AH116-2 Hanging and Supporting Flexible Duct
Flexible duct shall be supported at manufacturers’ recommended intervals but at no greater distance than 5 feet (1.52m) on centers. Maximum permissible sag is 1 /2” per foot (42mm per meter) of spacing between supports. See Fig. 6-9A.
Connections to rectangular fibrous glass duct shall be considered a support point. Long horizontal duct runs with sharp bends shall have additional supports before and after the bend approximately one duct diameter from the centerline of the bend. Hanger or saddle material in contact with the flexible duct shall be of sufficient width to prevent any restriction of the internal diameter of the duct when the weight of the supported section rests on the hanger or saddle material. In no case will the material contacting the flexible duct be less than 11 /2” (38mm) wide. See Fig. 6-9B.
Support flexible duct between a connection to rectangular ductwork and a bend by allowing the flexible duct to extend straight for a short distance before making the bend. This will avoid possible damage to the flexible duct by the edge of the sheet metal collar. See Fig. 6-9C. Vertically installed flexible duct shall be stabilized by support straps located 6 feet (1.83m) on centers. See Fig. 6-9D. NOTE: Fibrous glass ducts, including flexible duct, may not be used for vertical risers in air duct systems serving more than two stories.
