| In-duct cylindrical tensioning device  DuctSox introduced SkeleCore, the in-duct cylindrical tensioning device (CTD) that eliminates sagging, wrinkling and now confirms DuctSox as the most visually aesthetic air distribution system in the HVAC industry. The patent-pending SkeleCore is the first fabric duct CTD that maintains an inflated appearance-even during idle air handler periods-and eliminates the "popping" sound associated with equipment start-up. End caps also have a taut, flatter appearance. Competing products and manufacturers either use special external hangers or non-tension, in-duct 180 or 360-degree rings, which still show partial deflation.The "deflation-buster" SkeleCore consists of a 3/4-inch-diameter, lightweight aluminum tube supporting a series of 3/16-inch-diameter powder-coated steel, 360-degree connecting rings, which are precisely sized to administer tension on the inner fabric duct walls for a permanently inflated, streamlined appearance. SkeleCore's backbone tubes are six feet long and designed to easily snap into the support rings and couplers with a spring-loaded, quick- connect/release mechanism. SkeleCore is available in 15 diameters ranging from 8 to 36-inches. Versus DuctSox's 3 x 1 hanger system, SkeleCore adds approximately 30-minutes of installation time per 100-foot run, adds four to seven-ounces/foot of weight, induces minimal friction loss, and carries a comparable cost. Other benefits of SkeleCore are: o Available with Sedona-Xm(TM) anti-microbial premium permeable fabric, Tuftex(TM) non-porous premium fabric, Coronado(TM) patterned designer fabric, Duratex(TM) non-porous commercial fabric, and Verona(TM) all-purpose commercial fabric. SkeleCore is also available in Comfort Flow and High Throw air delivery models. o Easily disassembled for air distribution reconfigurations or commercial laundering. o Carries the same significant material and labor savings that all DuctSox have versus metal duct and register systems. o Designed to be nested during shipping and carries similar shipping benefits as conventional fabric ductwork. o Compatible with all cylindrical fabric duct track or cable suspension systems and is a retrofit replacement for all other fabric duct brands. o Compatible with all DuctSox diffusion systems, the Adjustable Flow Device (AFD), personalization/imaging and other accessories. o More streamlined than spiral metal duct, which shows protruding registers and helical ribbing along each length. o Same customer support that's always available from the world-leading manufacturer of fabric air dispersion systems. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
