QUALITY MAKES A DIFFERENCE
RELIABILITY
The HardLine Advantage starts with quality base materials and consistent manufacturing practices. ABC ensures superior quality,
performance and reliability by only using the best, most environmentally responsible raw materials.
RIGIFLEX-FR™
Our proprietary RigiFLEX-FR™ semi-rigid polymer base material is industry-leading. RigiFLEX-FR™ is designed and purpose-built for
mine and tunnel ventilation. No laminated layers to fracture, crack, tear or lose bond when subjected to shock and abrasion.
RigiFLEX-FR™ is durable, resilient, resistant to puncture and deformation.
MANUFACTURING
HardLine Ducting is manufactured with precision and assembled using fusion-welding technology for high-strength. Our process ensures
sizes remain accurate and reliable from specification to installation. ABC Ventilation Systems annually audits and certifies its processes
using the ISO 9001 program.

INSTALLATION:
HardLine couplings require no additional tools. The coupling installation process is simple to understand and requires low physical
exertion. The coupling is shared across all HardLine products, accessories and pressure configurations. The system is efficient because
it’s simple, fast and repeatable.
The HardLine 3-Step Coupling:
STEP 1 – ‘NEST-to-fit’, STEP 2 – ‘ZIP-to-lock’, STEP 3 – ‘RATCHET-to-seal’ DONE!

PERFORMANCE
LOW AIRFLOW RESISTANCE
HardLine Performance Ducting offers a low coefficient of friction and efficient coupling system that results in significant air
performance advantages over steel, fiberglass and flexible ventilation products. The comparative chart below outlines the efficiency
gain of HardLine Ducting.

Efficiency (K-Factor)
HIGH EFFICIENCY COUPLINGS
HardLine’s telescoping coupling design nests one tube into another to minimize air-leakage in low and high pressure applications.
LOW LEAKAGE
HardLine’s easy-to-use ratchet coupling reinforces and seals each connecting joint to create a highly efficient coupling system.
SYSTEM PRESSURE
HardLine Ducting is structurally supported and designed to withstand various positive and negative, low and high pressure
applications. Contact our Sales Engineers for design specifications.

SAFETY
FIRE RESISTANT
HardLine Ducting is fire resistant and passes CAN/CSA M427-M91 and MSHA CFR30 standards, as well as other local FR
regulations. Please contact our office for certificates.
COLOR
HardLine Ducting is manufactured using a safety green color for high visibility.
IDENTIFICATION
Products are identified with diameter, length, airflow direction, manufacturing date and work order number.
WEIGHT AND HANDLING
HardLine is 70% lighter than steel and 30% lighter than fiberglass pipe.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
REUSABLE
HardLine Ducting can be reused as required. HardLine Ducting is easily dismantled for relocation or storage.
RECYCLABLE
ABC currently reprocesses its RigiFLEX-FR™ waste material into new HardLine Ducting and Accessories. Our objective is to expand this
program to include HardLine end-users.
REDUCING CARBON EMISSIONS
HardLine Performance Ducting compresses down smaller than steel or fiberglass for transportation and storage. The carbon footprint is
significantly lowered when transporting HardLine compared with other rigid products. The chart below is an example of area required
to ship 42”dia (1070mm) x 80ft (24.4m) of duct.

ENERGY REDUCTION
HardLine Ducting offers energy reduction by increasing airflow. In lowering the coefficient of friction by more than 40% and reducing
air-leakage, through high efficiency couplings, HardLine provides efficiency gains and lowers air resistance to reduce energy costs.
FEWER FANS – MORE AIR
HardLine Ducting requires fewer fans than steel or fiberglass duct to generate and deliver air throughout a mine or tunnel.
FASTER INSTALLATION
HardLine offers a quick-to-install system that requires straightforward skills to deploy.
REUSABILITY
HardLine Ducting can be easily disassembled and reused.
FREIGHT AND LOGISTICS
HardLine Performance Ducting ships compressed or as a flat sheet, allowing product to be shipped at a lower cost and with less
carbon emissions than other ventilation options.
