Designed for sheet metal workers and engineered to perfection, our flexible duct sets m
the standard in quality and dependability. Unique to others in the industry, we manu- a
facture flexible ductwork without the use of glues or adhesives. The mechanical-locked
s
t
inner core maintains its shape at all 90° bends and offsets, thus eliminating the need for e
extra reinforcement. This manufacturing process produces a flexible duct with the high-
r
u
est performance credentials of any flexible duct. Flexmaster USA's 20 year warranty is s
unsurpassed in the HVAC ductwork industry. a
.
c
Our newest product additions focus on Medical and Environmental Solutions. These
o
flexible duct and sheet metal fittings are manufactured with non-ferrous and anti- m
microbial materials and are ideal for Hospital Patient Rooms, Operating Rooms, MRI
Rooms, Data Centers and Mission Critical Environments, where cleanliness, reliability
and durability are required.

Unique to others in the industry, we manufacture flexible ductwork

 Flexible Metal Duct
Triple Lock Aluminum & Stainless Steel
Flexmaster Triple Lock product is an all metal flexible duct that is constructed entirely without the
use of adhesives. The Triple Lock mechanical joint makes an air tight seam, while the circumferential corruga-
tions provide excellent strength and flexibility.
Minimum bend radius to center line is one diameter. However, our recommended radius is 1.5 diameters in
accordance with accepted practice. Triple Lock stainless steel ducting may be easily cut to size and had
formed into elbows or offsets to suit job conditions without subsequent sagging or droop.

Flexmaster's - THE INSPECTOR SERIES - SPIN DOOR is manufactured with

heavy gauge galvanized steel to meet the highest quality standards
required in a high pressure access door. This insulated and gasketed
access door is designed for application in a low to high-pressure HVAC air
distribution system. THE INSPECTOR SERIES - SPIN DOOR unique round con-
struction provides for a quick installation as its outer frame is spun into the
sheet metal duct and then the self sealing inner door is put into place and
locked by turning the pre-installed latches. The outer SPIN DOOR frame is made of
heavy gauge galvanized steel, rolled and double hemmed. The inner door is made of
heavy gauge galvanized steel, rolled and triple hemmed. When the outer SPIN DOOR frame is properly
installed and sealed for the specified operating pressure the leakage rate is extremely low. No raw
14 edges are exposed and therefore a safe entry and exit is insured.
