Securing Flexible Duct
Flexible duct must be installed with supports at maximum intervals of 1.5 metres. Flexible ductwork can be
supported by using gaer or electrical tape. Provided that it does not restrict the internal diameter of the
ducting. Ducting installed looped over hanging beams should be installed in such a manner as to ensure the
changes of direction are gradual. Support of the ducting with the use of hangers may be required, see option 2.
NOTE: Ducting should be kept taut at all times.
