hvac ductHVAC Duct Using Hdpe Pipe

Oxford Plastics manufactures hvac duct for the delivery and removal of air from commercial and industrial facilities. The need for reliable and durable HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) duct continues to grow at a rapid rate as we learn more about our indoor environment. Aside from its excellent flow rates, durability and chemical resistance, hdpe duct displays a flexibility that is very convenient for attaching supply air outlets to a rigid hvac duct system. Loss of air can be reduced by as much as 25% due to its smooth inner surface which also means smaller pipes and less powerful ventilation equipment lowering both installation and operating costs. Due to its light weight, plastic hvac duct is also easy and less expensive to transport, install and to maintain.

Hvac Duct Systems
With green building and other energy conservation measures
transforming our indoor working environment, hvac duct plays a much larger role in reducing energy loss, improving air quality and thermal comfort. Poor ventilation is a leading cause of health problems due to the dangerous gases, chemicals, particles, dust and pollen that are often found in the industrial workplace. Well designed hvac duct not only protects you, your family, and your employees from unpleasant odors, irritating pollutants, and potentially dangerous gases, a well designed hvac system can save you a lot of time and money. Hvac duct removes moisture which encourages the growth of mold, mildew, bacteria, dust mites, dry rot, and insects. It protects the structural integrity of the building, reduces your maintenance costs and increases the value of the building.

hdpe ventilation ductAdvantages of Using Hdpe Pipe for Hvac Duct
Hdpe pipe is well known for its flexibility and lightweight.
Flexible duct, also known simply as "flex", is very convenient for attaching supply air outlets to the rigid ductwork. Its flexibility also allows for easy adjustment to restricted space, bends and corners. This is a great advantage especially given all the various configurations one might find in an indoor ventilation system. Whether you're dealing with exhaust fans that remove air from a single room, i.e., bathrooms and kitchens, or complex air handling systems, using hvac duct that is flexible will make your job much easier.

Hvac duct is also leak free and capable of handling chemically abrasive materials often found in a hvac system. With heat fusion joints, above ground assembly is easily done before laying.

Its smooth interior also makes it attractive for its high flow rates making it easier to move air and contaminants through the system placing less demands on the ventilation equipment. Easy installation and maintenance costs compared to other piping materials such as steel, make our pipe a popular choice with contractors as ventilation duct.

Our hvac duct offers incredible durability and longevity. It remains strong and will retain its original properties for a minimum of 30 years. It can be plowed in, pulled through existing ventilation pipe, buried in open trenches, and run above ground, around bends and corners.

  • Flexible and Lightweight
  • High Flow Rates
  • Leak Free
  • Abrasive and Chemically Resistant
  • Durable
  • Easy Installation
  • Custom Color

Our hvac duct is produced in continuous coils or spools in any suitable length to fit your application. Sizes range from 1" to 18" in diameter and also be custom ordered in any color for color coding to suit customer specification.

While the installation of hvac duct can be a costly investment in the short term, the cost to your health and building can't be ignored. If you're thinking about making a long term investment in a ventilation system for your facility, let our extensive experience in hvac piping help you to make the right decision.
