Thin-walled metal duct particularly useful for heating and air-conditioning purposes is usually made by grooving, spiral wrapping, and seaming strips of thin metal sheet. The resultant tubular form provides the necessary rigidity to resist collapse of the tubular form. In the past, at least one end of the ribbed tubular ducts have been reformed to permit the ducts to be joined together. The end reforming techniques of the past have resulted in reformed ends having insufficient rigidity and strength to resist the abuse the ducts frequently receive in shipping, storing, handling, and installation.
