Twiga Class ‘O’ rated flexible duct, designed for HVAC systems is fire rated, strong, light weight, fully flexible, compressible yet dimensionally stable. Inner core made of aluminium/met foil is permanently bonded to a coated tough wire helix.
Thermal efficiency is achieved by wrapping with a blanket of glasswool insulation in various densities and thicknesses as per the required thermal resistance on the exterior of the inner core. Outer jacket, which acts as a vapor barrier, is tear and puncture resistant and is made of aluminium/met foil with glass yarn reinforcement.

Application and Benefits
- Ideal for all air-conditioning and ventilating systems in hospitals, hotels, industrial, residential, commercial and office buildings.
- Available as both - with and without insulation.
- Due to high degree of flexibility, it allows ducting around obstacles where prefabricated metal ducts would be difficult and costly to install.
- A quick and economical means of correcting misalignment between system.
