Slip & Drive (aka S and Drive Duct) Installation for HVAC Ductwork

Slip & Drive Duct— The most common transverse (end to end) connection for commercial HVAC Duct. The Drive Cleat is secured to the 360 degree flanged section on left (formed by a Cleatbender or Drive Turn machine). The Flat S Lock is hammered onto the section on right. For most low and medium pressure jobs, Duct Slip and Drive connections meet SMACNA standards.

Slip and Drive Duct is the most common type of rectangular ductwork. Even the largest Duct fab shops will tell you that Slip and Drive duct accounts for a greater percentage than the TDC/F and Ductmate flanged duct they produce.

God it’s it looks so easy putting them in but once Sheetrock is in its the biggest pain in the ass taking those damn cleats out!!!

S & D hasn't been used for decades here in the UK, No one I know liked working with it, it looks nice and easy on a bench but getting it to stay straight and not twist was a nightmare while fitting a 1200mm long length of duct on-site, usually off of a pair of steps, with just a 200mm gap from the slab to try and get the corners in (No self-respecting trunker would bend the corners over with a hammer). It also leaked like a sieve when tested.
Stupid idea that didn't last, was ok for a bit of 200 square toilet extract but useless when used as a supply run.
