Flex duct connectors provide a secure, airtight transition point between flexible duct runs, helping maintain system airflow efficiency and reducing uncontrolled air leakage at joints. This type of fitting is a standard component in residential and light commercial duct installations, and is typically handled by licensed HVAC technicians or sheet metal contractors during new construction or duct retrofit work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis connector is suited for use in forced-air heating and cooling systems where flexible duct is routed through attics, crawl spaces, basements, or between floor joists. It serves as a reliable coupling in applications where rigid duct transitions to flex duct or where two flex duct segments must be joined. Installation typically follows local mechanical code requirements and ACCA Manual D duct design standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for joining flexible ductwork sections in forced-air HVAC systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides a secure, low-leakage connection at flex duct joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured by SOUTHWARK METAL, an established sheet metal fabrication brand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for residential and light commercial duct system applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit connector for flexible ductwork used in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or sheet metal contractor in accordance with local mechanical codes and SMACNA duct construction standards. Always shut down and de-energize the air handling system before performing duct work. Secure the flex duct to the connector using approved draw bands or clamps, and seal all joints with UL 181-rated mastic or listed foil tape to meet air leakage requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flex Duct Connector\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SOUTHWARK METAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 97FC20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SOUTHWARK METAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51306817978674,"sku":"97FC20","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/309549477.webp?v=1781299795","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/southwark-metal-97fc20-flex-duct-connector","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
