Replacement Nordfab Seal Material


 

All,
? ?I've noticed as I've been reconfiguring my Nordfab duct work that some of the seals on the QF clamps are pretty thin.? Has anybody found a replacement seal for the QF clamps?
Thanks,
Dave

I have yet to try this.
A while back ago I bought a Fat Tire bicycle tube. Barely inflated its about 3" diameter.
So it stretches. My thinking was to cut a strip maybe 1-1/2"w and place under clamp.
It should fit the 5&6" diameters. There's also other sizes you can try.



Shouldnt this work or is it a corny idea?
It's thin enough for the clamp to tighten. Doublke up if needed.
Help seal the rubber grommet. No?
If it does work, then you have enough to seal a bunch of seams.


 

I've just reconfigured my Nordfab duct to accommodate 3 new Felder machines.? I also notice that the seals are thin, but so far I have not detected any leak.? Isn't the seal thin because of the compression?? When you put it back, the ducts snap into the existing grooves on the seal.? Are your seal breaking down and brittle?? I am curious because if they are, I will be planning for replacement in the future.

The seal strip is pretty thin on some of my clamps and it seems like the prospect of the seal matching up exactly with a new tube which isn't exactly? round and without any compressiblity left and sealing properly seems unlikely.? Maybe I'm making it more of an issue than it really is?

Did you try the bike though? They are great fun, and one of the things that make me love Minnesota winters. I highly recommend?giving it a shot. Fun in other conditions, not just snow. Just don't ride it around on the street much, that's no fun and the tires are way too expensive to wear them down quickly on pavements.

Mine is custom built by a local guy, his company is Peacock Groove. His bikes are art. This is all steel. He may have some of it laser cut, but it was all hand done for a while.

If you don't plan on taking it apart? why not use silicone sealant?

I've replaced some of mine with the white roll sticky backed seal material that you can get at home depot or Lowe's.? ?I'll try to look up the specific details later.

I really like the Nordfab ducts.? I reconfigure it for new machines and took less than an hour.? I don't think you can do it as easily with spiral ducts when I was researching the two options.? When I received the Nordfab products, I was surprise how heavy they are.

BTW,?https://blastgateco.com/ products are compatible with Nordfab according to the company when I emailed them.? Slightly less expensive.? I plan to purchase some and compare the quality.? Specs on paper are the same as far as I can tell.

Definitely not as easy to reconfigure the spiral compared to clamp together especially if you need to change something in the middle of a run, not sure if it’s worth 4-5 times the cost of spiral though. Cost for me about $5500 in clamp together vs about $900 for spiral. I might to the trunk in spiral and drops in clamp as I don’t see the trunk changing in my current shop. That would be about $300 for spiral and 2-2500 for clamp

Frost King V23WA Ribbed Rubber Self-Stick Weatherseal Tape, 3/8" W, 1/8" T, 17 ft L, White

This works great for 5 and 6 inch clamps.? Larger diameter requires wider...
