A flexible, insulated air conveyance system with a 14-inch diameter is commonly employed in manufactured housing for heating and cooling distribution. These ducts facilitate airflow from the HVAC unit to various vents throughout the residence, ensuring consistent temperature regulation. For example, such a duct might connect the furnace to the main supply register in a living room.
The utilization of this type of ductwork offers several advantages in mobile home applications, including adaptability to tight spaces and ease of installation. Its flexibility allows for navigation around structural obstacles, while its insulation minimizes energy loss, contributing to improved energy efficiency and reduced utility costs. Historically, the implementation of insulated, pliable ducts has significantly enhanced the thermal comfort and overall livability of manufactured homes.
