Product Description
The Thermoid SCAT18 Duct Hose is a high-temperature, flexible ducting solution engineered to handle extreme temperature variations in aircraft applications. This 4.5-inch diameter duct hose is constructed from a single ply of silicone-coated fiberglass, reinforced with a durable steel wire helix to maintain shape and flexibility. Designed to perform in conditions ranging from -65°F to +550°F, the SCAT18 duct is ideal for use in aircraft heating and cooling systems, ventilation, and defrosting.
With its reinforced structure, the SCAT18 ducting offers resilience against wear and tear, making it suitable for continuous, reliable performance in challenging aviation environments. The bright red silicone coating provides an additional layer of heat resistance, enhancing the durability of the duct hose even under high-stress conditions.
