¿Cuál es la diferencia entre el conducto de papel de aluminio y el conducto de papel de aluminio semirrígido?

What is Aluminum Foil Duct

Made of flexible aluminum foil, Este es el tipo más común de conductos de transición para secadoras: aquellos que se conectan desde el electrodoméstico al conducto principal que va al exterior.. Lata de conducto de aluminio en forma de acordeón de aproximadamente 1 a 8 pies, que suele ser suficiente para la mayoría de las instalaciones.

Transition ducts must not be concealed inside walls or other building cavities and usually have a maximum allowed length of 8 pies. Foil duct is held in place with dryer clamps or large hose clamps. Metal tape can be used, too, but clamps make it easier to remove the tubing for cleaning.

What is Semi-Rigid Metal Duct

Semi-rigid metal (usually aluminum) duct is flexible and similar to foil ducting but quite a bit more rigid. Like foil duct, semi-rigid is used only for transition ducting and should not be concealed in walls or floors. It is typically installed with clamps. Although semi-rigid metal duct is often stronger and has a smoother interior (catches less lint) than foil duct, it is more common to find listed foil duct than listed semi-rigid.
