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.
Radial Arm Saw Hoods
Details
Keep your shop cleaner and safer with a Radial Arm Saw Hood, an industrial ventilation fitting built to pull sawdust, chips, and fine particulate straight from the blade path of radial arm and beam saws. It directs high-velocity airflow tightly around the saw blade to trap heavy debris before it becomes an airborne hazard, and it unclips just as easily for cleaning, reconfiguration, or relocating your setup.
Features
- Rolled-lip end connects to Quick Clamp Clamp-Together Duct (CTD)
- Tool-free assembly, cleaning, and reconfiguration
- 18-gauge galvanized steel body with 22-gauge collar
- Reduces airborne dust hazards around heavy machinery
