Southwark Metal 97FC10 Flex Duct Connector

Product Description

The SOUTHWARK METAL 97FC10 is a flex duct connector designed to join flexible ductwork sections within residential and light commercial HVAC systems. This fitting provides a secure, airtight transition between flex duct runs, helping maintain airflow efficiency across the distribution system. It is a standard installation component used by HVAC technicians during new construction, system replacement, or duct repair work. The connector is built to withstand the thermal cycling and pressure conditions typical of forced-air heating and cooling systems.

The 97FC10 is suited for use in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC applications where flexible ductwork is routed through attics, crawlspaces, or framed cavities. It is installed at connection points between flex duct segments or between a flex duct run and a plenum, trunk, or diffuser collar. HVAC technicians use this fitting as part of standard duct system assembly and repair procedures.

Key Features

• Designed for secure connection between flexible ductwork sections
• Supports airtight duct assembly to minimize conditioned air loss
• Suitable for residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems
• Compatible with standard flex duct installation practices

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit connector for flexible ductwork systems in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians following local mechanical codes and SMACNA duct construction standards. Power down the air handling unit and confirm the system is depressurized before working on any duct section. Secure the flex duct to the connector with an approved draw band or clamp and seal all joints with UL 181-rated mastic or foil tape. Do not rely on duct tape alone for long-term sealing.
