Small components in ductwork, like generic ductwork hangers, are often overlooked. However, they provide a secure and reliable way to support and suspend ductwork from ceilings or structural supports. These hangers help prevent sagging and vibration, ensuring that the ductwork remains properly aligned and efficient. They come in various sizes and styles to accommodate different duct diameters and installation requirements.
Ductmate offers a variety of generic hangers that are cost-efficient, easy to use, and require no prep work, making ductwork installation easier, faster, and safer. Learn more about the different hangers that Ductmate has to offer below.
Pre-Punched Trapeze Duct Hanger
The Pre-Punched Trapeze Duct Hanger simplifies ductwork installation. This lightweight, 18-gauge galvanized steel hanger is easy to cut and install, saving you time and effort by replacing hard-to-cut and punch angle iron. It is also low in theft because it is exclusively sold to the HVAC industry.
Engineered for stability and noise reduction, our Isolation Hanger Type SI is a quiet, strong, and simple solution for reducing the transmission of vibration and noise from suspended mechanical equipment such as fans, pumps, air handling units, piping, and ductwork. The sturdy steel bracket designed for a 3/8” threaded rod, coupled with a high-density rubber isolation pad, supports up to 1,100 pounds while effectively preventing vibrations from being transmitted. Installation is a breeze due to its standard wrench-friendly design.
Install your round ductwork quickly and effortlessly with our Round Duct Hanger. This prefabricated hanger features a ¼” x 20 carriage bolt with a zinc-plated wing nut and lock washer for secure, tool-free installation.

Discover why Ductmate is the top choice for sealants when it comes to quality and labor savings.
Duct sealant, also commonly referred to as mastic, is used to seal HVAC metal and metal joints to prevent air leakage from the duct. While it is used to keep air in ductwork, it is also used to ensure that pollutants, such as dust, dirt, and water, stay out.
Ductmate offers four high-performance, superior-quality water-based sealants in both premium and commercial grades. Our premium-grade sealants are PROseal and FIBERseal, while our commercial-grade sealants are EVERseal and EZseal.
Ductmate sealants are low in VOCs, LEED compliant, CDPH compliant, UL-723 classified, and UL 181B-M listed. Testing reports are available upon request (contact Ductmate customer service for more information).
Both Ductmate’s premium and commercial grade sealants can seal ductwork up to 15” w.g.
Ductmate’s premium sealants, PROseal and FIBERseal, are high-velocity duct sealants and use premium polymers in their formulation.
Regardless of what grade you choose, Ductmate sealants are extremely resistant to cracking and will remain permanently flexible. This is especially useful for applying sealant in the shop and then transporting it to other locations or a project site.
Need spray-on sealant? Try our PROseal Spray for shop applications and large projects. With PROseal Spray, you can quickly spray on the sealant instead of applying it with a brush, resulting in significant labor savings. PROseal Spray works easily with a wide variety of equipment (contact Ductmate customer service for more information).
Ductmate’s sealants are superior to the competition. Alongside excellent adhesion to metal, they have a lower brush drag, resulting in better spreadability and allowing for a more even and consistent coating, ensuring an airtight, leak-free seal.
Choosing Ductmate’s sealants over the competition will result in tremendous labor savings in the long run. For over 40 years, Ductmate has been known for its quality reputation and product reliability, and our sealants are no exception.
Yes, Ductmate sealants can be used outdoors. Our water-based sealants have excellent water resistance, making them a perfect choice for outdoor applications such as rooftops and exterior ducts.
Yes, Ductmate sealants can be painted using water-based or epoxy-based paint. The sealant must be fully cured before painting. It is recommended to do a spot test first to ensure acceptable results before continuing.

Renowned for its quality and reliability, Spiralmate is the round connection you can depend on.
Ductmate’s Spiralmate round duct connection system is the industry’s only self-sealing round flanged connector system of its kind that offers unsurpassed speed of installation, airtight integrity, and aesthetics.
Because the Spiralmate connector system is sold as a complete set, it consists of the following uniquely designed components:
Spiralmate offers the following exclusive, cost-saving features:
Spiralmate is superior to generic connection systems when it comes to installed cost, safety, speed of installation, airtight integrity, adjustability, and aesthetics over a generic connection system.
With Spiralmate, the installed cost is lower because the cost includes the two factory-sealed flange rings and one bolt closure band required to make the connection, requiring no sealant or additional labor. In contrast, generic connections have each ring sold separately, plus the additional sealant and labor cost required to seal each connection.
The Spiralmate system is engineered to simplify the connection process with its one-bolt closure band design, which quickly and safely aligns and clamps each joint together for a superior seal and speed of installation. This process eliminates the added cost and labor of applying Tek screws manually at the connection, further enhancing safety and adjustability. Conversely, a generic connection requires multiple Tek screws around the circumference of each joint to complete the connection, decreasing worker safety while increasing installation time and leakage at the connection. Generic connections don’t allow for adjustability at the connection, either.
Lastly, Spiralmate is a clean, seamless connection that can be used as an architectural feature on exposed duct systems, while generic connections require exposed screws and sealant at the connection, ruining aesthetics.
Spiralmate installation is quick and easy. Don’t believe us? Watch our installation video and see for yourself just how easy it is to install Spiralmate.
Spiralmate comes in standard sizes from 8” – 120” in 2” increments. For additional sizes, please consult a Ductmate representative.
Additionally, Spiralmate comes in six different alloys for a wide range of specialty applications, including galvanized metal, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, and more.
For mining or unique applications, our alternative Ventmate is available. Ventmate is a connector clamp with the same high-quality neoprene gasket embedded into the closure band. Consult Ductmate for more information on Ventmate applications.
Press-on inner rings are available for round ducts with 1” or 2” insulation, so no welding or fasteners are needed. Double-sided high-strength PSA tape can be applied for a simple on-site installation.
As always, we’re happy to work with you to deliver the products you need.
