Shurtape Technologies, LLC, a leading manufacturer and marketer of pressure-sensitive tapes, has expanded its HVAC product portfolio with new Shurtape® brand AF 099 UL 181A-P/B-FX Listed/Printed Aluminum Foil Tape.

In my opinion, the ‘80s saw the most significant development in HVAC duct fabrication of any during the past half-century. Here's why.

Shurtape can be used for furnace installation/replacement, sheet metal ventilation fan exhaust ductwork, and dryer vent or bath fan installation jobs.

The new AIRFLOW-IQ by Ruskin combines the features of the brand’s TDP05K airflow and temperature measuring probes with its CD50 control damper and the VAFB24-BAC RAMS Air Measurement BACnet actuator.

Thirty years after its first successful duct hardware invention and Rossi HVAC Hardware is still creating new things. No surprise, considering founder Vic Petrossian wants Rossi to be known for “constant innovation to make the ultimate duct hardware.” 

An HVAC contractor’s focus is often on sealing the duct system. But would you say sealing the building envelop is just as important? Why? 

Ruskin has introduced the BTR-250 heavy-duty isolation damper, designed to provide bubble-tight airflow leakage performance in systems with up to 10 in. wg pressure. 

Many types of buildings could benefit from duct sealing, according to a study from a Minneapolis-based environmental organization. 

Air Movement and Control Association International recently brought almost 100 attendees to the Hyatt Regency Riverwalk Hotel in San Antonio for its inaugural Air System Engineering and Technology Conference.

When Air Management Industries was hired to seal ductwork on a government-owned building in downtown Los Angeles, officials knew standard brush-on sealant wasn’t going to cut it.
