a) Fixed directly to duct skin with sealed fixings (flat face only of either rectangular or flat oval)
b) To support the underside of a flat bar clip in halves (circular or flat oval)
c) To support the underside of either the stiffening frame of the flanged joint of any duct
section
d) To support either a stiffening frame or a flanged joint below using drop rods/studding
