Product Information
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE. All Hart & Cooley
flexible duct products are performance-tested in accordance
with industry standards to ensure reliability and years of
service. Our core is tested (in accordance with ADC FD
72-R1) for actual installation static pressure/ temperature
performance and meets the ratings specified in our catalog.
Our polyester cores are also tested for microbial resistance
by GEI per ASTM D6329-98. The vapor barriers are tested
for permeation in accordance with ASTM test methods.
Call-backs are expensive and eat away at your profits, so
use flexible duct you know has been performance-tested.
INDUSTRY INVOLVEMENT.
Hart & Cooley is committed to the
flexible duct industry and supports it
through involvement in many industry-
related associations, committees, and
organizations. Participation in ADC and
ULs industry advisory council for UL
181 allows Hart & Cooley to stay at the forefront of industry
