Ducting

Ducting is a conduit system that delivers and removes air throughout a building. It forms the backbone of any HVAC or ventilation setup, where air ducts manage supply air, return air, and exhaust air to maintain comfortable, healthy indoor environments.

Ventilation ducts and air conditioning ducts scale from simple ducts for air conditioner installations to large industrial HVAC systems.

RS Australia stocks a comprehensive range of ducting in Australia, including flexible HVAC ducting, spigot plates, and air diffusion valves. Products come from trusted brands, including Soler&Palau, Vent-Axia, and RS PRO. Browse the full range below.

Key Uses of HVAC Ducting & Air Ducts

HVAC ducting and air ducts deliver essential air management functions across residential, commercial, and industrial environments.

• Direct Building Airflow: HVAC ducts and air conditioning ducts distribute supply, return, and exhaust air for consistent system performance.
• Remove Indoor Contaminants: Ventilation ducts extract pollutants, moisture, and airborne particles to maintain healthy indoor air quality.
• Connect AC Units to Diffuser Grilles: Ducts for air conditioners channel conditioned air evenly from the unit to each room.
• Navigate Tight Spaces: Flexible HVAC tubes bend around obstacles and fit within wall and ceiling cavities with ease.
• Scale to Any Application: Ducting in Australia suits installations from residential kitchen extractors to large industrial HVAC systems.
• Seal Duct Sections Securely: Spigot plates create airtight joins between duct runs, preventing energy-wasting air leakage.

Our Range of HVAC Ducting & Air Conditioning Duct Supplies in Australia

RS Australia stocks over 65 ducting products from leading air conditioning ducting suppliers, including RS PRO, Soler&Palau, and Vent-Axia. The range covers flexible HVAC ducting, ventilation duct options, spigot plates, air diffusion valves, and ducts for air conditioner installations.

Products are available in aluminium, galvanised steel, and reinforced PVC across multiple diameters and lengths. Browse the product types below to find the right ducting for your application.

Flexible Ducting & HVAC Tubes

Flexible HVAC tubes in aluminium and reinforced PVC bend around corners and obstacles, making them ideal for connecting air handlers to ceiling diffusers.

Available from RS PRO and Soler&Palau, these air ducts handle dust, fumes, and abrasive particles in industrial environments, with diameters ranging from 100 to 315mm. Their lightweight construction simplifies installation in tight ceiling and wall cavities.

Air Conditioning Ducts & Ventilation Ducting

Rigid and semi-rigid air conditioning ducts suit heating and ventilation systems across residential and commercial buildings.

Galvanised steel constructions in HVAC air ducts deliver long service life and resistance to temperature extremes. The range includes spigot plates and air diffusion valves for sealed, balanced air distribution. RS PRO stocks these HVAC ducts in multiple sizes for new builds and replacements alike.

Spigot Plates

Spigot plates form airtight connections between ducting sections, preventing air leakage and improving overall HVAC system efficiency.

RS PRO’s galvanised steel spigot plates feature standard flange sizes for broad compatibility across ducting configurations. These connectors also join ducts for air conditioner setups to distribution grilles, linking split-system and ducted AC units to room vents. Air diffusion valves from the same range provide controlled airflow distribution through ceiling and wall vents.

How to Choose the Right HVAC Duct for Your Needs

Selecting the right HVAC duct requires matching product type, material, and size to your specific installation requirements.

• Duct Type: Choose flexible ducting for corners and tight spaces, and rigid air ducts for straight, high-flow HVAC system runs.
• Material: Select aluminium flexible ducting for light-duty use, and galvanised steel for high-temperature or high-velocity air conditioning duct applications.
• Diameter: Match the duct diameter to the outlet specifications of your air conditioner or fan unit.
• Insulation: Consider insulated ventilation duct options for commercial ducting in Australia to improve energy efficiency across the system.
• Compliance: Confirm that your chosen ducting meets local building codes and relevant safety standards for your application.

Common Industry Applications

Ducting and HVAC ducts serve critical air management functions across a broad range of sectors in Australia.

• Residential HVAC: Ducts for air conditioner installations connect split and ducted AC systems to room vents across homes in Australia.
• Commercial and Office Buildings: Ventilation ducting distributes conditioned air across large floor plates, sourced from specialist air conditioning ducting suppliers.
• Industrial Factories: Heavy-duty HVAC ducting manages heat and fume extraction in demanding manufacturing environments.
• Schools and Healthcare: Air conditioning ducts and ventilation systems maintain indoor air quality across education and healthcare facilities.
• Cooking and Extraction: Flexible HVAC tubes connect kitchen rangehoods and cooker extractor fan installations directly to external vents.
