PROflex duct connector now comes in master roll lengths

Following the success of standard 100ft PROflex cartons, Ductmate is responding to customer feedback with new master roll lengths of 1000, 750 and 500ft.

PROflex is a flexible duct connector designed to isolate equipment noise and vibration from the ductwork, consisting of a fabric secured to sheet metal on both sides. Typically, the connector is inserted between the equipment and the ductwork.

Flexible duct connectors are widely used in commercial, industrial, and residential HVAC applications. PROflex offers the following special characteristics:

Airtight and waterproof at 10 w.g. positive and negative
Double-lock gripping fingers of metal to fabric adds to holding power
Designed to meet NFPA 90A and 90B specifications
Pre-assembled with sheet metal permanently secured to the fabric
Fabrics are NFPA 701 listed (except Teflon®)
Available in six fabrics and five alloys for any configuration
Fabrics include UL Listed and LA Approved Super Duty Vinyl

How can PROflex master rolls increase efficiency and labor savings while reducing scrap?

PROflex master rolls, when used in conjunction with any automated flexible duct connector machinery, will significantly reduce labor time and machine downtime, resulting in notable labor savings on every project. With less machine downtime and changeover time, your shop efficiency will skyrocket. When PROflex master rolls are placed on a skid, loading and unloading with a forklift is a breeze, resulting in additional time savings.

PROflex master rolls are perfect for larger shops that use a large amount of flexible duct connectors. The more you use, the more you save.

A PROflex 1000ft master roll will significantly reduce the scrap produced compared to the standard 100ft roll. Over the course of a few projects, the amount of scrap coming from a standard 100ft PROflex roll could add up to the cost of another standard 100 ft PROflex box.

An automated flexible duct connector machine used with PROflex master rolls will also allow you to take the guesswork and the possibility of user error out of the cutting process.

What if I need a smaller length of PROflex?

If you need a smaller length of PROflex, that’s not a problem! Ductmate will work with your needs to minimize scrap. Typically, PROflex is sold at a standard 100ft length and is available with or without metal attached in various widths.

Ductmate understands that 1000ft master rolls may be too much for most, so PROflex is also sold in multiple lengths, including 500ft and 750ft.

Can I customize my order of PROflex?

PROflex is available in six fabrics and five alloys for any configuration. Specialty fabrics include UL Listed and LA Approved Super Duty Vinyl. PROflex metals are available in galvanized, stainless, aluminum, and more. For other alloys, fabric sizes, or chemical-resistant properties, consult your nearest Ductmate distributor.

As always, we’re happy to work with you to deliver the products you need.
