<p>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.</p>
<p>These elbows are made by bending and pleating a piece of duct. The NON-Welded style starts with an un-joined piece of duct and as the pleating takes place, the overlapping edges are pressed together on the inside of the elbow. The welded elbow starts with a piece of duct that has been continuously welded down the seam. The duct is formed the same way but the weld is on the outside radius.</p>
<p>Application: The welded elbow provides good all around usage. It is uni-directional. 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.</p>
