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.

Our selection of ducting products supports efficient airflow for residential, commercial, and industrial HVAC systems, ensuring consistent comfort and performance.
From round to rectangular, our air ducting materials are designed to reduce airflow resistance, minimize noise, and promote even air distribution.
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.

|
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 |
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.

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. |
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 |
|
