Ducts refer to passages utilised in ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) and heating for
delivering and removing air. During building house, managing and installing appropriate
ventilation system is one of the important considerations. Ventilation system depends
on airflow requirements per cubic foot per minute and velocity in a room. Duct fitters
analyse the requirements of the customers and then measure the size and space to be
used. They use minimal space to reconstruct and modify the ventilation, heating and air
conditioning altogether in buildings. Duct fitter is associated with multiple responsibilities
such as fabricate, assemble, repair, install sheet metal equipment and products like
ducts, drainpipes, and others. They use a range of devices and tools including 30
degree elbow, duct clamps, moisture drain, fitting, flex connections, wye branches, pipe
hanger, duct end caps and others.

instance, rectangular ducts and fittings are made from ammonium or stainless steel and
it is designed for mostly low and medium –pressure indoor HVAC system. In context of
duct fitting, fitters have to take into consideration multiple vital factors including
dimension, tightness, marking, design, and others. Mostly two
types of duct designs; class s design and class n design are used in current days.
Apart from this, during selection of metal sheet thickness and dimensional tolerance,
multiple criteria are measured and followed by duct fitters. Duct fitters measure
dimension of longest side of fitting’s connection cross section and length of a straight
duct’s long side. In recent days, this industry is generating high amount of profitability
and they are extending their business excellence to improve customer satisfaction level
and to attract more numbers of potential customers. Due to great scope and
development opportunities in this industry, eligible individuals are showing interest in
