Flexfab

Flexfab composite ducting capabilities have evolved to include Reinforced Foam Panel (RFP) assemblies that meet our customer’s need for robust integrated ducting assemblies with limited tooling.

These products utilize a sandwich construction with a foam core and rigid skins. The result is a duct wall that is both strong and lightweight.

Our manufacturing processes also minimize the need for overly complicated tooling, making RFP ideal for lower volume or highly cost-sensitive applications.

Rigid Composite HVAC Ducting

Rigid composite HVAC ducting for rail vehicles offer advantages over traditional metal ducts by being:

  • Lighter weight
  • Better thermally insulated
  • Sound absorbing
  • Easier to install

Benefits of Rigid Composite HVAC Ducting for Rail Vehicles

  • Minimal tooling costs
  • Optimal for lower volume applications
  • Negative or positive pressure capable
  • Compliant with NFPA 130, EN 45545 R1 HL3 flammability requirements

We’re experienced. We’re trusted. We’re Flexfab.

Flexfab is your source for durable, lightweight HVAC components for rail vehicles and components for diesel and electric powered locomotives. We offer a full line of standard and custom flexible hoses, sleeves and bellows. Our assemblies save installation time while reducing weight and component count by integrating a single component solution.

Wherever you turn today, you’ll find Flexfab products driving the rail industry forward. That’s because rail companies know they can count on Flexfab. Engineering trust. Around the world.™
