The new Rapidmate® Corner lineup from Ductmate is the most advanced design, labor-saving corner system in the industry, with features that save time and money in both the shop and the field. Here’s why Rapidmate stands out: 

  • Advanced bridge design replaces standard tabs, providing even loading and smoother corner insertion 

  • Available in Strap-Pak™ Magazines, preloaded and stacked with 80 corners per magazine for automatic corner insertion machinery 

  • Beveled gasket plate guides gasket placement at the three critical points and duct wall for improved seal 

  • Unique raised spacer plate ensures proper corner spacing, preventing overtightening or excessive gasket compression 

  • Easy alignment and installation, every time 

  • Heavy-duty universal high-hat screws available in 5/16” and 9/16” heads in 1” and 1.5” lengths that simplify connections and reduce installation time 

  • Available in galvanized, galvanneal, aluminized, and PVC coating specialty metals

  • Union-made in America with U.S. Steel

With our proprietary time-saving Strap-Pak Magazines for automatic corner-insertion machinery, you can reload at least three times faster than traditional corner packaging, significantly reducing loading time, jamming, and lost production time. Each Strap-Pak includes 80 pre-counted corners per strap, compared to the traditional 25 per stack. Simply load and watch your efficiency and savings stack up! 

In addition to TDC/TDF profiles, Rapidmate Slide-On Flange Corners are available for the DM35 and WDCI J systems. The DM35 Rapidmate 3A corners feature a downset design to ensure a superior seal at the duct and corner, and an embossed pillow design for enhanced corner strength and fit. The DM35 12-gauge heavy corners and WDCI J 11-gauge corners have been designed for added strength.
