Anybody have one? Just curious, the flappers in both elbows of my Astro Vents on 68 are broke so they don’t seal up and the rubber from the elbow to fire wall is shot so I was going to buy new elbows and duct connectors. Got looking on Classic Industries and was maybe going to buy new deflectors while I’m at it, was looking at a seal kit too and was curious where these round ones go? See pic.

I don't know how to copy the post but if you look at new products section a post on the accordion tubing is about 3/4's down the page. I bought a set of these. While not original quality they were pretty decent.

Thanks for the links, does a guy need anything for actually connecting those accordion ducts, like screw/clamps, etc?

Anybody ever seen or know where those round seals I have circled in pic above go?

I think I just wrapped the joints with a little electrical tape. The parts you circled are the flap seals. I might have a photo somewhere.

X2, the seal on the round shut off flap in the vent.

The shut off flap in the elbows of mine are all cracked and have holes in them, but they look quite different then those pictured above with no screws or anything, just molded right to the rod?
Do those seals just attach to the existing flap then?

This is what the flap looks like in vents of mine.
