Compare Plastic to Metal
Metal Disadvantages
(Cost In-Efficiency)
- Heavy and bulky
- Time consuming to install
- Requires tape and/or mastic for secure seal
- Susceptibility to rust, corrosion, and denting
- Need to stock different collars for ductboard and metal trunklines
- Rising metal prices
(Personal Injury)
- Sharp edges and constant finger cuts
- Some have told us a severe cut can cost $100/stitch and 2 days labor productivity
(Energy In-Efficiency)
- Loose connections
- Damper will NOT stay in place or seal
- Potential for leakage due to loose metal-to-metal seam
- Conductive energy loss
- Low insulation value
Plus the Quick Connect's revolutionary design lets you pre-install your flex duct before getting in the attic or crawl space.
