A duct manifold including a first duct, a second duct, and a coupling. The first duct includes a first duct body, a duct extension, and a first duct flange. The duct extension extends from the first duct body. The first duct flange is coupled to the duct extension, and the duct extension extends beyond the first duct flange such that a flange support is defined on an end of the duct extension. The second duct including a second duct body and a second duct flange coupled to the second duct body. The coupling is configured to couple the first duct to the second duct, wherein the second duct flange rests on the flange support when the coupling couples the first duct to the second duct.

System and method for a self-aligning duct

A fluid applicator tool that includes an applicator portion including a pair of arcuate clamping members that each include an inner radial portion and an outer radial portion, an absorbent media extending along the inner radial portion of each arcuate clamping member, and a hinge coupled between the pair of arcuate clamping members. The hinge is operable for rotating the pair of arcuate clamping members relative to each other for positioning between an open position and a closed position. The pair of arcuate clamping members are oriented such that a through hole is defined therebetween when in the closed position.

Fluid applicator tool and method of applying fluid to a tubular member

Method and apparatus for securing a duct to a bracket or hanger using a duct saddle. The duct saddle includes a body that includes a first side and a second opposing side. The body includes a duct seating surface on the a first side. The duct saddle also includes a plurality of retention clips extending from the body. The retention clips include respective tabs extending over the second side of the body and spaced apart from the second side of the body. The tabs include respective retention surfaces facing the second side of the body. The duct saddle also includes retention bodies extending from the respective retention surfaces toward the second side of the body. The above-described duct saddles can be installed on brackets without the use of fasteners, such as bolts and nuts.
