Clamp Together Ducting is applicable in virtually any dust collection system from wood to paper to chemical. It is also used in fume and oil mist collection. Even abrasive applications can be accommodated. The standard K&B Clamp Together/Quick Clamp Duct branches and fittings are fabricated from 18-gauge material as a standard and can be fabricated in up to 10-gauge. Likewise, elbows and duct can also be fabricated in 10-gauge for use in such applications as sand, coal or other abrasive applications.
Available in galvanized or stainless steel. Starting at size 7˝, the gores (segments) are cut and then formed so that the ends of the gores are locked together. The number of gores varies with the size and angle of the elbow. While radii of 1.5 and 2.5 are shown, they can be made in ANY angle desired. The K&B rolled lip collar is applied as normal.
Application: Good as an all around elbow, providing smooth interior and heavy-duty construction. In the event that heavy gauges are needed (greater than 18 ga), the gores are butt welded. The interior can be used for paper trim and ber applications. The rolled lip collar adds about 2.5” tangent to the length of the elbow. However, please remember that the collar is sized to receive a cut piece of pipe. This provides infinite adjustability.
