Builder's Best Flexible Duct 10X8 FT Flex Aluminum Pipe

The Builder's Best 110383 is a 10 inch diameter by 8 foot flexible aluminum duct for high volume exhaust and ventilation connections.

Ten inch duct indicates a substantial ventilation duty: commercial kitchen exhaust, workshop and garage ventilation, large inline fan installations, and make-up air paths. The flexible section is normally used as a connector between equipment and rigid duct rather than as the main run.

That distinction is more important at large diameters than small ones. A high volume system is presumably designed to move a great deal of air, and the resistance imposed by flexible duct works directly against that objective. The corrugated bore produces considerably more resistance than smooth rigid pipe of the same size, and installing the duct compressed, sagging, or bent through tight radii multiplies the penalty. Where a system is intended to deliver high airflow, running significant lengths in flexible duct undermines the design entirely.

Keep flexible sections as short as the connection allows, stretch them fully, and support them so they do not sag between fixings. Use smooth rigid duct for the main run in every case where it is practical.

Aluminum construction provides the temperature tolerance and durability required for appliance and equipment connections.

Applications include commercial kitchen exhaust, workshop and garage ventilation, inline fan connections, and high volume residential and light commercial ventilation systems.
