Flexible Solutions: What’s Best for your Project?

Curious about the key features of aluminium combi flexible ducting with a polyester coating?

In our latest blog we look at the design, material choices, and the range of sizes available, revealing how this durable flexible ducting performs across different HVAC applications.

Whether you need a high-pressure solution or something that can withstand outdoor elements, this product offers versatility and reliability.

Key Features:

Composition and Structure - The aluminium combi flex uses a sturdy aluminium base supported by wire reinforcement and a PVC polyester layer that enhances its durability and flexibility.

Sizing and Packaging - Available in diameters ranging from 100 mm to 500 mm, each duct is packaged in a compressed 6 metre length within a 400 mm box, making it compact and convenient for storage or transport.

Temperature and Pressure - With a temperature range from -30°C to +140°C and a maximum pressure capacity of 3,000 pascals, this ducting is ready to handle both high-pressure air systems and varying environmental conditions.

Application - It’s ideal for both supply and extraction air systems, including HVAC and more robust air control applications with the PVC coating, making it waterproof and suitable for outdoor use, adding to its versatility.

Standard Aluminium Flex: Lightweight and Versatile

And now for those who need a ducting solution that’s versatile yet lightweight, consider the standard aluminium flex as a reliable option - whilst it lacks the PVC reinforcement of the combi flex, the ducting offers other advantages:

Structure - This ducting type is made from aluminium with wire reinforcement, covered in a polyester layer for added flexibility and durability.

Length and Size Range- Available in a 10 metre length, packaged in a 500 mm box, the standard aluminium flex covers a wider diameter range from 80 mm to 610 mm.

Temperature and Pressure Ratings - Capable of withstanding temperatures in the same range as the combi flex but limited to a maximum pressure tolerance of 2,500 pascals, making it suitable for low to medium pressure applications.

Practical Uses - Ideal for standard HVAC and extraction systems, especially in indoor settings where high pressure isn’t a requirement. The wider diameter range also makes it suitable for more varied applications.

Which Aluminium Ducting Fits Your Needs?

Choosing between the aluminium combi flex and standard aluminium flex comes down to your specific application. If you need ducting that can withstand higher pressures or will be exposed to outdoor conditions, the aluminium combi flex is a durable choice with its reinforced PVC coating. On the other hand, if flexibility and a wide size range are your priorities, especially for indoor use, the standard aluminium flex offers a lightweight, adaptable solution.
