๐Ÿง  How to Select the Right Model

We recommend confirming:
  1. Operating Temperature
  1. Gas Composition (SOโ‚‚, dust, corrosive media)
  1. Pressure condition (positive/negative)
  1. Movement values (axial/lateral/angular)
  1. Duct size & shape
๐Ÿ‘‰ Our engineers will help you select the optimal design.

๐Ÿ›  Installation & Maintenance

  • Do NOT twist or overstretch during installation
  • Avoid welding sparks or sharp edges near fabric
  • Regular inspection for aging or cracks
  • Replace the fabric layer if damaged
