  • Structure of Rigid Aluminum Flexible Duct

    Multi-layer Pure Aluminum Material

    The duct is manufactured from multiple layers of pure aluminum, typically 2–3 layers or more depending on size. Using pure aluminum enhances oxidation resistance, improves heat tolerance, and prevents cracking, corrosion, or aging during continuous operation in high-temperature environments. Aluminum is also non-combustible, ensuring fire safety in compliance with international standards.

    9-Corrugation Reinforced Structure

    The most distinctive feature is the uniform 9-corrugation structure running along the entire duct length. This design provides:

    • Increased elasticity, allowing easy extension and compression during installation

    • Reduced risk of kinking or deformation when bending

    • Maintains stable shape despite sudden temperature or pressure changes

    • Corrugated ribs help reduce noise and vibration during high-speed airflow

    Compatible with Multiple Connection Types

    The rigid fire-resistant aluminum flexible duct is compatible with round, oval, and rectangular connections. Thanks to its high elasticity, the duct can be connected directly without transition fittings such as reducers, elbows, or gaskets, reducing installation time and cost significantly.

    Key Advantages of Fire-Resistant Flexible Duct

    Among various duct types available on the market, rigid aluminum fire-resistant flexible duct stands out thanks to its strong technical performance and versatile applications.

    Heat Resistance up to 435°C

    One of the most outstanding advantages is its ability to withstand temperatures up to 435°C (tested according to ASTM D4591). This ensures stable operation in environments such as:

    • Hot air extraction in industrial kitchens

    • Smoke exhaust in basements and commercial centers

    • Hot air transfer in boiler systems

    High heat resistance is a critical factor for fire and explosion safety, especially in projects requiring strict fire protection standards.

    Fire Resistance Compliant with ASTM D635 & UL 94

    The product meets two major fire safety standards:

    • ASTM D635: Flame spread rate test on material surface

    • UL 94: Self-extinguishing capability when exposed to flame

    This confirms that the duct is non-flammable, helping prevent flame spread during electrical faults or sudden temperature increases.

    No Fittings Required for Installation

    With a flexible bending radius of only 0.54 × D, the duct can be easily installed in narrow, confined, or complex spaces. No need for elbows or reducers, reducing accessory and labor costs.

    The rigid structure also prevents collapse when bent, ensuring stable airflow without blockage or back pressure.

    Practical Applications of Fire-Resistant Flexible Duct

    This duct not only offers excellent specifications but also proves effective in many real-world systems. It is highly rated by MEP engineers for durability and easy installation in various environments.

    HVAC and Ventilation Systems

    Commonly used for:

    • Central air conditioning systems VRV / VRF

    • Ventilation systems in high-rise buildings and offices

    • Fresh air supply and light exhaust

    Its elasticity reduces vibration and cracking compared to rigid metal ducts, while fire resistance and insulation ensure maximum HVAC safety.

    Hot Air, Smoke, and Vapor Exhaust in Industrial Kitchens

    Especially effective in high-temperature smoke environments such as:

    • BBQ grills in restaurants

    • Industrial frying systems

    • Ovens and industrial boilers

    Since the duct is non-flammable and does not release toxic gases, it is a safer alternative to plastic or composite ducts.

    Boiler and High-Rise Building Systems

    Boiler systems generate high temperature and pressure, requiring ducts with strong resistance. This duct is ideal because:

    • Does not collapse under pressure

    • Maintains airtightness, preventing toxic gas leakage

    • Long lifespan with minimal maintenance

    Also widely used in basements, parking garages, and commercial centers for smoke extraction and forced ventilation systems.


    How to Choose the Right Flexible Duct

    Should You Choose D100 or D400?

    Duct diameter directly affects airflow and pressure. Selection guidelines:

    • D100 – D150 mm: Household kitchen exhaust, small AC exhaust

    • D200 – D250 mm: Restaurants, medium exhaust systems

    • D300 – D400 mm: Large buildings, commercial centers, parking garages

    Note: Larger diameter requires larger bending radius, so installation space must be considered.

    Check Technical Standards Before Purchase

    Ensure the product meets:

    • Fire resistance: ASTM D635 & UL 94 — Non-flammable, limits flame spread

    • Working pressure: > 2500 Pa — Stable under strong airflow systems

    • Tensile strength: ≥ 22 N/cm² — Prevents tearing during installation

    Also request CO/CQ (Certificate of Origin & Quality) from suppliers to ensure genuine products meeting technical standards.


    Rigid fire-resistant aluminum flexible duct stands out not only for its high heat resistance but also for its elasticity, durability, and ease of installation in various environments. Choosing a product that meets proper technical standards ensures long-term safety and performance of your system. Always verify specifications and purchase from a reliable supplier for the best results.
