PRODUCT INFORMATION:

 

FlexRight is an innovative new product designed to help contractors install "flex right.” The radius forming brace is engineered to eliminate airflow restrictions and improve HVAC system efficiency in commercial and residential buildings by shaping flexible duct into efficient 90° elbows. 

 

A major source of excessive energy consumption is restricted airflow caused by improperly installed and kinked flexible ducts (similar to the restricted water flow in a kinked garden hose). Restricted airflow causes air handlers, furnaces, and A/C units to run longer cycles wasting and consuming excessive amounts of energy. According to the Department of Energy, HVAC systems account for 40% to 60% of the energy used in U.S. commercial and residential buildings.

FlexRight is specifically designed to improve airflow, save energy, and help meet flexible duct installation radius bend standards and guidelines as recommended by SMACNA, Air Diffusion Council, Energy Star, and ASHRAE.
