Round Duct Couplings, Connectors and End Caps

Overview

What it is for

Couplings join two pieces of duct or a duct and a fitting. A male coupling slides inside two pipes; a female coupling slides over two fittings. Sliding (adjustable) couplings take up the last few centimetres when a length is cut short.

End caps close off a run or a spare branch, male to fit into a duct or female to fit over a fitting. S-offset connectors shift a run sideways without two separate bends.

These are the small lines on a take-off that are easy to forget and slow a job down when they run out. Add them to the same order as the duct.

Make it yourself or buy it finished? If you run your own round duct, our SBTF-1602 spiral tubeformer and SBEM-1250 elbow machine make spiral pipe and bends in house. Many shops do both: make the high-volume sizes and buy the awkward fittings finished. See also how duct fittings are made.

Frequently asked questions

About couplings and end caps

Male or female coupling?

Male couplings join two pipes; female couplings join two fittings, which already have spigot ends. If your take-off mixes both, list them separately.

How long does production take?

Production time depends on the item mix and quantity and is confirmed at quotation. As a guide, a recent mixed order of about 1,900 bends and dampers was produced in 50 working days.

Do you have a price list?

No. Fittings are quoted per order from your take-off, because the price depends on the diameter, gauge, coating and quantity of each line. Send the list and we quote every line.
