Cain Manufacturing EN100 Flexible Duct Connector 28GA

Product Description

The CAIN MANUFACTURING EN100 is an economy-grade flexible duct connector designed for industrial light commercial HVAC applications. Built under the NEOFLEX 23 OZ product line, it features a fabric center section flanked by formed metal collars on each side. The metal sections measure 2.75 inches each, and the fabric section spans 4 inches, giving the connector a compact overall profile suitable for connecting duct sections at air handling units, fans, and blowers. The 28-gauge metal collar construction and S-Loc seam provide a secure mechanical connection. Licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors are the primary installers of this connector type.

This flexible duct connector is suited for light commercial and industrial HVAC systems where vibration isolation between fan outlets and ductwork is required. The economy-grade designation makes it appropriate for applications where budget constraints are a factor without sacrificing basic functional performance. Typical install locations include rooftop units, air handling units, and inline fan assemblies in light commercial buildings.

Key Features

• Economy grade construction for light commercial and industrial duty applications
• NEOFLEX 23 OZ fabric center section spanning 4 inches for vibration isolation
• Dual 2.75-inch 28-gauge metal collar sections on each side of the fabric
• S-Loc seam construction for a secure, mechanically locked joint
• Compact profile fits standard fan outlet and duct connection configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation flexible connector for light commercial and industrial HVAC duct systems requiring a fabric vibration-isolation section between rigid duct components.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed sheet metal contractors or HVAC technicians. Power down and lock out the air handling unit or fan assembly before beginning work. Secure the metal collar sections to existing ductwork using appropriate fasteners and sealant per local mechanical codes. Do not compress or overstretch the fabric section during installation, as this can reduce its vibration-dampening effectiveness.
