Voomi Supply carries HVAC ducting and ventilation supplies from Gray Metal South, Southwark Metal, TRUaire, Broan-NuTone, Panasonic and DuroDyne, in rectangular and round duct fittings, register boots, return air grilles, wall caps, vent tee caps, duct hangers, fans and ventilators across galvanized steel gauges and many sizes. Ducting carries conditioned air from the equipment to each room, and ventilation parts move stale air out and fresh air in, so the right fitting, sealing method and vent type keep airflow balanced and exhaust safe. Every order ships with Voomi's 30-day return policy and free help matching a part to your system.

Complete Ducting Solutions

Our selection of ducting products supports efficient airflow for residential, commercial, and industrial HVAC systems, ensuring consistent comfort and performance.

Reliable Air Ducting Options

From round to rectangular, our air ducting materials are designed to reduce airflow resistance, minimize noise, and promote even air distribution.

Ventilation Ducting for Healthy Airflow

Proper ventilation ducting is essential for removing stale air, odors, and contaminants. We carry options suitable for exhaust, fresh air intake, and return air systems.

Rigid vs Flexible Ducting

 

Rigid (sheet metal)

Flexible

Best for

Long, straight runs with minimal airflow loss

Tight spaces and complex layouts

Airflow

Low resistance

Higher resistance. In a Texas A&M study, a 6 in flex duct at 4 percent compression moved about 70 CFM against about 110 CFM for rigid at 0.1 in. w.c., with nearly identical flow at 0 percent compression.

Installation

Cut, fit and seal each joint

Fast to route, but keep it fully stretched and avoid sags and tight bends

Ductwork Materials and Gauges

Galvanized steel is sold by gauge, and a higher gauge number means thinner metal. Gauge numbers differ by material, so 22 gauge aluminum is thinner than 22 gauge galvanized steel.

Sealing and Insulating Ductwork

Topic

What to know

Sealing material

Use mastic or metal tape that meets UL 181. Cloth-backed duct tape can dry out and fail quickly.

Wide seams

Cover seams wider than 1/8 in with fiberglass mesh tape before applying mastic

Leakage

Typical leakage in code-built homes is around 10 percent. On a 1,000 CFM system that is roughly 100 CFM lost.

Insulation

The 2009 IECC calls for at least R-8 on supply ducts and R-6 on return ducts in unconditioned space. Compression lowers the R-value.

Venting Categories for Fuel-Burning Appliances

Appliance venting categories depend on whether the vent runs under negative or positive pressure and whether the flue gas condenses. Always follow the appliance manufacturer and local code.

Category

Pressure and condensation

Typical vent materials

I

Negative pressure, non-condensing

B-vent (double-wall, gas only), flexible liners, masonry chimney liners, and single-wall pipe as a connector on lower-efficiency appliances

II

Negative pressure, condensing

Rarely seen, since these appliances are no longer manufactured

III

Positive pressure, non-condensing

Stainless steel with high-temperature sealant on joints

IV

Positive pressure, condensing

PVC, or CPVC where higher temperature is needed, with sealed joints and 1/4 in per foot pitch back to the appliance

How to Choose Ducting and Ventilation Parts

Check

What to compare

Shape and size

Rectangular or round, and the width, height or diameter of the existing duct

Gauge and material

Galvanized steel gauge, aluminum or flexible duct

Connection

Boot, reducer, cap or coupling that matches both openings

Airflow

CFM and static pressure of the fan or system

Fuel-burning appliance

Vent category and material required by the appliance

Termination

Wall cap, roof vent or tee cap size and finish

Frequently Asked Questions

Nine groups: ductwork and sheet metal, flex duct, grilles, registers and diffusers, dampers, blowers and inline duct fans, fan blades, commercial ventilation, air vents and roof maintenance components, and vent pipes and fittings. Each one is listed with its link in the table above.

  • Galvanized steel or aluminium: durable and mold-resistant, available in round, rectangular, or spiral oval shapes.
  • Duct board: made from compressed fiberglass, often used in non-load-bearing areas such as between rafters.

Flexible duct is the third common type. Steel is sold by gauge, with 22 gauge about 0.0336 in thick and 30 gauge about 0.0157 in.

Appliance venting categories describe pressure and condensation, not just vent material. Category I is negative pressure and non-condensing, Category II negative and condensing, Category III positive pressure and non-condensing (stainless steel vent), and Category IV positive pressure and condensing (PVC or CPVC, typical of 90 percent AFUE furnaces). Use the vent type your appliance manual requires. See vent pipes & fittings.

Check that the duct is listed to UL 181, choose a diameter that matches the boot or collar, and install it fully stretched. Compression and sags cut airflow sharply, so in the Texas A&M study 4 percent compression dropped a 6 in duct from about 110 to about 70 CFM. See flex duct.

Yes, the duct side includes reducers and transition pieces, end caps and vent tee caps, register boots and duct hangers. Seal joints with mastic or UL 181 metal tape rather than cloth tape. See ductwork & sheet metal.

  • Rigid ductwork (steel or aluminum) is ideal for long, straight runs with minimal airflow loss.
  • Flexible ducting suits tight spaces or complex configurations, offering ease of installation despite slightly higher airflow resistance.

Use rigid metal for trunks and long runs and flex only for the last connection to an outlet where possible.

Use mastic or metal tape that meets UL 181, because cloth-backed duct tape can dry out and fail quickly. Cover seams wider than 1/8 in with fiberglass mesh tape first. Sealing matters, since code-built homes lose around 10 percent of airflow through leaks.
