Spiralmate®

A duct connector system that is time saving and cost effective on spiral duct. The systems engineering is based on over a decade of experience gained in the development of the very successful Ductmate '25' and '35' systems. The connection is simple to complete. No additional sealing is required to complete airtight connections every time in your shop or on the job site. Spiralmate works on all types of round duct and adjusts automatically to slight duct diameter variations. Ductmate also offers an Inner Ring for use with Spiralmate on Double Wall round connections.

TECHNICAL DATA

The characteristics of a particular duct connection or joint are usually referenced to the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors National Association (SMACNA) Manuals. SMACNA encourages the use of new technology, but does not endorse proprietary products. The Spiralmate Duct Connector System has been tested by Professional Service Industries, Inc., a division of Pittsburgh Testing Laboratories, with test results as noted. No external sealant was employed and the certified test results reveal: Virtually no leakage at up to 18" WG positive pressure or down to 10" WG negative pressure. Complete test data is available on request.

COMPOSITION AND MATERIALS

The Spiralmate Round Duct Connector Systems consists of the following components:

Two mating Round Duct Connector Flanges of roll-formed galvanized steel with an integral sealant.
A Closure Ring of roll-formed galvanized steel.
Mastic: Ductmate DM5511M
Gasket: Ductmate DM440 and Neoprene.

LIMITATIONS

The Spiralmate Round Duct Connector is not recommended for applications with spiral lock seam duct gauges heavier than 16 GA or longitudinal seamed duct heavier than 12 GA. Width of pocket is sufficient to accommodate spiral lock.

Consult factory prior to using Spiralmate with ductwork over 16 gauge. Width of the Spiralmate pocket is sufficient to accommodate up to 16 gauge spiral duct. Pocket sizes, small ±.180, and large ±.250.

GUARANTEES

All components of the Spiralmate System are guaranteed against defective material.

TECHNICAL SERVICES

Detailed assembly and installation instructions, showing step-by-step procedures, are available from the manufacturer and are routinely sent to all new customers. Factory trained personnel are available upon request at no charge to instruct new customers in the use of the Spiralmate System.

DUCTMATE GASKET TAPES

Neoprene Gasket Tape 5/16" x 3/4"
Neoprene Gasket Tape is a synthetic, closed cell, rubber-based sealing tape. Excellent for use as a gasket tape between connecting ductwork which has to be periodically taken apart for cleaning purposes.
