ºC), 1duct can be used in any wet or dry application, regardless of the chemical exposure.

With a cost-effective design, 1duct eliminates the need to use less-capable flexible ducting products made with PTFE-coated fiberglass and Silicone-coated fiberglass. PTFE-coated fiberglass and Silicone-coated fiberglass materials have limited flexing capability and can be corroded. 1duct is made using an all-PTFE Crossfilm material, which exhibits excellent flexing life and no corrosion. Unlike fiberglass-reinforced materials which become porous after flexing, all-PTFE Crossfilm materials retain non-porosity to ensure containment of the media traveling through the flexible duct.

1duct can be made with a galvanized or stainless metal coil that protects against abrasion. A bridge clamp, using a clamping design that spans the metal coil, is used to achieve a tight attachment to a pipe. In a design consisting only of PTFE and metal, 1duct is the ideal flexible ducting product for applications with fire rating test concerns like Factory Mutual 4910, ASTM E84, UBC 8-1, and UL 723.

1duct is extremely flexible with a 6 to 1 compression ratio and a small bend radius. It is unaffected by UV exposure and will not grow fungus. It can include an electrically-conductive surface material to prevent the build-up of static charge. Some market opportunities include clean rooms, chemical plants, food plants, fume exhaust, high temperature, pharmaceutical, fume control, and pollution control.
