ATS H-COLLAR™ JOINING SYSTEM
In a continuing effort to reduce installation time, ATS has invented the H-Collar Joining System. The H-Collar system builds on the ATS Internal Beaded Slip Collar’s™ success in providing a contiguous internal liner and as an alignment tool. But the H-Collar™ takes simplification in joining one step further. There are no external wraps to do! Now it is only necessary to apply the ATS ChemBond putty and slip the duct into the collar. Literally, this joint can be put together
in minutes!
Important Note–Like the ATS Slip Collar™, the ATS H-Collar™ is universal–it accepts any straight butt end. This allows the contractor to modify duct lengths on site without worrying about special preparations of duct ends. Just cut and join!
The H-Collar, pre-fabricated into one end of a section of duct, is called a U-Collar.
By ordering duct with U-Collars, a contractor can install 60 feet of duct by making only two joints (and simple ones at that—without exterior wrap)! Connections are made using the same methods for the H-Collar.
Ordering U-collars on straight duct eliminates the need to do half the work! Ducts can be ordered with a U-collar on both ends of a 20’-0” duct or on one end of a 10’-0” or 20’-0” duct!
