Fixings, Supports & Components for Ducting & Ventilation Systems

Ensure your ducting and ventilation systems are supported with quality, durable fixings and components. At Alpha Tube, we stock a wide selection of fittings built to meet demands from light-gauge installations to heavy structural applications. Offering both slotted and non-slotted channel profiles, split brackets, flange systems, suspension wires and more — our product range ensures safety, reliability & flexibility.

 


 

Why Choose the Right Fixings & Supports?

  • Load capacity & safety: Proper-sized channel systems, split brackets and supports ensure your ductwork remains securely fastened, even under heavy loads or vibration.

  • Corrosion resistance: Galvanised steels and sealed flange systems protect against environmental wear.

  • Versatility: With options from compact single channels to heavy back-to-back profiles, you can adapt your support system to different project sizes and constraints.

  • Compliance & standards: Many of our channels are BS stamped and engineered for mechanical, electrical, and industrial installations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 

Q1: What’s the difference between slotted and non-slotted channel?

A: Slotted channels allow flexible alignment, while non-slotted provide stronger continuous support.

 

Q2: What size split bracket or wire do I need?

A: Match your duct diameter and weight to the Safe Working Load (SWL). Larger ducts may require heavier supports.

 

Q3: Do you supply BS-stamped channel sections?

A: Yes, many of our sections are BS-stamped.

 

Q4: Can you provide custom sizes?

A: Yes, we often supply bespoke sizes — contact us to check availability.
