Problems Solved with DM ‘45’ for Industrial
When heavy-duty ductwork requires heavy-duty connections, the Ductmate ‘45’ connector system provides a better solution. Let DM ‘45’ solve your problems.
Heavy-duty Ductwork Connections Made Easy with the DM ‘45’ System
With the Ductmate ’45’ connector system, you can say goodbye to the days of struggling with traditional, labor-intensive methods for connecting heavy-duty industrial ductwork. This superior solution not only saves you time, money, and effort but also ensures exceptional performance, making your operations more efficient and cost-effective.
DM ’45’ is a revolutionary self-sealing rectangular duct connection system. Designed specifically for industrial applications where rigid, leak-free connections are critical, DM ’45’ is ideal for data centers, semiconductor plants, battery plants, wastewater treatment plants, chemical plants, oil rigs, stadiums and arenas, underground rail stations and subways, and much more!
The DM ’45’ System: Engineered for Seamless Duct Assembly
The DM ‘45’ system consists of the following precision-engineered components, offering a seamless assembly process:
- Roll-formed Flanges with Integral Mastic: These flanges ensure a tight seal against the duct wall for a superior, leak-proof connection. The integrated mastic eliminates the need for separate sealant applications, saving time and labor during assembly.
- Corner Pieces: These components reinforce the ductwork structure, holding everything together securely. Additionally, they provide a dedicated sealing surface for the gasket, further optimizing the system’s airtightness.
- Gasket: This essential element forms a vital barrier between the flanges, preventing air leaks and ensuring optimal airflow within the duct system.
- Cleats for Secure and Efficient Assembly:
- Ductmate Versa-Cleat: This versatile cleat design guarantees consistent compression of the gasket along the entire length of the flange. This ensures a uniform and reliable seal throughout the ductwork.
- Ductmate Bolt-On Cleat: This cleat option is specifically designed for larger duct spans and areas that are difficult to access. It provides a secure fastening solution even in challenging installation scenarios.
Why Choose DM ‘45’?
When it comes to performance, the DM ‘45’ system doesn’t disappoint.
The DM ’45’ system goes beyond just leak-free connections. Here’s what sets it apart:
- Unmatched Simplicity: Experience a faster, easier installation process compared to traditional methods. Forget about cutting, welding, painting, and drilling heavy black iron angles. DM ’45’ is a self-sealing, slide-on system that requires minimal assembly effort, relieving you from the burden of complex installation processes. Watch the installation video below to see just how easy it is.
- Cost Savings: DM ‘45’s streamlined installation process translates to significant cost reductions, providing you with financial security and confidence in your investment. Welding expenses are eliminated, and overall labor costs are saved.
- Uncompromising Strength: Don’t be fooled by the ease of use. DM ’45’ is exceedingly strong, tested and proven to match the performance of a SMACNA Class K transverse joint, even without the use of external sealants. This ensures reliable connections for even the most demanding ductwork applications, giving you a sense of security, peace of mind, and confidence in its performance.
- Versatility for Any Project: DM ’45’ is suitable for a wide range of duct gauges (10 – 18 ga) and is available in various materials, including galvanized steel, aluminum, 316 stainless steel, and black iron. This lets you choose the perfect fit for your specific needs.
- Aesthetically Pleasing: Unlike bulky companion angles, DM ’45’ offers a clean and professional look. It enhances the overall aesthetics of your ductwork system and can be specified and used as an architectural feature.
- Guaranteed Performance: Ductmate stands behind the DM ’45’ system with rigorous testing and an industry-leading guarantee. Enjoy free engineering assistance and duct construction information to reduce installation costs further.
Additionally, the DM ‘45’ boasts the following characteristics:
- 4-bolt corner and cleat combination are the safest, most efficient means of connecting large ducts on-site
- Sealing materials meet NFPA 90A & B Class 1 requirements
- Virtually no leakage at up to 12” WG positive pressure or down to 12” WG negative pressure
- Optional cut-to-length flange reduces fabrication time and scrap (additional cost, minimum quantities and size restrictions may apply)
Equal in strength to a SMACNA K Class 2-1/2” x 2-1/2” x 3/16” angle, the DM ‘45’ system has the strength you need to connect the biggest duct imaginable without the labor-intensive fabrication processes of drilling bolt holes, welding frames, or applying rust-proof coatings.
It’s no wonder why the DM ‘45’ has become the clear choice over the labor-intensive companion angle.
