About Duct Insulator Spacers
Duct Spacers shall be made from ABS Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS). (1.04 specific gravity
has been chosen by TECAFINE for the manufacture of all interlocking module spacers
because of its flexibility, strength, and resiliency.
(A) Under compressive stress
(B) The spacer modules can be freely handled on the job site without breakage.
Since many utilities install underground systems year-round, and most large projects carry through more than one year, it is important to use a formulaon of ABS for spacers that will not be adversely by the extremes of summer or winter temperares. Finally, Rib wall construction makes it possible to design a spacer which will hold safely the vertical
loads normally encountered when men work atop large duct banks.
Spacers shall consist of interlocking modules. The interlocking modules shall include an
internal vertical channel on both side edges of the spacers. When the duct bank is
assembled.
Reliable Spacing for Effective HVAC InsulationMaintain optimal air gap in duct insulation with our Duct Insulator Spacers. Engineered from virgin grade HDPE, these spacers guarantee high tensile and yield strength while resisting UV rays and corrosion. Designed for atmospheric, non-pressure bearing applications, they meet stringent safety and quality standards, making them an ideal choice for various HVAC projects in commercial and industrial settings.
Effortless Manual InstallationOur spacers are designed for quick and simple manual insertion between insulation materials and duct surfaces. Their push-fit, slip-on connection ensures a rigid, secure hold without tools or adhesives. With a tolerance of 0.5 mm and a fixed bend radius, these spacers fit snugly into position, saving installation time and reducing labor costs.
Durability and PerformanceCrafted from high-quality, non-metallic HDPE, each spacer offers superior corrosion resistance and long-lasting performance. The self-extinguishing V-2 flammability rating as per UL94 ensures enhanced safety, while the smooth, uncoated surface provides minimal friction with insulation materials. Reusable and packaged efficiently, they are both practical and cost-effective for recurring HVAC duct projects.
FAQ's of Duct Insulator Spacers:
Q: How should the Duct Insulator Spacers be installed in HVAC duct insulation?
A: The Duct Insulator Spacers are manually inserted between the insulation material and the duct wall. Their slip-fit, push-on design allows them to stay in place without adhesives or tools, making installation fast and straightforward.
Q: What benefits do these spacers provide in duct insulation systems?
A: These spacers maintain a precise air gap between insulation and duct surfaces, which helps prevent thermal bridging, enhances energy efficiency, and reduces the risk of condensation. Their UV and corrosion resistance ensure reliable long-term performance.
Q: When should these spacers be used during duct installation?
A: Install the spacers while placing insulation onto the ductwork-ideally right before fastening or securing the insulation material-to achieve an even, consistent gap throughout the system.
Q: Where can these spacers be applied in HVAC systems?
A: They are suitable for use in both rectangular and circular sheet metal ducts, commonly found in commercial and industrial HVAC installations where effective insulation spacing is required.
Q: What is the material and safety standard compliance of these spacers?
A: Made from virgin grade HDPE polymer, the spacers feature a self-extinguishing flammability rating (Class V-2 per UL94) and conform to IS 1239 and ASME B16.5 standards.
Q: Are the spacers reusable, and how are they packaged?
A: Yes, these spacers are designed to be reused in multiple projects. They are available in bags or boxes of 100 units for convenient handling and storage.
Q: What makes these spacers especially durable?
A: Their non-metallic, corrosion-resistant HDPE construction, coupled with excellent UV resistance and a smooth, uncoated finish, combines to deliver robust performance and minimize degradation over time.
