Flexible connectors are necessary for making fabric compensators. These compensators help to avoid the transmission of vibrations in spiral or rectangular ductwork and suitable for acoustic
decoupling. Thus, flexible connectors frequently serve as a connecting element between devices or fans and ventilation ducts.
Flexible connectors consist of a fabric, e.g. polyester with PVC coating or glass fibre with PU coating, which is secured to sheet metal on both sides. The sheet metal can be made of galvanised
steel or stainless steel. If assembled correctly, the produced compensators are suitable for sealing class C.
In order to isolate vibrations caused by air handling units, fans or other equipment connected to air ducts, it is highly recommended to install a flexible duct connector joint between the outlet
of these devices and the airduct. It is necessary to select an airtight and flexible cloth, with good weathering qualities and one which will withstand the temperatures inside and outside the
duct. Duct being generally made of steel, the main difficulty is to fasten the cloth to it in order to obtain a perfectly airtight joint. Easy flex duct connectors are perfect for this job.
