6. Flexible Duct
Securing Flexible Duct
Flexible duct must be installed with supports at maximum intervals of 1.5 metres. Flexible ductwork can be
supported by using good quality gaer or aluminium foil 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.
