A saddle is a ductwork component used to connect circular sections of duct together. It features a flanged edge to the required parent diameter, which provides a secure and stable connection point onto a flat surface i.e. rectangular ductwork

Description:

Material: Manufactured from galvanized steel

Design: The spigot is a cylindrical piece that is fixed direclty onto spiral ductwork. The spigot is “male” and will slip directly inside spiral ductwork

Uses in Ductwork Systems

• Connecting Duct Sections: Saddles are used to join two sections of spiral ductwork together, ensuring a tight and stable connection.

• Sealing: Once fixed the flange should be sealed with duct sealant to create an airtight seal, improving the efficiency of the ductwork system and preventing air leaks

In summary, a saddle is an essential component in ductwork systems, used for creating secure, stable, and airtight connections between two circualr duct sections
