Top Hat Spigot

This type of spigot typically has a circular flange or a base that resembles a top hat in shape, hence the name. The "brim" of the hat is mounted to a surface like an air distribution box, plenum, or ventilation unit, while the "crown" of the hat extends outward and serves as a point where flexible ducts or spiral ducting can be connected. A standard flat bar flange will fit over a top hat spigot to allow a more secure connection to a flat surface.

The purpose of a ducting top hat spigot is to ensure a secure & efficient connection between the ductwork and HVAC equipment. Its design allows for a tight seal, which is crucial for maintaining the efficiency of the ducting system by preventing air leaks. This design also makes it easier to attach and detach ducts when needed for installation, maintenance, or replacement.

Ducting spigot solutions for every project

A top hat ducting spigot serves as a crucial component in HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems, primarily functioning as a connector for ductwork. Its main purposes include:

Connection Point for Ducts: It provides a secure and stable point where ducts can be connected to different parts of the HVAC system, such as air handling units, ventilation fans, or distribution boxes. Ducting spigots can fit all ducting sizes. Our standard sizes range from 80mm to 710mm in diameter but other sizes can be made to order.

Airflow Management: A ducting spigot helps in managing airflow within the system. By connecting different parts of the ductwork, it ensures efficient distribution of air, whether it's for heating, cooling, or ventilation purposes.

Sealing and Efficiency: The design of a ducting spigot typically allows for a tight seal where it connects to the ducts. This is important for minimising air leaks, which can significantly affect the efficiency and effectiveness of the HVAC system.

Ease of Installation and Maintenance: Ducting spigots are designed to facilitate easy installation and maintenance. They allow for ducts to be connected and disconnected as needed, which is particularly useful during system installation, repairs, or upgrades.

Versatility and Compatibility: They come in various sizes and designs to accommodate different types of ductwork and HVAC systems, making them versatile components in a wide range of residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
