PVC Coated Fabric Flexible Ducting
Description
Tecflex 800S is a new and improved version
of the best selling Tecflex 800. This new
construction with the supporting steel wire
helix now embedded between two layers of
fabric produces approximately 10-25% less
resistance! Tecflex 800S is also
environmentally friendly; solvents are no
longer the principle bonding agents. The
estimated solvent reduction is over 90%!
Tecflex 800S is suitable for use in high,
medium and low pressure ventilation and
air conditioning systems. It is also suitable
for use in fume extraction systems. Due to
the materials used in its construction Tecflex
800S is able to withstand repeated flexing
without damage or kinking. Tecflex 800S
complies with the requirements of HVCA
specification DW144.

Construction
Tecflex 800S is manufactured from a tough,
grey coloured fabric comprising a pvc
coating bonded to a tightly woven glass
cloth to provide a tough yet highly flexible,
puncture resistant, ducting. The fabric is
supported by an encapsulated high tensile
steel wire helix. Encapsulation of the wire
helix within the fabric overlap provides an
exceptionally smooth inner wall resulting in
excellent friction loss characteristics.

Flexibility
The selection of an exceptionally durable
fabric together with carefully controlled
manufacturing techniques has resulted in a
highly compressible, ultra flexible ducting.
Tecflex 800S compresses down to
approximately 10% of its extended length –
making connections in confined spaces
considerably easier and reducing installation
times.
Tecflex 800S is supplied in economical 6
metre lengths. However, if longer lengths
are required, two lengths of the same
diameter may be screwed together and
secured with PVC tape to provide a
permanent airtight joint.
