The neoprene coating provides protection for temperatures up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit, making this a great cost effective option for work that does not reach extreme temperatures.

Speaking of which, heat ducting is used in a variety of commercial and industrial applications, and has a long track record of being used in some of the most arduous and damaging environments. Welding exhaust, steam hosing, automobile ducts, and furnace exhaust pipes are just some of the myriad of applications in which you can find flexible heating duct operating on daily basis. With the sheer number and variety of sensitive applications in which it is used, it is no wonder that heat ducting remains one of the most sought after and utilized types of flexible ductwork on the market.

One of the leading causes of wasted energy in a heat ducting system is when temperatures being conveyed escape from a hose. Several of our products offer insulation to prevent air from leaking out of the duct. Insulation protects the airflow of your heater hose by adding an extra layer to prevent the heat from escaping from the hose. For additional protection, double-ply options are available to protect your heat ducting from abrasion. Our insulated hoses stay flexible even with the added insulation. What’s more, even despite the insulation and padding that goes into many brands of heat ducting, most kinds remain flexible and stable. This is key because it allows the flexible ductwork to function as a kind of lightweight hose that can be applied to a multitude of situations.

Heat ducting can also be outfitted with a plethora of different accoutrements in order to facilitate greater usability. Reducing and enlarging cuffs are common types of endcaps that allow commercial ducts of different sizes to be linked together. This is important for, say, allowing industrial sized air conditioners to transfer ambient air into smaller spaces. Additionally, bridge and screw cuff connectors are an excellent and readily available means of attaching firmly lengths of flexible heating duct to one another. These types of attachments are specifically designed to function in places where the connectivity of your heat ducting needs to be absolutely assured.
