DuctQuote Update Sept 2026 | US Duct

Table of Contents

DuctQuote keeps improving based on how dealers actually use it in the field — not on a marketing wishlist. This month's update tightens up bill-of-materials accuracy, smooths out several rough edges in the 3D modeling experience, and speeds up project management. Here's what changed.

Bill of Materials Accuracy

A BOM you can't trust is a BOM you have to double-check by hand, and that costs time on every quote. Two fixes close that gap this month:

• Flanged pipe BOM counts were corrected so every physical flanged piece is now counted.

• Four 3-inch US Tubing 45-degree elbows were corrected.

Smoother 3D Modeling

Most of this month's work went into cleaning up the modeling experience itself — the small friction points that slow a dealer down mid-build.

• 3D models now load more reliably and keep their saved height.

• Locked models stay locked after saving and reopening. Copied models can be locked independently.

• Clicking a model while it's still loading now places it exactly where you clicked.

• Canceling or deleting a loading model no longer leaves a ghost model or an invisible selection box behind.

• “Place on Floor” keeps the model selected with its movement handles visible, so you can keep adjusting without reselecting.

Faster, Safer Project Management

Two changes that make day-to-day project handling more reliable:

• Project searching was made safer, including searches containing apostrophes.

• Layout order numbers now load more efficiently.

DuctQuote is free for dealers and resellers, and training is included. If you haven't set it up yet, now's a good time to get started.

How Poor Hood Design Impacts Dust Collection Performance

Your dust collector can be sized correctly. Your fan can be powerful enough. Your ductwork can be designed properly. But if the hood isn't capturing dust at the source, the whole system has to work harder. Effective dust collection starts where the dust starts. Learn how hood design, capture velocity, CFM, static pressure, and transport velocity work together to keep contaminants out of your facility's air.

Industrial Tubing vs Spiral Pipe

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.
