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.
US Tubing
US Tubing (Clamp-Together) is a laser-welded, airtight duct in a clamp connection style. Using a Vanstone edge and a fully encompassing gasket, this version of clamp connecting ducting provides a superior, leak-free seal.
The components (pipes, branches, elbows, etc.) are standard 20-gauge metal (galvanized, stainless steel, or painted) with a range of 22 to 16 gauge available upon request. The pipe comes in standard 59" lengths which can be easily clamp-connected together to produce long runs.
Applications:
- Food & Beverage Processing
- Machining
- Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology
- Wastewater Management
- Chemical Processing
- Agricultural and Irrigation Systems
- Automotive and Aerospace
- & more!
The US Tubing clamp-together ducting system uses an adjustable clamp to compress a gasket between two perfectly flat pipe ends to produce an extremely tight seal. The system was designed specifically for coolant mist systems and is guaranteed not to leak. If any part does leak, the company will, at its discretion, repair or replace it within five working days at no charge.
