ALUMINIUM FLEXIBLE DUCT
INTRODUCTION
POLAR® Aluminium Flexible Duct is a flexible fire
rated" duct manufactured for air conditioning and
ventilation applications. It is very flexible, strong and
lightweight.
POLAR® Aluminium Flexible Duct is fire rated in
accordance with British Standard BS 476 parts
5, 6 and 7; as well as Australian Standard AS 1530
parts 2 and 3 (Early Fire Hazard Test) resulting
in a4 zero rating. This is a higher rating than required
for AS 1668 part 1 (Fire Precautions in Building
with Air Handling Systems),
CONSTRUCTION
POLAR® Aluminium Flexible Duct is unlike other duct, it gives a unique feature that only
a lightweight aluminium wraps over the fiberglass and comprises of two concentric Helical
Ducts that house the fiberglass wool between them, making it a superior and sturdier product.
POLAR® Aluminium Flexible Duct is strong which suitable for all high and low velocity air
conditioning ventilation system and fire resistant with a flexibility of being compressed
to 10% of this extended length, and come over with a spring steel wire helix to give excellent
strength and flexible.
SOUND ATTENUATION
The acoustic performance of POLAR® Aluminium Flexible Duct is superior to rigid metal
ducting and equal to other flexible ducts on the market. Figures are available.
INSTALLATION
Cutting and installation of POLAR® Aluminium Flexible Duct is simple. The only tools
required are a knife and a wire cutter. The great flexibility of POLAR® Aluminium Flexible
Duct allows obstruction and tight situations to be overcome with ease. It is particularly
beneficial for connection to air outlets in false ceilings, making adjustment to suit final
positioning much easier, Flexible duct must always be fully extended and bends made
with adequate radius to prevent corrugation of the interior with consequent excessive
resistance to air flow.
SIZE
POLAR® Aluminium Flexible Duct is available in diameters from 100 mm to 500 mm
(4" = 20"); the standard length is 10 meters. Other length available on order.
INSULATED DUCT
POLAR® Aluminium Flexible Duct is also available factory insulated with a layer of fiberglass
covered with an outer casing of the same used. The fiberglass can be 25 mm or 50 mm thick.
The thermal resistance (R) of the 25mm 16 kg/m? fiberglass is 0.67 m2K/W; 50mm 16 kg/m?
fiberglass is 1.35 m2K/W; 25mm 24 kg/m? fiberglass is 0.71 m2K/W; 50mm 24 kg/m?
fiberglass is 1.43 m2K/W.
HANDLING
For transport and site handling the duct is compressed thus reducing freight, cartage
and storage cost. The strength of the duct minimizes damage due handling.TECHNICAL DATA
