Value Collection 99308000 Galvanized Duct Flex Connector

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 99308000 is a galvanized duct flex connector designed to provide a flexible transition point in sheet metal ductwork systems. With an 8-inch inside diameter and an overall length of 3.75 inches, this connector accommodates minor misalignment, vibration, and thermal movement between duct sections. The galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in typical HVAC air distribution applications. HVAC technicians and sheet metal contractors install this fitting during new construction and service work on residential and light commercial forced-air systems.

This flex connector is suited for use in supply and return air duct assemblies where a short, flexible transition is needed between rigid duct segments. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial HVAC installations requiring an 8-inch round duct fitting. The compact 3.75-inch length makes it practical in tight mechanical spaces where a longer flex section is not feasible.

Key Features

• 8-inch inside diameter fits standard round duct runs
• Overall length of 3.75 inches for use in confined spaces
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Flex connector design absorbs vibration and accommodates minor duct misalignment
• Standard gauge construction consistent with commercial HVAC duct fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 8-inch round galvanized ductwork in residential and light commercial forced-air HVAC systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified sheet metal contractor. Shut down and de-energize the air handling unit before beginning any duct modification or fitting replacement. Secure both ends of the flex connector to the adjoining duct sections using sheet metal screws and foil-backed duct tape or mastic sealant in accordance with local mechanical codes and SMACNA guidelines. Do not over-compress the connector, as this restricts airflow and defeats the vibration-isolation purpose of the fitting.
