Installation recommendations

• For the best results flexible ducting should always be installed fully extended.
• Hanging straps should be at least 25mm (1 in.) wide
• The distance of supports will vary with the diameter of the flexible duct. As a guide the supports should be approx 500mm apart on straight runs
• When making connections make sure the flexible duct is adequately supported, so that the joint doesn't take the weight of the duct
• Make sure the flexible duct is not in contact with any sharp objects that might puncture it
• Make sure the flexible ducting does not come into contact with hot steam pipes, etc.
