Quick-Fit® Sleeve 18ga

Quick-Fit® Sleeve 18ga

The Nordfab Quick-Fit® Sleeve, formerly known as the Adjustable Nipple, is used to quickly provide variable length adjustments in ducting lines of QF Pipe, typically when the length to be spanned is less than a standard 5’ Pipe. QF Sleeve seams are laser welded, preventing leakage, providing a more efficient dust collection system.

Black nitrile O-ring is included. Specify Red silicone O-ring if needed (additional cost) for higher temperature applications.

Quick-Fit ducting components are adaptable to your existing ductwork and Quick-Fit has been used in a wide variety of applications, wherever dust collection or fine particulate transfer is required.

  • Available in galvanized steel (as shown below)
  • Available in diameters to 24"
  • Also available in standard gauges 22 and 20, 16 gauge assembly, or 14 gauge assembly

Contact Nordfab or your local Nordfab dealer for assistance with material / gauge options.
