Start 2021 off on the right foot by learning new skills (or brushing them up)!  We've got the first two Duct Quote training sessions of the new year now open for registration!

Here’s a quick guide to selecting ductwork connection types based on the seal they offer.

As the Covid virus continues, so too do the rumors, opinions, and confusing safety directives. Everyone has an opinion on what to do.

 

Our goal at US-Duct, US-Metal Crafters, and US-Enhanced  is two-fold- “To keep you safe and allow you to continue to provide for your families.”

 

As you can imagine, these goals are often in conflict. So frankly, we have absolutely no idea as to how to guide you.

 

Therefore we have made this statement- and I want to renew it here-

The casual observer would consider the vast majority of dust collection systems "leak-free."

When we distributed the first US Duct-Duck Calendar back in 2015, we had no idea that it would turn into such a hit. Now, 5 years later, the annual calendar filled with duct – and ducks – has become a part of our company, and something that many of our customers, employees, and vendors look forward to each year. 

 

If not handled properly, oil mist can become a safety hazard when it’s released into the ambient air. Not only does it pollute the air we breathe, but it can also create puddles on the floor — cue the “Slippery when wet” signs and workers’ comp forms.

Choosing a product with certain protective features or that works with specific accessories allows you to put together a leak-free system for pneumatic conveying, laboratory exhausting, machining, and more. With its clamp and gasket design, US Tubing offers an airtight seal for a flexible, safe, and leak-free solution.

Oil mist is a byproduct of using metalworking fluids (MWFs) in an industrial machining or cutting process. Although MWFs can prolong the tools’ lives and make it easier to cut through materials, the oil mist they produce can also pollute the manufacturing space and overload collectors.

Sometimes, no matter how many links you click, pages you scroll, or catalogs you flip through, you just can’t find that solution that checks all of your boxes.
