Engineering Specifications

DUCT-WORK:
All duct-work shall be of a clamp-together design using a die-formed, rolled edge in
which is then joined together by a single lever clamp of similar material. All clamp
together ducting shall be of continuous laser welded construction along the
longitudinal seam of the rolled form duct with the exception of the 3” which is lock
formed. All connections shall have Nitrile seal in clamp for standard installs and a
Gortex seal for mist or food grade applications.

Duct material sheet blanks are five feet long, which is then rolled and fused
Together with a laser weld process along the longitudinal seam.

The ends of the duct are then pressed in a die to from a rolled bead on each end of
the duct. This rolled-end is used for clamping components together as well as
reinforcement every 5 feet.

Structural Integrity

STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY
The Laser Welded Easy Duct System has been used in many different industrial applications, and under various
negative static pressures.

The typical design range we see in our applications, range from -2” wg to -28 wg, however we have some systems
operating at vacuums of -32” wg to - 42” wg under normal operating parameters. Should these levels of static
pressure be required, we suggest an alternative seal be used in the clamp such as the white Gortex Seal. This increases
the sealing properties on the connection joint.

Please take into account that our pipe comes in 5’ lengths with a rolled lip on each end, thus providing reinforcement
every 5’, which presents a sound structural design that should be stronger than any pipe in its class.

COLLAPSIBILITY STRENGTH OF “EASY DUCT” PIPING

Each size of piping has been tested for strength against collapsing. The piping was exposed to constant positive
pressure and constant vacuum. Each pipe was exposed to a maximum capacity of the test equipment of 80”
WG of vacuum and positive pressure. None of the pipe showed any form of deformation during the test.
Pipe and fittings must be installed in accordance with Easy Duct’s standard specifications and normal good
workmanship practices.

Leakage
All fit together ducting systems allow for some degree of leakage. ‘EASY DUCT” ducting is no exception and is
not sold as an airtight system. In addition to standard Nitrile foam gasket, Easy Duct offers special clamp gasket
material for high heat and enhanced sealing. Further, the applying of sealants to the individual rolled ends can
enhance the tightness of the system. However, the “EASY DUCT” system is sold as a quick way of installing
and modifying duct-work while at the same time retaining the usability of each component. In short, “EASY
DUCT” is meant to be able to be taken apart, re-assembled, stored or moved. Completely eliminating the
possibility for leakage jeopardizes the inherent benefits of the duct.

LEAKAGE CLASS
While Easy Duct is currently unaware of any method of evaluating dust collection piping alone, the following
data is presented using the criteria for all duct, including HVAC. This data is presented only for the purpose of
indicating acceptability of the Easy Duct in dust/fume removal in a negative pressure situations and should not be
confused with the ducting that uses tape or gaskets as sealant in the positive conveyance of air.

LEAKAGE CLASS DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SMACNA

Avg. leakage per 100 ft.
Duct Size SMACNA CLASS
5” SP IO” SP
4” 6” 5 CFM 6 CFM 3

7” 10” 2.5 CFM 3.5 CFM 3

11” 24” 2 CFM 4 CFM 3

LEAKAGE RATE
Standard “EASY DUCT” is designed to provide tight sealing and efficient airflow under negative pressures.
To that end we are providing the following information for piping situations where fan sizing is of extreme
importance. The following data was obtained using standard components and was performed in accordance with
the SMACNA, “ HVAC AIR DUCT LEAKAGE TEST MANUAL”. The information gives the leakage rate per
joint of duct at various pressures. To utilize the chart, count the number of clamps (this equals the number of
pieces) per size and multiply by the number given beside the corresponding diameter and under the applicable
pressure. These numbers assume that the product is correctly installed; free of dents in the joining ends and that
the gasket in place. Special gasket material and sealants will increase the sealing capabilities.

Sizing a System
CFM/FPM Chart
Easy Duct offers assistance to those sales people and customers who have never designed a ducting system
before. We can assist you in determining the correct duct size and configuration that will supply you with the
correct flow.

We have the ability to assist customers in designing a blast-gated system; taking into account flow dynamics
that will be affected by blast gates. While blast gates can be used to effectively utilize an undersized filtering
system, they can also destroy the flow if not properly placed.

USING THE CFM / FPM CHART

Different materials need to be moved at different velocities so as to prevent the material from falling out of the air
stream. For example: wood chips and saw dust flow well at 4500 feet per minute. Referring to the chart, you will
see that a 4” duct will convey 395 CFM at 4500 FPM. This will mean that a 4” pick-up on a machine will take
395 CFM from your filtering system; or working in reverse, if you know that a machine will require
approximately 400 CFM to remove the waste, then you should design a 4” duct for the purpose.

Installing Tap-In or Cut-In

STEP 1:
Temporarily place the in-cut on the main trunk in the required position, and while holding in place,
place hand inside of branch and trace the interior of the branch on trunk line where it needs to be cut out.

STEP 2:
Take down in-cut and drill a starter hole in the main trunk along the line traced from the branch. Then
using metal snips or a reciprocating saw, cut out metal piece that has been traced. File or grind any
sharp edges to insure efficient flow.

STEP 3:
Now use an industrial strength silicone sealant to seal between in-cut base and main trunk.

STEP 4:
Use small sheet metal screws or a banding type clamp material to secure in-cut to the main trunk line.

Labor Guidelines
What to be Aware of When Ordering
RULE OF THUMB LABOR GUIDELINES

A) Long straight runs and trunk-lines

• “EASY DUCT” duct = 6 to 10 man hours per 100’
• Flanged duct = 20 man hours per 100’

B) Machine Connections
• Machine with 1 or 2 ports = 1.5 to 3 man hours per port.
• Machines with 3 or more ports = 4 man hours per port.

A+B = TOTAL MAN HOURS

OR
QUICK METHOD

(TOTAL # OF PORTS) x 3 HOURS EACH = “X”

“X” x 2 = DUCTING SYSTEM TOTAL MAN HOURS

NOTE: The above methods should be used for comparison and budgetary purposes
only!! By no means should they be used to confirm a job installation. It should be the
sales person’s responsibility to analyze each individual job and make his/her own judgement.

THINGS TO BE AWARE OF WHEN ORDERING “EASY DUCT”

1. Order one clamp per “EASY DUCT” component.
• 1 - duct = 1 clamp
• 2 - elbows = 2 clamps

2. Specify dimensional information to speed up process:

• Transitions A,B,D,L,X, Y and flange style
• Branches A x B x C, or A x B x D, or A x B x C x D
• Tap-In or In-cuts A, B
• Reducer All diameters and end style

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TOO MUCH INFORMATION !

3. Look for 60 degree elbows to compliment branch orders. This is typical application
since the two components will create a perpendicular run to the trunk line.

4. Ask for flange styles, hole patterns, ID, OD, when applicable. Typical components
requiring flanges will be parts that connect to filters, fans or other types of equipment.

CFM

The 5” pipe carries 615 CFM at 4500 FPM, (See Chart). The 6” pipe will need 885 CFM at the same velocity (See
Chart). Added together you have a total of (615 + 885) 1500 CFM coming together. Looking again at the chart
under 4500 FPM, you find that 1500 CFM is not listed, but falls very close to the 1570 CFM listed for an 8” pipe.
This indicates that the 5” joined to the 6” will require an 8” pipe to carry all of the material at the right velocity. The
branch, therefore, will be 8” on the downstream end reducing down to a 5” with a 6” branching off of it. That is
listed as a 8-6-5 branch.

Installing an Adjustable Nipple

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE “EASY DUCT” ADJUSTABLE NIPPLE WITH

RUBBER O-RING FOR DRY SYSTEM
Each Easy Duct pipe section is 5 ft. in length. To shorten to accommodate an existing span, an adjustable nipple is used.

STEP 1 STEP 2

Measure distance to be spanned. Mark distance to be spanned less 4”.

STEP 3 STEP 4

Use O-ring provided and mark for cut. Drill access hole then cut with saw

STEP 5 STEP 6

Cut piece of pipe put O-ring on cut Snap clamp over O-ring and one
pipe, slide nipple over end of nipple.

Oil Mist or Wet Application for Pipe

Installation of Dual-Gasketing For Oil Mist or

Wet Applications For Easy Duct Standard Rolled Edge Pipe
Standard Easy Duct parts are well-suited for most dust, smoke and fume collection systems.
However, on oil-mist or other “wet” systems, a dual gasket is recommended to eliminate leakage of
materials condensing inside the pipe. Also industry or government regulations occasionally require
dual-gasketing on certain dry or fume systems.

1 Airflow

INSTALLING THE OIL MIST GASKET

BETWEEN STANDARD ROLLED-EDGE
SECTIONS OF PIPE.

1) Carefully place the gasket along the

rolled edge of the part, being careful to
avoid kinks or voids. Only one gasket
is needed per joint.

2
2) Join the gasketed end of the pipe to a
non-gasketed end of the next part in the
ducting run using a standard Q-F clamp.
The oil-mist gasket, in addition to the gasket
inside the Q-F clamp, provides dual
protection against leakage.

Oil Mist or Wet Application

Installation of Adjustable Nipple

1
Installing a second o-ring in a Easy Duct
adjustable nipple.

1) When a non-standard length of pipe is needed, use a

standard Easy Duct Adjustable Nipple to span the gap.

2
2) Place the small-diameter soft o-ring between the
standard o-ring and the rolled edge of the nipple.
The soft o-ring should be seated evenly against the
rolled edge.

3 3) Position the larger-diameter standard Easy Duct o-ring

above the oil-mist ring.

The order should be as follows:

a) rolled edge or nipple; against
b) soft, small-diameter o-ring; against
c) standard Easy Duct o-ring.

4
4) Clamp a standard EASY DUCT clamp around both
o-rings and the rolled edge. Make sure that both o-rings
fit completely under the clamp.

NOTE: KEEP CUT PIPE IN THE DIRECTION AS

THE AIR FLOW.
