It provides a secure, airtight coupling point between flex duct runs, helping maintain consistent airflow and system efficiency. This type of fitting is a standard component in forced-air heating and cooling installations and is typically installed by licensed HVAC technicians during new construction, system retrofits, or duct repair work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 97FC5 is suited for use in residential forced-air systems and light commercial HVAC applications where flexible duct connections are required. It is appropriate for supply or return air duct assemblies in attic, crawlspace, or conditioned-space installations. Installers should follow applicable SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes when routing and securing flex duct runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for joining flexible ductwork sections in forced-air HVAC systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProvides a secure coupling interface to maintain airflow continuity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManufactured by SOUTHWARK METAL, a recognized name in sheet metal and duct fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAppropriate for both new construction and retrofit duct installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit connector for flexible duct systems in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified sheet metal workers. Shut down the air handling unit and confirm the system is de-energized before beginning any duct work. Secure flex duct to the connector with approved metal draw bands or clamps and seal all connections with UL 181-listed mastic or foil tape per local mechanical code requirements. Do not overtighten bands in a way that collapses the inner liner of the flex duct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flex Duct Connector\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: SOUTHWARK METAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 97FC5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SOUTHWARK METAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51306350674226,"sku":"97FC5","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/309549468.webp?v=1781290103","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/southwark-metal-97fc5-flex-duct-connector","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
