Clampia Duct Elbow

A duct elbow, also known as an air duct elbow or a duct bend, is a component used in heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) systems and some other ducting systems to change the direction of airflow in a duct. It is a curved section of ductwork that is typically made of sheet metal or flexible material and is used to connect two sections of straight duct at an angle.

The elbow is designed to provide a smooth transition between the straight sections of ductwork, without causing any significant disruption to the flow of air. The angle of the bend can vary, but commonly ranges between 30 and 90 degrees. The most common angles are 45 and 90 degrees.

Duct elbows come in a variety of sizes to accommodate different duct diameters and airflow rates. They can be round, rectangular or square in shape, depending on the shape of the ductwork they are being used with.

**Segmented Elbows **

segment bends

Segmented duct bends, also known as segmented elbows, are a type of duct elbow that consists of multiple smaller segments, each angled at a predetermined degree, that can be assembled to create the desired angle of bend. These segments are typically joined together using either a slip-fit or a flange connection.

Segmented duct bends are useful when the required angle of bend is not a standard angle like 90 degrees, and a custom angle needs to be created. They come in a range of angles, including 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90°, as well as other custom angles. By combining multiple segments, it is possible to create a bend of any desired angle.

**Stitch-welded Elbows**

duct elbow

Stitched weld pressed bends, also known as pressed bends or pressed elbows, are a type of duct elbow that is constructed by pressing a flat sheet of metal into half shells in advance, which are then joined together using a combination of stitch welding and pressing.

The process of making stitched weld pressed bends typically involves using a specialized machine that applies pressure to the flat sheet of metal, like galvanized sheet, causing it to bend into a predetermined shape. The resulting curved section is usually a half bend, that can be easily assembled into the desired angle of bend. The half shell has a small lip or flange that is pressed down, creating a tight seal with a quick fit clamp when assembled.

**Tube Elbows**

tubed elbow

Tubed duct elbows are a great option for paper trim and oil mist applications due to their seamless construction and other high pressure ducting systems. These elbows are made of galvanized that is mechanically bent to create a non-seamed tubing. This allows for a tight, leak-free fit when combined with a rolled-lipped collar or an angle ring flange. 

Clampia provides more high pressure tube elbows and fittings. Contact us for more information.

What is Clipped Ducting?

quick fit tube

The clip ducting is kind of name of clamp together ducting system. As a sheet metal ductwork supplier, Clampia manufactures many components for clipped ducting, like straight length pipe, bends, and branches.

Clipped ducting is a type of ducting that has rolled or turned-out edges at each end. This allows one piece to be securely clamped to the next using quick-release ducting clamps. It is different from spiral ducting because it can be easily clipped together.

Clipped ducting is designed to provide a smoother internal bore and simple assembly. It can be easily dismantled for cleaning purposes and replacing worn parts. The use of quick clamps reduces leakage, offering improved airflow.

Sometimes, clipped ducting is referred to by different names, including quick fit, fast clamp, or rolled edge ducting.

What are the Advantages of Clipped Ducting?

Clipped ducting

There are several reasons why clipped ducting is better than standard spiral ducting, which are as follows:

  • It can be installed quickly – With ducting, timing is everything. That’s why clipped ducting is a popular choice for many businesses – it can be installed quickly and efficiently. Estimates show that installation and downtime are reduced by 45% compared to standard installations. This is a huge saving in both time and money, and it’s one of the main reasons businesses choose clipped ducting over other options. Clipped ducting is not only quick and simple to put up, but it’s also extremely long-lasting and robust, making it an excellent choice for businesses that need to keep their operations going.
  • It is extremely easy to install – Installation of clipped ducting is a breeze. The first step is to determine where you want your ducting to run. Once you have an idea of the route, simply measure and cut the required length of ducting. Next, use a clip to attach the ducting to the wall or ceiling. Clip installation does not require special tools or skills – anyone can do it! And because clipped ducting comes in various sizes, you can easily customize your installation to meet your specific needs. If you want to make your house’s air quality better, consider clipped ducting. It’s cost-effective and simple to use, and it works!
  • It fits most applications – Ducting is an important part of many systems, from the automotive exhaust to HVAC. It is typically made from various materials, including metals, plastics, and fiberglass. Clipped ducting is a type of ducting that uses clips or clamps to secure the ducting in place. This type of ducting is easier to install and remove than other types. Clipped ducting is also more versatile, as it can be fitted onto or adapted into existing systems. As a result, clipped ducting is an excellent choice for a wide range of applications.
  • It can be used again & again – Clipped ducting is a type of industrial ducting that uses clips rather than screws or bolts to hold it together. This makes it quick and easy to dismantle and reassemble, which is handy if your business needs change or you need to redesign your production processes. It is also useful if you move premises, as you can easily take your ducting and set it up in your new location. Clipped ducting is a versatile and practical solution for many businesses and can be used repeatedly.
  • There will be fewer leaks & better airflow – A well-sealed duct system is crucial to the efficiency of your HVAC system, and one of the best ways to ensure a tight seal is to use clipped ducting. Clipped seams are less likely to snag and cause leaks, and the rubber gaskets create an additional barrier against air leakage. In addition, the smooth surfaces of clipped ducts allow for better airflow, which can improve the efficiency of your HVAC system. When it comes to ductwork, a little extra effort can go a long way in ensuring a sealed system that functions at its best.

Is it Easy to Install Clipped Ducting?

The quick answer is yes, it is easy to install clipped ducting. The entire process can be completed in minutes, and you won’t need specialized tools or equipment. Just follow these simple steps:

  1. Lay out your ducting on the floor below where it will be installed. Clip the ducting together, using the brackets to support it.

  2. Hang the ducting from the ceiling or other support structures. Make sure that the clips face downwards so they can grip onto the edges of the ducting.

  3. Attach the clips to the ducting using screws or nails. Make sure that the clips are evenly spaced along the length of the ducting.

  4. That’s it! Your clipped ducting is now installed and ready to use.

How do You Fit Clipped Ducting Together?

Joining clipped ducting is a quick and easy process that anyone can do. All you need is a quick-release clamp, which you can use to clip two pieces of ducting together. When it comes to clipping ducting together, the key is to pre-stretch the clamp before connecting the pieces. This will make it easier to close and create a tighter seal. To pre-stretch, simply wrap the clamp around the rolled edge of one piece of ducting before connecting it with the other. However, remember that some pressure is necessary in order to fully secure the seal. Once closed, double-check that there are no gaps or loose spots before moving on to the next section of ducting. Overall, pre-stretching the clamp will make fitting clipped ducting together much simpler and more efficient.Once you’ve done that, joining clipped ducting is a breeze.

How Do You Disconnect Clipped Ducting?

Disconnecting clipped ducting is simple. To disconnect the ducting, first, remove the ducting clamps. These clamps can be unclipped and slid off. Once the clamps are removed, the ducting can be easily removed. Finally, disconnect any other accessories attached to the ducting, such as hoses or pipes.

How to Support Clipped Ducting

It is important to support any kind of ducting with the correct bracketry. Ducting that is not properly supported can sag over time, making it more difficult for air to flow through and potentially leading to joint failure. Suspension clips are typically used to support ductwork hung from the ceiling, while split clips are used to support ductwork attached to the wall.

Both types of clips are available in various sizes to accommodate different duct sizes. In addition, it is important to use the correct number of clips for the length of ducting being supported. Too few clips will cause the ductwork to sag, while too many clips will strain the joints unnecessarily. You may prevent costly repairs and prolong the useful life of your ductwork by following these simple instructions.

How to Clamp Clipped Ducting

Please remember a few things when clamping and clipped ducting.

  • First, make sure that the quick-release clips are facing the right way. The clips should open towards the direction of airflow.
  • Second, line up the two pieces of ducting so that the seams are flush. If the seams are not aligned, it will be difficult to get a tight seal.
  • Finally, gently squeeze the handles of the quick-release clip until they click into place.

Once the clip is secured, the connection should be airtight. Following these simple steps ensures that your ducting is properly clamped and ready for use.

Is Clipped Ducting Cheaper than Regular Spiral Ducting?

Here are some factors to consider when determining whether clipped or regular spiral ducting is cheaper. The initial cost of purchasing clipped ducting may be more than that of purchasing spiral ducting, but savings are made when the ducting is installed. Clipped ducting is also extremely versatile and can be fixed together much quicker than standard spiral ducting, so a lot more can be installed simultaneously.

When it comes to investigating and cleaning clipped ducting, it is extremely easy as the ducting can simply be unclipped. In addition, modifications to the system layout can be made quickly. Finally, if the business is to move premises, clipped ducting systems can be easily dismantled and reassembled at the new premises. When comparing the costs of various ducting types, these factors must be factored in.

How do I Adjust the Length of Clipped Ducting?

Slip joint ducts are handy when you need to make minor adjustments to the length of your clipped ducting. These can fill small gaps and ensure that everything fits snugly together. If you’re working with a section of ducting that’s too long, you can cut it to size and then cover the cut end with a slip duct.

This will help to create an airtight seal and prevent any air leakage. To do this, simply cut the duct at the point where it meets the next piece of ducting (i.e., at the end that the air is moving towards). Then, place a gasket over the cut end and slip the ducting over it. This will ensure a snug fit and secure your ducting in place.

For example, if you’re using 4″ diameter ducting, you would need to use a 4″ gasket. You can find these gaskets at most hardware stores. Once you have your gasket in place, simply slip the end of the ducting over it and tighten any clamps that may be necessary to keep it in place. This simple adjustment will help create a more efficient airflow and prevent unwanted air leakage.
