The duct features a metallic polyester vapor barrier jacket with a rip-stop scrim reinforcement that resists tearing during handling and installation. The insulated core uses Johns Manville formaldehyde-free fiberglass insulation and carries GREENGUARD Certification. A galvanized metal inner core is oversized to allow easy connection to collars and register boxes. This unit ships in an 8-inch diameter by 25-foot length and is packaged in weather-resistant packaging for jobsite storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis flex duct is suited for supply and return air applications in ducted forced-air systems. The UV-inhibited jacket makes it appropriate for installations where the duct may be exposed to sunlight, such as attic runs or crawlspace work in warmer climates. The oversized core simplifies fitting onto standard collars without the need to stretch or force the inner liner. HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors are the primary installers on both new construction and replacement duct work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRip-stop scrim reinforcement on metallic polyester vapor barrier jacket resists tearing during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eJohns Manville formaldehyde-free fiberglass insulation — GREENGUARD Certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized metal core reinforcing for structural integrity and airflow maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOversized inner core fits standard collars and register boxes without stretching\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUV-inhibited jacket rated for exposed or semi-exposed duct runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets HUD\/FHA standards 515.2.1 Paragraph B, NFPA 90A and 90B, BOCA, and City of Chicago requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style flexible duct for use with standard 8-inch HVAC collars and register boxes in residential and light commercial forced-air distribution systems.

Power down the air handler and close the supply shutoff before cutting into existing ductwork. Secure both ends of the flex duct with approved sheet metal screws and UL-listed duct tape or mastic sealant — do not rely on tape alone at the collar connection. Avoid excessive bends or compression of the liner, which reduces airflow and system efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 54\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: UV-Inhibited\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJacket\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metallic polyester vapor barrier with rip-stop scrim\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsulation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Johns Manville formaldehyde-free fiberglass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInner Core\u003c\/strong\u003e: Galvanized metal reinforcing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: GREENGUARD Certified, NFPA 90A, NFPA 90B, HUD\/FHA 515.2.1 Paragraph B, BOCA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: QUIETFLEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8516\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"QUIETFLEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51268134142258,"sku":"08516","price":198.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/308912044.jpg?v=1780699956","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/quietflex-8516-uv-inhibited-flex-duct-8-inch-25-foot","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
