Recommended Uses

1030 Water Based Duct Sealant is recommended for sealing joints, seams, and duct wall penetrations on metal air duct.

1030 Water Based Duct Sealant is recommended for sealing connections on flexible duct or fiberglass duct board.

1030 Water Based Duct Sealant is recommended up to 15 inches water column pressure.

Directions for Use

Uses:

DP 1030 may be used to seal joints on metal, flexible, and fiberglass duct board supply and return air duct.

Surface Preparation:

Surfaces should be clean, dry and free of dirt, oil and any foreign matter.

For sheet metal duct:

DP 1030 should be applied to all connections according to SMACNA standards. Brush, caulk, pump, or trowel DP 1030 on all duct seams. Apply to TDC/TDF and applied flange corners. Apply to all penetrations in the duct wall including sheet metal screw heads and tie rods. When caulking DP 1030, sealant should be brushed into seams.

For round and oval spiral duct:

Apply DP 1030 to the male section of the fitting or to the inside slip duct coupling. Secure with sheet metal screws per manufacturers requirements. Apply a 2-inch band of DP 1030 around outside of joint, covering all screws.

For rigid fiberglass air duct: Assemble sections according to the manufacturers recommendations. Apply a 3-inch by 20 mil band of DP 1030 to the joint. Embed a fiberglass scrim (5 mil, 20 x 10 plain weave, 1.75 oz per sq. yd.) in the sealant and apply another 20 mil coat of DP 1030 over the scrim.

For flexible duct: Install flexible duct per manufacturers instructions using drawbands or mechanical fasteners. Apply DP 1030 at a rate of 40-80 sq. ft. per gallon (20-40 mils) between the end of the duct and the collar in a 2-inch band. Use DP 1030 to seal all connections of collar to metal duct or rigid fiberglass ductboard.

Pressure Testing: Allow at least 48 hours before pressure testing. Since temperature and humidity conditions may vary, longer cure times may be required for specific installations. Do not apply when rain or freezing temperatures will occur within 36 hours. Do not thin.

Clean Up: Use warm water and soap
