Air Flow Products 31SLOCKE S-cleat Duct Connector 60 in

Product Description

The AIR FLOW PRODUCTS 31SLOCKE is a 60-inch S-cleat designed for joining sections of rectangular sheet metal duct. S-cleats are a standard mechanical fastener in low-pressure duct assembly, sliding over the folded edges of two adjoining duct sections to form a secure, aligned seam. This connector is sized for straight runs where a continuous 60-inch cleat span is required. HVAC installers and sheet metal mechanics use S-cleats during new construction and retrofit ductwork fabrication to complete longitudinal seams on rectangular duct systems.

The 31SLOCKE is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems where rectangular sheet metal duct is field-fabricated or connected in sections. It is applied along the longitudinal seam of rectangular duct runs, holding mating duct edges together before the assembly is sealed and supported per the applicable mechanical code. It is a common component in forced-air heating and cooling distribution systems.

Key Features

• 60-inch length provides continuous coverage across a full duct section seam
• S-cleat profile locks onto folded duct edges for a mechanically secure joint
• Compatible with standard rectangular sheet metal duct fabrication methods
• Supports efficient field assembly without additional fasteners at the seam

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sheet metal accessory for use with standard rectangular duct systems fabricated to SMACNA duct construction specifications.

Installation Notes

S-cleats are installed by sheet metal mechanics and HVAC technicians during duct system assembly or modification. Shut down the air handling system before working on connected ductwork. The cleat is slid onto the folded edges of adjoining duct sections and tapped firmly into place using a mallet or hand seamer. All duct joints should be sealed with approved duct sealant or tape and supported per SMACNA guidelines and local mechanical code requirements.
