Why Flexible Canvas Duct Connectors Are Essential in Every HVAC System
When installing or repairing ductwork, one often overlooked but critical component is the flexible canvas duct connector. At Ductwork Delivered, we supply high-quality flexible duct connectors designed to reduce vibration and noise in HVAC systems — and they ship directly to your job site, fast.
What Is a Flexible Canvas Duct Connector?
A flexible duct connector is a transition piece made with a strip of durable fabric (often neoprene-coated fiberglass or vinyl) attached to sheet metal on both ends. It’s installed between the air handling unit and the duct system, or anywhere vibration isolation is needed.
This simple but effective part prevents vibration from transferring through the duct system, reducing noise and preventing structural damage over time.
Why Use Canvas Duct Connectors?
Here’s what makes flexible canvas duct connectors indispensable in HVAC installations:
-
Vibration Isolation: Keeps mechanical vibrations from reaching ducts and walls.
-
Noise Reduction: Eliminates the rattling and humming associated with air movement and equipment vibration.
-
Thermal Expansion Buffer: Allows for movement in systems affected by temperature shifts.
-
Air Seal Maintenance: Helps preserve air tightness in dynamic areas of the ductwork.
-
Ease of Maintenance: Makes it easier to disassemble or replace sections of duct during service work.
