The “Air Ventilator Heavy-Duty” ventilation hose is a highly durable air ventilation duct that is well suited to industrial air movement applications. This flexible ventilation duct is made with a thick PVC vinyl coated polyester fabric that is reinforced with a spring steel wire helix and external wear-strip. These physical features make it ideal for withstanding the rigors of industrial ventilation ducting. The spring steel wire helix in each of these heavy-duty ventilation ducts gives them a stronger form and a degree of flexibility. It can help prevent the air hose from being crushed or deformed. The external wear-strip on the outside of this durable air ventilation hose is meant to provide an added layer of protection against physical abrasion. With these great structural components, this heavy-duty flexible ventilation duct will last for longer periods of time.
The biggest differentiator that separates these air ventilation ducts from others is its thicker and heavier PVC fabric material. Although the spring wire helix allows for easier compressibility and transport, this ventilation ducting is heavier than its standard counterparts. The thick material makes it well suited to use as industrial ventilation ducting where physical durability and longevity are a necessity. Naturally, the thicker the material, the better it can handle rough physical working conditions. It can also handle high and low temperature situations, with a working range between -20° F and 180° F. Use this ventilation hose for heavy-duty applications.
These air ventilation ducts come in various different ID sizes. They come in the sizes of 6”, 8”, 12”, 14”, 16”, and 24”. The standard length of this hose is 25 feet. It is a very easy hose to install. Each of these hoses comes with ends that have belted cuffs that allow for efficient easy installation, eliminating the need for cumbersome clamps. In terms of appearance, this ventilation hose is distinguishable by its yellow body fabric and black external wear-strips. This flexible ventilation duct is suitable for use in applications such as air duct cleaning, AC ventilation, cold air supply, dehumidification, humidity control, mining, and more.
This flexible duct has been tested and meets the NFPA 701-2023 standard methods of fire tests for flame propagation of textiles and films. Under NFPA 701, the PVC coated duct fabric is tested by burning a small sample and measuring the flame, the char length and flame residue. If a ducting material meets the NFPA 701 standards in these three areas, the flexible duct is considered flame retardant and receives a NFPA 701 certification.
