Abstract: An anti-rotation duct restraint system and methods of using this system for connecting flexible ducts are described. The anti-rotation duct restraint system includes a flexible cable having a swaged cable end and a flattened threaded cable end, wherein the swaged cable end can be aligned with a though-hole in a first flange of a first flexible duct, and the flattened threaded cable end, along with a mating metal bushing, can be aligned with a through-hole in a second flange of a second flexible duct. The system also includes a nut, which can be threaded onto the flattened threaded cable end and secured using a single tool with one hand, for connecting the first flexible duct with the second flexible duct.

Abstract: An anti-rotation cam adapted to prevent rotation of a cable restraint is described. The anti-rotation cam includes a body having a through-hole adapted to be coupled to a fitting of the cable restraint, a first leg extending out from the body and adapted to prevent the cam from rotating in a clockwise direction, and a second leg extending out from the body and adapted to prevent the cam from rotating in a counter-clockwise direction.
