Mitex 16050 Fire Resistant Duct Panning Sheet 16x47.5 in

Product Description

The MITEX 16050 is an ultra fire resistant duct panning sheet designed for use in forced-air HVAC duct systems. Duct panning sheets serve as the bottom panel of a return-air plenum or duct chase, converting a framed cavity into a functional air passage. This sheet measures 16 inches x 47.5 inches, providing a large-format solution for standard residential and light commercial framing bays. Licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors install this type of component during new construction and retrofit duct fabrication work.

This duct panning sheet is suited for return-air duct applications in residential and light commercial forced-air systems where fire resistance is a code or project requirement. The 16-inch width aligns with common joist bay and framing dimensions, making it a practical fit for floor or ceiling cavity duct runs. It is typically installed by HVAC sheet metal contractors working on trunk-and-branch or plenum-style return systems.

Key Features

• Ultra fire resistant construction for code-sensitive duct applications
• Large-format sheet at 16 inches x 47.5 inches covers standard framing bay widths
• Designed for use as duct panning in return-air plenum and chase assemblies
• Flat sheet format allows field cutting and fitting to job-specific dimensions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation duct panning sheet for residential and light commercial forced-air return-air duct systems where a 16-inch bay width is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or sheet metal contractor in accordance with local mechanical codes and SMACNA duct construction standards. Shut down the air handling system before working on or near any duct section. Secure panning sheets with appropriate fasteners to framing members and seal all seams with listed duct sealant or mastic to maintain system integrity and fire resistance ratings. Do not modify or field-cut in ways that compromise the fire resistant properties of the material.
