18" x 18" Hinged Duct Panel - Acudor

18" x 18" HD-5070 Hinged Duct Panel - Acudor  

Maintaining an airtight seal in low to medium-pressure air systems is challenging due to seal vs. accessibility, pressure considerations, and competing materials. A perfect seal requires strong gaskets and tight tolerances, making the panel difficult to open or remove for inspections and maintenance. The 18" x 18" HD-5070 Hinged Duct Panel is designed to provide easy access to ductwork in low- to medium-pressure air systems while maintaining an airtight seal. 

The HD-5070 features an airtight seal, an insulated door panel, and a self-tightening latch. The panel is durable 24-gauge galvanized steel with a continuous aluminum piano hinge.  

Optional upgrades include security and convenience features.  

Why Should You Use the 18" x 18" HD-5070? 

• Maintains Airtightness and Efficiency: The insulated door panel and double gasketing system ensure a tight seal, preventing air leaks that reduce efficiency and impact heating or cooling performance in your system.  
• Easy Access for Maintenance and Inspection: The hinged design with a self-tightening latch allows for quick and effortless access to the ductwork whenever maintenance or inspections are required. This saves time and streamlines workflow for your maintenance team.  
• Durable Construction with Options: The standard 24-gauge galvanized steel offers a balance of affordability and strength. You can choose optional materials like aluminum or stainless steel for projects requiring lighter weight or corrosion resistance.  
• Simple Installation: The pre-notched knock-over tabs on the frame facilitate a quick and hassle-free installation process.  
• Customizable for Your Needs: Optional upgrades like cylinder locks, hasps, or L-handles allow you to enhance security or make access even more convenient, depending on the specific application.
