Frame Styles

SR2400 Design applications where the ductwork flanges are present and a complete frame assembly is preferred. This style works well for high temperature applications.

  Complete drop-in assembly
  Prefabricated standard frames reduce cost
  Belting hardware accessible from outside
  Best choice when adjacent structures or equipment cannot permit liner protrusion beyond attachment flange
  Accepts shop welded flow liner
  Readily accepts eared pillow design
  Used to fill large breech openings
  Accommodates large lateral movements
  Provides proper setback for belt protection
 
SR2500 Complete drop-in assembly design which works well with low to moderate temperature applications with low levels of particulate accumulation.
  Economic frame using standard angle sizes
  Accessibility to bolting hardware
  Accepts shop welded flow liner
  Designed for internal (SR2550) or external belt replacement (SR2500)
  Used frequently with fan applications
  Studs or tack welded nuts are optional on belt flange
   
SR2600 Similar to the SR2500 style and is used where additional standoff is necessary or preferred. This design works well in low to moderate temperature applications with low levels of particulate accumulation.
  Economic frame using standard angle sizes
  Fabric wrap design used to retrofit over existing metal expansion joints (possible on-line installation)
  Complete assembly drop-in design
  Designed for internal (SR2650) or external belt replacement (SR2500)
  Used frequently with fan applications
  Accepts shop welded flow liner
  Studs or tack welded nuts are optional on belt flange
   
SR2700 Used for low-to-high temperature applications with a cavity pillow, where high levels of particulate are present.
  Accommodates both flanged and non-flanged ductwork
  “Z” style with integral telescoping flow liners
  Reduces particulate accumulation in frame cavity
  Provides protection for belts and pillows
  Complete accessibility to bolting hardware
  Accepts eared pillow design
  Accommodates large lateral movements
  Tack welded nuts are optional
  Provides proper setback for belt protection
   
SR2750 Similar to SR2700 with the exception of a single integral flow liner. This design works well with lower particulate levels or vertical duct applications.
  Accommodates both flanged and non-flanged ductwork
  “Z” style integral upstream flow liner
  Provides protection for belts and pillows
  Complete accessibility to bolting hardware
  Accommodates large lateral movements
  Tack welded nuts are optional
  Provides proper setback for belt protection
   
SR2800 This style frame is well suited for installation with field assembly over existing expansion joints, and is utilized for all temperature ratings.
  Economic frame utilizing standard prefabricated angle iron
  Either welded or bolted frame can be utilized
  Fabric wrap design can be used to retrofit over existing metal expansion joints (possible on-line installation)
  Accepts eared pillow design
  Facilitates field assembly and fit-up
  Tack welded nuts are optional
  Provides proper setback for belt protection
   
SR2900 Best utilized where flanges are not present and field assembly is required or preferred.
  Fabric wrap design used over existing metal expansion joints (possible on-line installation)
  Provides additional stiffener reinforcement to existing ductwork
  Utilizes standard structural steel channels for economical design
  Flanges act as duct stiffeners
   
U1000 The standard integrally flanged U-belt design is used for low to moderate temperatures applications where duct flanges are present and particulate loading is minimal
  Lowest initial cost due to reduced metal frame and fasteners cost
  Molded corners provided for rectangular ductwork
  Accommodates flanged ducting or equipment and utilized frequently for fan applications
  Minimal shipping costs
  Standard 3” (75mm) high flange design
   
SLEEVES Sleeves are primarily used for vibration in H.V.A.C. applications with minimal pressures.
  Least expensive design
  Supplied endless or open ended for field-wrap of pipe penetration applications
  Supplied with worm gear band clamps
  For vibration applications
  Provided with gaskets for Teflon® belt material
