Ductwork Reducer / Taper
Ease of Installation
This ductwork reducer is crafted from 24-gauge light galvanised steel, offering a durable and reliable way to connect ducts of differing diameters. Its pressed steel construction ensures a precise fit and long-lasting performance, making it ideal for both spiral and flexible duct systems.
- Large End: Sizes range from 100 mm to 300 mm
- Small End: Sizes range from 80 mm to 280 mm
Both ends feature a male (SE) connection, allowing the reducer to slide directly into spiral ducting. When connecting to other male-ended components, a female coupler is required to complete the assembly.
Engineered for smooth airflow and efficient system performance, this reducer creates seamless transitions between ducts of different sizes. Its robust galvanised steel design provides excellent corrosion resistance and ensures the component maintains its integrity over time.
Perfect for HVAC installations, this ductwork taper combines strength, precision, and ease of use, making it a dependable solution for linking various duct sizes while maintaining optimal airflow throughout the system.
