SkeleCore FTS (Fabric Tensioning System)

SkeleCore FTS (Fabric Tensioning System)

Description

ductsox logoSkeleCore FTS (Fabric Tensioning System) is a Fabric Duct Tensioning System that stands alone as the only textile ducting/diffuser system that provides cylindrical tensioning to keep the fabric round and taut at all times.

SkeleCore FTS maintains the same appearance with or without any air pressure in the duct.

skelecore duct tensioning systemSkeleCore FTS is ideal when higher aesthetic value is desired, when cycling is frequent, or when systems are designed with variable air volume. SkeleCore FTS eliminates disruptive tendencies such as motion and noise upon AHU start-up, especially in hard start applications. SkeleCore FTS features a unique metal-to-metal Direct Hang Cable method which is the SAFEST suspension in textile ducting. Fabric longevity is extended by minimizing system movement at fabric seams, attachment points, and fittings.

SkeleCore Pull-Tight

SkeleCore Pull-Tight is a Fabric Retention and Suspension System that utilizes a combination of Internal Hoops and Tensioning Baskets to help maintain fabric shape and retention. Different from FTS, Pull-Tight is suspended from either a Tension Cable or Track Suspension System and is tensioned “externally” utilizing a Tension Cable (or Track) Lock. Pull-Tight improves start-up performance and aesthetics when compared to multiple row, horizontal suspension systems. Some SkeleCore products have up to a 20 year warranty.

SkeleCore FTS Jumbo Series

The SkeleCore FTS Jumbo Series is a larger-scale version of the patented FTS suspension/retention system. With sizes available from 50” to 84” (1,270mm to 2,134mm), Jumbo FTS is ideal for applications with high bay areas where airflow must be distributed to an extremely large area.

Similar to the standard SkeleCore FTS products, Jumbo FTS is the only fabric duct/diffuser system that provides “internal” cylindrical tensioning to keep the fabric round and taut at all times. It maintains the same appearance with or without any air pressure in the duct and improves aesthetics by eliminating fabric sag and wrinkling. Jumbo FTS is ideal when higher aesthetic value is desired, when cycling is frequent, or when systems are designed with variable air volume (VAV). It eliminates disruptive tendencies such as motion and noise upon AHU start-up, especially in hard start applications. Jumbo FTS is suspended with metal-to-metal Direct Hang Cable which is the SAFEST suspension in textile ducting. Fabric longevity is extended by minimizing system movement.
