ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for permanently and sealably connecting two duct sections, the duct sections having peripheral flanges forming opposite and corresponding halves of a composite, T-shaped peripheral flange extending outwardly from the duct sections. The composite flange has an upper cross-piece portion and a lower upright portion, the lower upright portion of the T-shaped flange containing a continuous reservoir of deformable gasket material. The method comprises the steps of first placing square-cornered, U-shaped clamps over the upper cross-piece portion of the T-shaped flange at spaced intervals thereon; secondly, pressing sides of each of the clamps inwardly and crimping the clamps to upper and lower surfaces of the upper cross-piece portion, forcing a portion of the gasket material to flow from the reservoir between the flange halves, towards the duct sections, thereby producing a sealed joint between the duct sections; and thirdly, rippling each of the clamps simultaneously with the upper cross-piece portion adjacent each of the clamps, causing undulations in both which prevent the clamps from slipping out of clamping contact with the upper portion of the T-shaped flange, thereby permanently connecting the duct sections.
