- Description
- A circular female end duct take-off component or end cap for use with larger HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) ducting systems to cap an inlet duct. The end cap has a fixed wire mesh screen across the opening with a grid size of 10 x 10 mm and still acts as an end cap but prevents larger particles or foreign objects from entering branch ducts. Manufactured from EPNF galvanized steel - that is steel coated with a protective layer of zinc to prevent rusting and corrosion. Intended for installation in standard circular duct sizes in residential, commercial, and light industrial HVAC systems where simple mechanical filtration or debris protection is required rather than fine air filtration.
