Types of Ducts
The below list of fittings illustrates the tool icon along with the <schema name> <item name> used in above key in syntax, and the description of the fitting.
| RectangularDuct Default | Rectangular Duct — The primary component in ventilation and air handling systems to transport conditioned air through straight ducts. Rectangular ducts occupy less space and are ideal laying above the ceiling or in a wall cavity. |
| RoundDuct Default | Round Duct — Designed to tolerate a faster air flow with less friction, round ducts are economical as they absorbs sound naturally and require less material to transfer the same amount of air. |
| FlexDuct "Flexible Duct" | Flex Duct — Flexible ducts are convenient for attaching supply air outlets to the rigid ductwork. Short runs minimizes pressure loss. |
| FlatOvalDuct Default | Flat Oval Duct — Flat oval duct
has been designed for restricted space conditions that cannot accept round
spiral duct.
Ideal as stacks, especially in homes, allows air to travel vertically within relatively thin walls. |
