Professional Notes

The Deflecto A068/4 Semi-Rigid Duct is intended for use by HVAC and mechanical contractors installing ventilation systems where flexibility and durability are required. The 3003 aluminum alloy construction provides superior rigidity compared to foil ducts, maintaining round shape and low static pressure loss after installation. Its Class 0 rating ensures non-combustibility and compliance with mechanical code requirements. The duct should be installed fully extended to minimize restriction, and all joints should be mechanically fastened and sealed according to local code standards.
