10" x 6" BA-CDHT Compression Duct Door for High Temperature Duct
The 10" x 6" BA-CDHT Compression Duct Door for High-Temperature Duct provides a high-heat, sealed access point into single-wall sheet metal ductwork operating at extreme temperatures.
Constructed from heavy-duty formed 16-gauge Black Iron plates and sealed with a high-temperature ceramic fiber rope gasket, it is specifically engineered for applications up to 2000°F.
Secured with all-steel bolts, springs, and steel wing nuts, it provides dependable sandwich-style clamping on dedicated flat ductwork and round pipe (4" to 60" diameters).
Why Choose 10" x 6" BA-CDHT Compression Duct Door for High Temperature Duct?
Ceramic Fiber Rope Gasket: Uses a specialized high-temperature ceramic fiber rope gasket to form a tight compression seal that won't degrade, melt, or burn under thermal stress.
Rated for Up to 2000°F: Built to withstand severe heat, operating reliably in high-temperature process exhaust systems up to 2000°F.
Compression-Mount Seal: A gasketed compression mount draws the door tight to the duct for reliable, leak-resistant access.
Durable16-Gauge Black Iron Construction: Fabricated from thicker 16-gauge Black Iron plates for structural integrity in intense thermal environments.
Resealable Compression Mechanism: Steel bolts, compression springs, and wing nuts clamp the inner and outer plates together, securely fastening the access door to the duct while maintaining consistent gasket compression.

What to Know About Installation Requirements?
Fitting the Door
The BA-CDHT installs into a cut opening in a high-temperature duct, with steel compression springs drawing the high-temperature gasketed door tight to the duct wall. Confirm the opening size, duct surface (flat or round), and operating temperature before ordering so the door and gasket suit the system.
Installation Notes
Confirm your system operating temperature does not exceed 2000°F.
Select the correct model profile: Flat or Round.
Stick the included self-adhesive cutout template onto the duct.
Precision-cut the opening along the template edge.
Spin off the steel wing nuts and insert the inner plate (with the ceramic fiber rope gasket facing the duct wall rim) through the opening.
Place the outer plate over the exterior studs and hand-tighten the steel wing nuts. Steel compression springs keep positive force on the ceramic gasket.
Who Specifies BA-CDHT and Where Is It Used?
