EZ-R Phenolic Lined Duct

Phenolic Lined Ductwork for Indoor or Outdoor Use

Sheet Metal Connectors now offers EZ-R phenolic lined metal ductwork, which is easier to install and simpler to handle than traditional 3” doublewall insulated sheet metal. This HVAC lined duct comes pre-insulated, fully assembled, and ready to install in your indoor and outdoor applications. EZ-R Duct has high thermal resistance values and closed-cell insulation. EZ-R duct is available in R-8, R-12, R-16, and R-20 to meet your specification.

Phenolic Duct Insulation That’s Convenient, Efficient, and Won’t Break Your Job Budget

EZ-R Duct weighs significantly less than doublewall insulated sheet metal and achieves a higher R-Value in less space. R-12 phenolic panels are only 1.75” thick compared to 3” for R-12 fiberglass liner. With its high R values, virtually no air leakage, lightweight convenience, and shorter installation time, EZ-R is a good choice for a range of indoor and outdoor air distribution applications, especially budget-minded rooftop ductwork. EZ-R Duct is suitable for new and retrofit commercial, light industrial and institutional projects.

EZ-R reduces air-leakage rates to a fraction of standard rectangular sheet metal ductwork and is significant in three key areas: cutting costs, slashing energy use and trimming operational carbon dioxide emissions.

SMC has applied its 50+ years of fabrication experience to the phenolic duct market. With our new processes and equipment, we can fabricate high-quality EZ-R phenolic lined duct and custom fittings at an extremely reasonable cost compared to other systems.
