Description

ATCO's UPC #031(R-8) is a UL 181 Class 1 Air Duct and is manufactured with a reinforced metallized polyester jacket. The UPC #031(R-8) inner core is air-tight and is designed for low-to-medium operating pressures in HVAC systems.

Construction

A double lamination of tough polyester which encapsulates a steel wire helix forms the air-tight inner core to ATCO's UPC #031(R-8). The double layer core is wrapped in a multiple thickness blanket of fiberglass insulation and sheathed in a rugged and durable tri-directionally reinforced metallized polyester jacket.

Applications

UPC #031(R-8) is designed for indoor use as a supply and return air duct in residential and commercial low-to-medium pressure heating and air conditioning systems. ATCO's UPC#031(R-8) can be used as a complete air duct system and/or a branch duct connecting to mixing boxes, diffusers, light troffers, room inlets or other terminal devices.
