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.
Hose Adapters
Details
Hose Adapters connect your ductwork to flexible hose in dust, mist, and fume collection systems. One end is a raw end sized to the inside diameter (ID) of your hose, with an expanded bead knurled onto the adapter. That bead keeps the hose from sliding off and gives you roughly 2 inches of adjustability to fine-tune the fit. It's a fast, reliable way to transition from rigid duct to flex hose, and just as easy to take apart for cleaning or relocation.
Features
- Rolled-lip end connects to Quick Clamp Clamp-Together Duct (CTD)
- Worm clamp secures the hose (not included)
- 24-gauge in 3-inch, 22-gauge in larger sizes
- Approximately 2 inches of adjustability on the hose end
