The Porta-Duct is a portable hose that is built within a transportable carrying bag. This flexible duct is made from a PVC vinyl laminated polyester fabric. The PVC coated polyester fabric is then reinforced with a steel wire helix and then an external wear strip is added to the protrusions that are caused by the wire. The wear strip protects the flex duct from scrapes that the hose may experience when moved in exterior spaces. The Porta-Duct is a portable air conditioning hose. This duct is designed to work in ambient temperatures and is rated at -20°F to +165° degrees Fahrenheit. The Porta-Duct is available in 25-foot lengths and in popular ID (inside diameter) sizes which are: 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, and 24-inches. The two ends of the hose are finished, one with an enclosed belted cuff and the other end with an enclosed nylon ring. The Porta-Duct has a built-in sack with handles for easy transportation. This hose has a 10-to-1 compression ratio which results in a highly compressible and flexible duct that can maneuver around equipment and permanent structures with ease.
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), also known as vinyl, is an economical and versatile polymer widely used in the building and construction industry. It is utilized in the production of pipes, cable insulation, windows, walls and wherever a durable and protective product is needed. PVC is chemical resistant, has great weathering characteristics, has a low flammability rating, and is cost effective. PVC also has good resistance to impact and mechanical stress and is resistant to UV radiation, and moisture. This makes a PVC duct a perfect all-around duct and especially for use in outdoor and industrial applications. The durability of PVC, the material makeup of this product, makes this the ideal portable AC exhaust hose.
This portable flexible duct bridges the gap between quality, affordability and ease of use. Being is that is compressed within a built-in sack, it is very ergonomic. The sack is designed to be as comfortable as possible and be able to handle the weight of the hose. Compared with other means of carrying hoses to job sites, the ease of use will make this hose the go-to hose when portability is required in an air ventilation job.
This hose is tested and meets NFPA 701 flame propagation requirements. This means that the hose fabric meets the flame propagation performance criteria contained in Test Method 2 of NFPA 701. This has been an approved by third party firm that has tested PVC coated fabric materials and has the Porta-Duct certified as a flame retardant product.
