September 13th Topic----- Flex Duct It is amazing how regions of a small state can become fixed in their methods. For example, central Arkansas and other areas don ’ t use flex and some municipalities even outlaw its use. In the northeast part of the state, flex is the product of choice for many contractors. We ’ re not sure how each region moved toward their present attitudes regarding flex but one thing is sure, there are many examples of its improper use. On Monday, September 13th at noon, Chief Inspector, Tony Woodard, and Tom Hunt will discuss Code related to design and installation of flex duct with special emphasis on Flexible Duct Performance & Installation Standards (5th edition)
