Choosing industrial ductwork shouldn’t come down to the price per foot of straight pipe. While spiral pipe may offer a lower initial material cost, US Duct and US Tubing are designed as complete systems that provide advantages in installation speed, durability, adjustability, sealing, and long-term value. This article compares spiral pipe with US Duct and US Tubing, highlighting key differences in construction, connections, leakage performance, field installation, and lifecycle costs. US Duct offers a strong, modular, adjustable solution for dust collection, most fume applications, and industrial air movement, while US Tubing provides a guaranteed leak-free connection for applications where air or fluid cannot escape. With clamp-together installation that can reduce installation time by approximately 70%, plus components that can be disassembled, modified, and reused, US Duct and US Tubing can deliver value well beyond the initial material price. The right choice ultimately depends on the system’s specific requirements for strength, sealing, installation speed, adjustability, and long-term flexibility.
Floor Sweeps
Details
Floor Sweeps remove debris from the shop floor wherever cleanup is needed. Just open the double-hinged door and sweep shop debris away. When you're done, the dust collection system's vacuum holds the door tightly closed to prevent system pressure loss. An integral “foot-push” tab allows hands-free operation, so you can keep sweeping while the door opens for you. Commonly known as a Floor Hood or Dust Nozzle, it's an easy addition to any dust collection setup.
Features
- Double-hinged floor-level door held shut by system vacuum
- Integral “foot-push” tab for hands-free operation
- Rolled-lip ends connect to Quick Clamp Clamp-Together Duct (CTD)
- 18-gauge galvanized steel
- Tool-free clamp-together connection; no rivets, screws, or tape needed
