   An advantage of flexible rubber fittings is that they can accommodate small misalignments and can be flexed slightly for installation in tight locations. [ 21 ] : 147, 149 A flexible fitting may be preferred to connect a shower or heavy tub to the drainage system without transmitting slight movements or stresses, which could eventually cause ...

4. Duct (flow) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_(flow)

   Kinks in flexible ducting must be avoided. Some flexible duct markets prefer to avoid using flexible duct on the return air portions of HVAC systems, however flexible duct can tolerate moderate negative pressures. The UL181 test requires a negative pressure of 200 Pa. To use flexible ducting in a system, make sure to pull the duct tight so you ...

7. Underfloor air distribution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underfloor_air_distribution

   Current research suggests that both energy and thermal performance can be improved in UFAD systems by ducting air to perimeter zones where loads tend to be the greatest. [16] Critics suggest however that such underfloor ducting reduces the benefit of having a low-pressure plenum space, as well as adding design and installation complications ...

8. Tainter gate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tainter_gate

   The design of the Tainter gate results in every pressure force acting through the centre of the imaginary circle of which the gate is a section, so that all resulting pressure force acts through the pivot point of the gate, making construction and design easier. When a Tainter gate is closed, water bears on the convex (upstream) side.
