This page sets out the technical specification of Insulated PVC TT Flat Duct For Under‑floor Fresh Air Ventilation as supplied by GUANDE, together with the selection rules that determine which variant suits a given project. It is written for specifiers, estimators and contractors who need to confirm a size, a material build-up and a connection method without waiting on a quotation.
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Available Sizes / Models | TT‑Series Insulated Flat Duct |
| Description | 120*145*30mm, 2m per piece, 5mm rubber‑plastic insulation layer, internal dividing rib reinforced flat duct, multiple sizes optional |
| Material / Construction | Rigid PVC inner pipe + 5mm rubber‑plastic thermal insulation + aluminum foil outer cladding |
An insulated rigid PVC TT flat duct for under-floor fresh air ventilation. A 5 mm rubber-plastic insulation layer is wrapped around the ribbed PVC core and finished with an aluminium foil outer cladding, so the duct can run through cold floor zones without surface condensation forming under the floor covering.
Noise in a residential ventilation system has two distinct sources: fan-generated noise travelling along the duct, and regenerated noise created by turbulence at bends, transitions and terminals. The first is controlled with attenuation and with flexible connections at the plant. The second is controlled purely by geometry — gentle bends, gradual transitions, generous terminal sizes and avoiding abrupt changes in cross-section. Specifiers who treat noise as a terminal problem usually end up with a system that is quiet at the diffuser but audible in the bedroom above it.
A duct system that leaks 15% of its air is not 15% less effective — it is a system that no longer delivers its design intent and cannot be balanced. Leakage at joints shows up as terminals that cannot reach their design flow no matter how the dampers are set, and as extract points that fail to clear moisture from wet rooms. Because the defect is inside a sealed void, it is usually discovered only when the building is occupied. Push-fit systems with correctly seated seals achieve far better air-tightness than taped joints, and the difference is measurable at commissioning.
The three material families used in ventilation ducting each have a clear best-fit application. HDPE is flexible, chemically inert, tolerant of movement and ideal for long concealed runs where the route is not straight. PVC is rigid, dimensionally stable and well suited to compact flat-duct runs in shallow floor or ceiling build-ups. Galvanised steel is the default for larger commercial systems where mechanical strength and fire performance govern the specification. Specifying across these families on one project is entirely practical provided the transitions are made with proper adapters rather than improvised.
Quality inspection at GUANDE is not a final gate — it runs through the whole process. Incoming raw material is checked against specification before it enters production. In-process checks monitor dimensions and surface finish at defined intervals during the run. Finished Insulated PVC TT Flat Duct For Under‑floor Fresh Air Ventilation are inspected against the approved sample, and a batch record is kept against every shipment so that any issue can be traced back to its production parameters.
Our plant runs scheduled production for Insulated PVC TT Flat Duct For Under‑floor Fresh Air Ventilation with typical lead times of 15 to 25 days for standard items and 25 to 40 days for custom tooling projects. We load mixed containers directly at the factory, which lets us combine several product lines from your ventilation schedule into one shipment and reduce freight cost per unit. Confirmed lead times are stated on the order acknowledgement, not estimated at enquiry.
Use the following rules when converting a project drawing into an order. They reflect how the product performs in ceiling voids, service risers, floor build-ups and wall chases, where the practical limits are usually set by air-tightness, pressure drop and acoustic performance rather than by the headline dimension.
Size the run from the design air flow and the acceptable pressure drop, not from the fan spigot. Undersizing a ducting run is the most common specification error and it cannot be corrected later without re-opening the ceiling.
Where the run passes through an unconditioned space, condensation risk — not mechanical strength — normally decides the specification. In those locations the insulated variant is the correct default and a bare equivalent is a false economy.
Keep one connector family for the whole run. Every change of system introduces an adapter, and every adapter is an additional leak path and pressure loss point.
Works with our uninsulated PVC TT flat duct, insulated flat duct elbow and connector, insulated rectangular duct and floor supply outlet assembly.
GUANDE manufactures Insulated PVC TT Flat Duct For Under‑floor Fresh Air Ventilation at our factory in Dezhou, Shandong, China, and ships direct to HVAC contractors, distributors and project specifiers worldwide. Wholesale, OEM and ODM programmes are welcome. Items are supplied in export cartons with the size and quantity marked on the outer label. For OEM programmes we can apply your own artwork and labelling subject to a minimum order quantity.
The products below are routinely specified alongside the item discussed in this guide. GUANDE manufactures the full range in our own plant for consolidated shipping:
Q: Why insulate an underfloor duct?
A: Supply air can be colder than the surrounding floor structure, which risks surface condensation. The insulation and foil wrap prevent that.
Q: How thick is the insulation?
A: 5 mm rubber-plastic foam, finished with aluminium foil.
Q: How long is each piece?
A: 2 metres per piece, as listed in the specification table.
