Rectangular Taps This is a traditional tap using welded construction The tap is welded to the spiral pipe Any size required is available The standard tap is made as outside dimensions with a 1 inch turn in as standard A raw end, flanged turn out, or in, may be specified Available loose for field installation by others Available with a factory installed insulation liner for double wall installations The fitting body L dimension is the length (parallel to the longitudinal axis of the spiral pipe) of the hole cut into the spiral pipe (rounded up to the next whole number) plus 10 inches Air Device Fitting Bodies Lindab Air Device Fitting Bodies include a selection of factory cut and installed: rectangular taps, registers (RGS-3), and drum louvers (DRLAA) in either single wall or double wall configurations. In Safe configurations the fitting body has self sealing gaskets installed on both ends. Smooth rolled outer diameter shell is provided as standard (similar to other fittings); however, a spiral pipe fitting body is also available (ADD an SR ahead of the current fitting s product code if you require spiral pipe in lieu of a fitting body appearance a 10% premium applies). For single wall air device fitting bodies, the fittings TRB (rectangular tap fitting body), RGS, or DRLAA are priced separately and shipped separate from the pipe due to potential shipping damage considerations. Lindab Rep Handbook_rev 10_2011.doc Page 13 of 38

14 For double wall air device fitting bodies, the fittings TRB, RGS, or DRLAA are included in the price and shipped mounted to the pipe. A solid inner liner is provided as standard. TRBs, as standard, are not insulated or lined. The Lindab way: 1. Field cut and install single wall fittings ( TRB, RGS, DRLAA); and 2. Use factory provided air device fitting bodies for double wall. In order to standardize all air device fitting bodies, the total length of the fitting body length will be L = A+10 (regardless of the pipe diameter) where A is the actual length of the duct opening. A L = A + 10 Silencers Lindab manufactures a complete line of straight and elbow silencers: 1. 3 inch to 50 inch in diameter 2. Lengths to 96 inches 3. 4 to 6 inches of absorption filler material 4. Acoustically rated to ASTM specification E Flanges Flanges, when requested, are supplied with AccuFlange as manufactured by AccuDuct. Flanges are available on: single wall, double wall, single wall flat oval, and double wall flat oval. Other types and styles of flanges are available on an as needed basis. For competitive market purposes, our premium offering in single wall or double wall, is a gasketed product (Safe) without the use of flanges. It is important, when comparing competitive proposals, to ascertain whether the flanges are supplied loose or installed. Lindab Rep Handbook_rev 10_2011.doc Page 14 of 38

15 Pressure Rating All spiral pipe and fittings are designed to the latest published SMACNA s HVAC Duct Construction Standards for + 10 inch water gauge. Systems designed for negative 30 iwg to positive 50 iwg is available. Please consult the Lindab catalog, SMACNA HVAC Duct Construction Standards, SMACNA Industrial Duct Systems, or contact Lindab sales support for assistance. Materials of Construction 1. Galvanize G60 (Standard) 2. Galvanize G90 (premium applies) L stainless steel** #2 Finish (premium applies) L stainless steel** #2 Finish (premium applies) 5. Aluminum** 3003-H14 (premium applies not available in SAFE) 6. Coated ductwork (premium applies)* 7. AgION anti-microbial coating (premium applies) * Due to shipping and handling, it is expected that scratches in the coating will occur. ** Pressed fittings are not available and must be fabricated. Are Lindab Products Paintable? YES! - Refer to the white paper Are Lindab Products Paintable? that specifies the use of paint formulated for galvanized metal and to follow the manufacturers recommendation. Paint Grip is galvanized sheet or coil which has been chemically treated with a phosphate film and does not require any weathering to provide a suitable paint substrate without the use of a primer. Galvanealed sheet metal has a uniform matte finish instead of the bright spangle finish associated with galvanized steel and can also be supplied with a paint grip coating. Manufacturing spiral ductwork using paint grip requires more lubrication which attracts dirt and dust which must be removed prior to painting. Lindab has been making galvanized ductwork for over forty years, much of it painted. Lindab Rep Handbook_rev 10_2011.doc Page 15 of 38

16 Coated Ductwork Powder coating uses 100% dry resin that is electro statically applied to the surface and then baked in an oven to fuse the coating. Our standard coated system uses Tiger Drylac product and is comprised of a Series 69 zinc epoxy primer and a Series 49 polyester/tgic glossy white top coat. A total finished film thickness of 4 mils (0.004 inches) inside and out is standard. Other coatings are available upon request. Lindab stocks six colors to help give your customers variety. Jet Black (RAL# 9005) Carmine Red (RAL# 3002) Moss Green (RAL# 6005) Traffic Grey (RAL# 7042) Pure Orange (RAL# 2004) Signal Blue (RAL# 5005) Coating is available in duct diameters It can be ordered nongasketed or as part of the LindabSafe system. The powder coating is applied to the base metal after fabrication, however, the resulting ductwork is not free of scratches and other small areas of exposed metal. Installation Requirements Installation is to be in accordance with the latest published procedures of: 1. Lindab (refer to the Lindab Submittal for details); and 2. SMACNA s HVAC Duct Construction Standards Metal and Flexible. Refer to SMACNA s requirements for the minimum hanger size and spacing for round duct. Lindab Rep Handbook_rev 10_2011.doc Page 16 of 38

17 Union Label Lindab, Inc. is signatory to the National Agreement for Manufacturing of Round and Oval Spiral Systems. Under the terms of this agreement, Lindab manufactures round spiral duct and fittings throughout its various manufacturing facilities in the United States at building trades wage rates. Because Lindab s products meet the standards for the SMWIA (Sheet Metal Worker s International Association) yellow label, the yellow label may be placed on its products. Lindab is represented by SMWIA Local 100 at their Portsmouth, Virginia manufacturing facility. Certain items may not physically have a label attached; however, this is because that particular item does not have a large enough flat surface to place the label.

The inner diameters of materials other than G60 are of solid construction. Perforated inner diameters are available in G60. Other Important Facts 1. Quoted manufacturing time does not include motor freight transit time. 2. Published lead times are subject to change. 3. Lead times are based on working days. Lego Style Approach Offering standard products manufactured to very tight tolerances and when assembled properly, will offer a tightly sealed system without the field application of external sealants by utilizing: 1. Full bodied fittings in lieu of field installed take offs 2. Register and rectangular tap bodies sections 3. Registers and drum louvers that do not require register taps 4. Lindab supplied dampers 5. Lindab supplied silencers And therefore avoiding - 1. Field sealing to comply with air leakage requirements 2. Field installed flanges 3. Field installed rectangular taps 4. Field air leakage testing Lindab Rep Handbook_rev 10_2011.doc Page 18 of 38

19 This approach may require more fittings; however, this approach reduces the total system cost when considering the contractor s field labor and materials for duct sealing. Spangle The hot dip galvanizing process results in a zinc coating with a crystalline structure that is clearly visible on the surface of the coating. The coated surface consists of large, multi-faceted grains; thus, the finish is termed spangled. Depending on the material supplier and the manufacturing practices of a particular fabrication facility, the degree of spangle can and will vary. Lindab will not provide galvanized material for a project that requires a uniform visual appearance due to variations in spangle or coloration of the metal. Lindab is NOT Air Tight Lindab Safe product is warranted to meet Class 3 air leakage criteria. This does not mean the ductwork system is air tight ; however, the ductwork system air leakage rate does not exceed a prescribed maximum flow rate. The maximum allowable air leakage rate, according to SMACNA, is related to the system operating internal static pressure and Duct Class Sealing Classification. In addition, nongasketed (Vent) spiral pipe and fittings, whether round or flat oval, are not warranted for a specified air leakage and requires external sealing. Lindab does not represent our spiral pipe or fittings for airborne noise that may be generated by air leakage; except as specified in our written warranty for gasketed, Lindab Safe product. Lindab Rep Handbook_rev 10_2011.doc Page 19 of 38

20 Warranty Lindab ductwork is manufactured in accordance with the latest SMACNA standards for +10 inch water gauge and warrants its material and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of shipment for defects other than shipping damage. Warranties do not cover the effects of normal wear and tear, abuse, abrasion, erosion, corrosion, extreme temperature, and improper storage or installation. There are no other warranties, express or implied, including the implied warranty of merchantability, which extend beyond this warranty. Performance guarantees, if offered, are only as explicitly stated otherwise. Individual Part Labeling Each individual part has 2 printed labels: a unique Lindab part number with barcode and the yellow union label. When ordering material for exposed applications, please specify such on your purchase order so that the labeling will be placed on the interior of the pipe and fittings. Items that may be pulled from stock (all single wall galvanize 24 inches and under) to fill your order may contain labels on the exterior of the pipe and fittings that will have to be removed in the field. To remove labels on the exterior of the ductwork, using a torch, apply a small amount of heat to soften up the label and peel off. If individual piece numbering is required, Lindab would defer to an annotated shop drawing showing individual Lindab item numbers.

27 Freight Rates A large component of the delivered cost of our product is freight. In order to better control freight costs, Lindab has negotiated freight rates for full truckloads, partial truckloads, and LTL (Less Than full truck Load) with several major carriers. Lindab Reps can accurately determine the freight costs associated with a specific material list through Quote Express. Quote Express pulls information directly from the bill of material. All you need to add is the destination zip code. For detailed instructions, please refer to Marketing Memo dated September You can also obtain a firm LTL rate quote, by or fax, contact the shipping department (refer to the Contact List). Please include the following information: A copy of the bill of material (preferably from Quote Express) Rep s firm name Contact person Return and/or fax number City, state, and zip code of the final destination By return or fax, you will be notified as to how many full or partial truckloads your bill of material will utilize and the cost charged for that freight. It is imperative you retain this freight quote and submit it with your order to insure you are charged the correct amount. For planning purposes only, you may estimate approximately $10,000 standard net per full truckload. This is in no way a guarantee of the number of truckloads required but a very loose rule of thumb. Lindab offers a standardized truckload rate for full truckload shipments. To qualify for this special freight rate the load must occupy at least 75% of a 53 long truck or have a standard net value of at least $10,000. Partial loads are shipped at LTL (Less Than full truck Load) rates which may be higher than the Lindab s standardized truckload rate. Contact the shipping department to inquire about your standardized truckload rate. We strongly encourage you to add stock items to fill the truck and take advantage of this special truckload rate. This is a cost savings feature even if you have to pay quick ship premiums and multiple stop charges. In addition, Lindab reserves the right to ship full truckload quantities of standard manufactured material from various locations; however, you will only be charged your standardized full truckload rate.

28 LTL Shipments The below letter will be sent when orders will be shipped via LTL common carrier to request pipe to be cut into five (5) foot length and supplied with couplings. The cost of the pipe cut charges and couplings will be added to the invoice. LTL Shipment Release We have reviewed the above listed purchase order and determined this to be an LTL shipment from this facility. These particular types of shipments with pipe over 5 feet in length have a high damage rate due in part to the transferring of material from one truck to another before reaching the final destination. If you choose for this order to ship via LTL, Lindab cannot be held responsible for damages or delays associated with damaged product. We suggest taking one of the following actions: Cut the pipe in 5 sections and add couplings Ship with existing sales order/purchase order Hold for upcoming orders Approval to ship via LTL Currently this order has been placed on HOLD pending instructions for shipment or a signed release. Please provide shipping instructions so that we may process your order in a timely manner. Please indicate which you would prefer and fax to Please contact customer service at if you have any questions. Lindab Rep Handbook_rev 10_2011.doc Page 28 of 38
