    l DK 2020 00600 A1FLANGE MEMBER FOR VENTILATION DUCTS
    TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention disclosed herein generally relates to a flange for ventilation ducts. More particularly, the present invention relates to a wall flange for preventing the ventilation ducts from punctures or breaks and expands through a wall, thereby effectively preventing the spread of smoke and fire from one room to another.
    BACKGROUND Various structures are provided with a vent pipe system or a duct system, which is a collection of tubes that distributes the air to the various rooms. The vent pipe system or duct system leads from inside the structure to terminate at a point outside an external surface of the structure for ventilation purposes. Ventilation refers to the exchange of indoor and outdoor air. For example, every building or house with indoor plumbing has a vent component that allows atmospheric air to enter into various rooms. Without proper ventilation, gases from combustion appliances, like stoves and fireplaces, could accumulate in a poorly ventilated house/building and threaten people’s health and safety.
    Generally, ventilation ducts are normally fabricated from thin galvanized sheet steel in the form of rectangular or circular duct sections of predetermined length. Said duct sections are assembled into channels of any desired length by connecting together via flange members. Experience over time, however, has shown that especially the — collections in the ventilation duct system have been vulnerable and contributed to fire spread. It has also been found that in case of fire, due to the large heat development, very large stresses/tensions arise in the pipe installation itself, which makes it fall off both horizontally and vertically, depending on the location.
    ; DK 2020 00600 A1 The ventilation ducts provide possible routes for smoke spread between adjacent rooms in case of a compartment fire. When a ventilation duct goes from one room to another, it happens by breaking through a wall. It is through this breakthrough that the danger arises in fire situations, as fire and smoke could then spread from one room to another. In addition, a certified fire sealant is therefore used to eliminate the spreading of fire and smoke from one room to another. The problem then arises when the duct (channel) system begins to fall off or extend, which could destroy the fire sealing, thereby spreading fire and smoke between the rooms in a building or house.
    In the light of above-mentioned problems, there is a need for a wall flange for preventing the ventilation ducts from punctures and breaks through a wall, thereby effectively preventing the spread of smoke and fire from one room to another.
