TTF014 Flexi-tube SunTunnel Skylight

14 inch diameter rough opening, acrylic dome, tile flashing

The Sun Tunnel Flexi-Tube skylight system is the easiest and most affordable way to add the beauty of natural lighting. Affordable, efficient, and easy to install, the Sun Tunnel is perfect for lighting your hallway, bathrooms, kitchen or anywhere that needs more natural light.

The Sun Tunnel is available in 14inch or 22inch diameter with the patented flexible tubing which allows the unit to go around virtually any attic obstructions.

The 14-inch diameter is best for lighting up bathrooms, halls, walk-in closets and areas up to 10foot x 10foot. 14-inch diameter fits between 16inches on center.

The flexible tube passes all ignition, flammability and smoke density testing requirements necessary to meet National Building Codes standards across the United States. One of the key components in The Sun Tunnel Skylight system is its fully patented, flexible, reflective tubing. This tubing is similar in structural design to the tubing used for many decades in the heating and air conditioning industry and can be found in commercial businesses, high-rise buildings, hospitals, schools, and residential homes throughout North America and many other parts of the world.

Sun Tunnel has taken this time-proven technology for channeling heat and cold, and added a space-age U.V.-proof liner to the inside in order to channel sunlight efficiently through attics to dark rooms all over the world. The clear dome on the roof is made from almost totally U.V. resistant materials, eliminating harmful U.V. rays before they can even reach the tubing, guaranteeing that the flexible tube will perform for many years to come.

This flexible tubing makes The Sun Tunnel by far the most "user friendly" and easy-to-install tubular skylight on the market today. The ability to flex around almost any attic obstruction without the need for expensive elbows or extensions means that Sun Tunnel Skylights can be efficiently and economically installed in places no other skylight can reach. Naturally, the shorter, tighter and straighter you install the tubing, the better the performance, but Sun Tunnel Skylights are installed every week in hard-to-reach areas, sometimes with 90-degree bends in the tubing, and are still performing adequately.

The one piece design of the flashing for the model TSF SunTunnel™ fits most shingle and shake roofs. Made of durable 24 guage Zincalume, it provides 3 to 4 times the weather resistance of standard galvanized materials. The sleek metal flashing with vertical collar integrates smoothly to the roof, avoiding unslightly joints at the roofline.

Kit includes:

The dome, flashing, tubing, hardware and everything needed for a complete roof-to-ceiling installation (including step-by-step instructions.)

Tubing

Each unit comes standard with six feet of tubing.

The tubing is a double layer of metalized polyester film with a double inner layer of reinforced aluminum Sola-film with a highly reflective ultraviolet-proof laminate. The dome is made of UV Stabilized Grade-One Acrylic. By improving upon the flexible tube technology used for years in the heating and air-conditioning industries, we've created a way of bending sunlight around attic obstructions and the most cost- and-energy-efficient skylight system available in the United States.
