HVAC Finishing Materials & Accessories

When implementing an HVAC system for any project, establishing a detailed material list is a critical step that cannot be overlooked. This guide provides a clear understanding of the full range of necessary HVAC accessories, categorized to help you select the right components for your specific project. By following these standards, you can avoid material shortages, prevent cost overruns, and ensure technical compliance during construction.

Complete HVAC Materials List by Category

When installing an HVAC system, clearly understanding the materials list is a decisive factor affecting construction quality and project progress. Below is a complete HVAC materials list, divided into common practical construction categories.


HVAC Mechanical Materials

The mechanical materials group is the foundation for efficient HVAC system operation. Includes:

  • Air ducts: Round ducts, square ducts, flexible ducts; made from galvanized steel or stainless steel depending on project requirements.

  • Copper pipes: Used for air conditioning, refrigerant piping; insulated and non-insulated types.

  • Elbows, bends, tees, shut-off valves, check valves, and connection fittings.

  • Supports and hangers: Box steel, strut channels, threaded rods with pipe clamps.

These materials must meet standard dimensions, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and be inspected before installation.


HVAC Electrical Control Materials

The control section manages automatic HVAC operation, including:

  • Central control panel: Integrated with PLC or BMS.

  • Temperature, humidity, and pressure sensors: Inputs for the smart control system.

  • Contactor, relay, MCB, wiring: Switching and electrical protection devices.

Note: Choose equipment with quality certificates (CO, CQ) and clear origin from reputable manufacturers such as Schneider, Siemens, ABB...


Insulation and Thermal Materials

This group helps save energy and protect the system from thermal loss:

  • Insulation for copper pipes and air ducts: PE foam, PU foam, or vulcanized rubber.

  • Thermal insulation boards: Used in plant rooms, ceilings, and walls.

  • Adhesive and aluminum foil tape: Used to bond insulation materials.

Depending on project conditions (temperature, humidity, environment), suitable insulation materials should be selected to ensure long service life.


Classification of HVAC Materials by Work Scope

For effective HVAC installation, materials should be clearly categorized by work scope. This helps optimize warehouse management, simplify ordering, and control quality at each construction stage.


Materials for Air Duct and Copper Pipe Installation

Main materials include:

  • Round ducts, square ducts, elbows, tees, dampers, silencers.

  • Insulated copper pipes, pipe fittings, specialized adhesive.

  • Aluminum foil tape, pipe clamps, hanging brackets.

This group requires precise measurement according to shop drawings to avoid shortages or excess materials that cause waste.


Pipeline and Support Accessories

Supporting accessories are essential to ensure stable system operation:

  • Threaded rods, pipe clamps, strut channels, L-brackets.

  • Anti-vibration rubber, spring isolators.

  • Cable trays and ladders used with the electrical system.

Proper installation of supports according to standards increases durability and safety of the entire system.


Air Conditioning, Ventilation and Compressor Equipment

This is the main group with high value:

  • Outdoor units, indoor units, AHU, FCU.

  • Ventilation fans, roof exhaust fans, centrifugal fans.

  • Compressors, refrigerant cylinders, charging gauges.

Capacity, airflow, brand, and warranty policy must be checked when selecting these devices.


Air Duct Accessories and Their Role in HVAC Installation

Many HVAC construction problems arise not from main equipment but from improper selection or installation of duct accessories. Therefore, understanding each accessory and its role is essential to ensure stable operation, energy saving, and reduced air leakage.


Types of Elbows, Bends, Tees and Dampers

These components help change direction, branch, or control airflow:

  • Square elbow, round elbow: Used to change airflow direction by 90 degrees.

  • Radius elbow: Reduces pressure loss more than square elbow, suitable for high-performance systems.

  • Tee duct: Splits airflow from one into two or three directions.

  • Backdraft damper, volume control damper (manual or motorized): Adjust airflow at specific positions.

Selecting the correct size and matching standard with the main duct reduces pressure loss and noise.


Technical Standards for Selecting Accessories

Standards to follow:

  • Material: Stainless steel or galvanized steel thickness 0.5–1.2 mm depending on duct diameter.

  • Joint: Welded or flanged connection – ensure airtightness and minimize leakage.

  • Coating: Anti-rust coating is recommended for outdoor or humid environments.

Accessories must be manufactured in sync with the main duct to avoid size mismatch or incompatibility during installation.


Notes When Installing Air Duct Accessories

Important practical notes:

  • Do not install square elbow at the first branch – use a radius elbow instead.

  • Do not use manual damper in hard-to-access locations – use motorized or automatic damper.

  • Measure and pressure-test before insulation wrapping to detect leakage if any.

Following correct installation techniques extends system life and reduces maintenance cost.


Electrical Control Equipment in HVAC Systems

An HVAC system cannot operate smoothly without the “brain” – the electrical control equipment. Although small in investment value, it is a key factor for automation and intelligent operation.


Sensors, Switches and Controllers

Key components include:

  • Temperature/pressure/CO2 sensors: Inputs for environmental control.

  • Flow switch, pressure switch: Monitor operating status.

  • DDC controller, PLC: Signal processing and operation logic programming.

Selection should consider accuracy, signal delay, and compatibility with the central control panel.


Central Control Panel

The control panel links all control signals and supplies power:

  • Includes: Contactor, relay, timer, selector switch, indicator light, phase protection relay, central controller.

  • Depending on project scale, standalone panels or integrated BMS panels are used.

  • Install in a ventilated and accessible location for easy maintenance and inspection.


Electrical Cables and Auxiliary Materials

Small materials but affect system stability:

  • Heat-resistant flexible wires, shielded signal cables.

  • Conduits, plastic trunking, cable lugs, terminal blocks, cable trays.

  • Labels, electrical boards, circuit testing tools.

HVAC electrical installation must follow wiring diagrams and connection layout, especially in systems with remote control or smart building integration.


How to Select Suitable HVAC Materials for Each Project Type

There is no single HVAC material set suitable for all projects. Depending on purpose, scale, and budget, investors must select the most suitable materials to ensure efficiency and system lifespan.


Residential Projects, Apartments, Villas

Small space, high aesthetic requirement, and low noise priority:

  • Flexible insulated round ducts for quiet operation and easy ceiling installation.

  • Residential inverter air conditioners, energy-saving, WiFi remote control.

  • Compact accessories, easy maintenance, minimal ceiling space.

  • Simplified system using modular control panel for future upgrade.


Industrial Projects, Factories

Require large airflow and 24/7 operation:

  • Square ducts ≥ 1mm thickness, anti-rust coating for outdoor installation.

  • High-power centrifugal fans with inverter control.

  • Central control panel integrated with SCADA or BMS.

  • Use IP65/IP67 rated sensors and electrical materials for dust and water protection.


Common Mistakes When Selecting Materials

  • Incorrect duct size causing air accumulation and higher energy consumption.

  • Ignoring silencers leading to loud system noise.

  • Oversaving on control panel making future expansion difficult.

Consult MEP designers or experienced contractors to avoid mistakes.
