US Tubing® by US Duct | Liquid-Tight Clamp-Together Ductwork for Battery, Wastewater & Automotive
US Tubing® by US Duct is a liquid-tight, oil mist-tight clamp-together ductwork system used in battery manufacturing plants, wastewater treatment facilities, and automotive manufacturing.
The Ultimate Leak-Free Seal
Leaks happen. But they don’t have to.
US Tubing® is US Duct’s liquid-tight, oil mist-tight clamp-together duct system, built for industrial environments where leaks are more than an inconvenience. They’re a risk. Battery plants, wastewater treatment facilities, and automotive manufacturers rely on US Tubing when ductwork has to seal tight and stay that way.
We call it The Ultimate Seal® because once it’s clamped, it stays sealed.
Built for the Industries That Can’t Afford Leaks
Loose joints, mist escaping, corrosion starting where it shouldn’t—we’ve seen it all. US Tubing was designed to solve the problem at the connection point, where leaks usually start.
why us tubing works:
- Liquid-tight and oil mist- tight by design
- Stainless steel and galvanized options
- Modular, clamp-together components
- Fully encompassing V-gasket on a Vanstone-flanged end
- Simple clamp with a torque-tightening bolt
No guessing. No sealant tricks. Just a tight joint every time.
Ductwork for Battery Manufacturing Plants
Battery manufacturing environments demand ductwork that holds up under corrosive vapors, oil mist, and strict safety standards. A small leak can turn into a big problem fast.
US Tubing is commonly used for:
- Electrode manufacturing exhaust
- Formation and aging room ventilation
- Oil mist collection from machining operations
- Corrosive and moisture-laden air streams
The liquid-tight seal helps protect people, equipment, and the process itself—exactly what battery plants need.
Ductwork for Wastewater Treatment Facilities
Wastewater plants are hard on ductwork. Moisture, condensation, corrosive gases, and odor control all push systems to their limits.
US Tubing is built for it.
Common wastewater applications include:
- Odor control systems
- Headworks ventilation
- Sludge handling exhaust
- Corrosive gas capture
The clamp-together design makes installation and maintenance easier in tight plant spaces, while the seal keeps leaks and corrosion in check.
Oil Mist-Tight Ductwork for Automotive Manufacturing
Automotive manufacturing is full of oil mist, coolants, and metalworking fluids. If ductwork leaks, that mist ends up where it doesn’t belong.
US Tubing is trusted for:
- CNC and machining center oil mist collection
- Engine and drivetrain manufacturing
- Metal fabrication exhaust
- High-volume manufacturing lines
When production lines change, the modular design allows fast reconfiguration without compromising the seal.
The Ultimate Seal®—How It Works
Every US Tubing component features a Vanstone-flanged end, formed by turning the pipe edge 90 degrees. A V-shaped gasket is applied directly over that edge.
When the clamp is tightened with a torque-tightening bolt, the gasket is compressed evenly around the entire circumference of the joint.
The result:
- A true liquid-tight seal
- No shifting gaskets
- No rolled lips to deform
- No leaks creeping in over time
You get the sealing performance of flanged ductwork with the speed and flexibility of a clamp-together system.
When to Use US Tubing
Use US Tubing when the airstream contains:
- Oil mist
- Liquids or condensation
- Corrosive vapors
- Moisture that finds its way into every joint
You get the sealing performance of flanged ductwork with the speed and flexibility of a clamp-together system.

Got leaks?
Everyone does. The difference is knowing how to handle them.
Leaky ductwork affects safety, efficiency, and air quality—but it’s preventable. Our guide walks through the most common causes of duct leaks and what to look for when choosing a secure connection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What ductwork is best for battery manufacturing plants?
US Tubing is a strong choice for battery plants because it provides a liquid-tight, oil mist-tight seal that holds up in corrosive and safety-critical environments.
What duct system works best in wastewater treatment facilities?
Clamp-together liquid-tight ductwork like US Tubing performs well in wastewater plants by resisting moisture, corrosion, and odor leaks.
Is clamp-together ductwork good for oil mist in automotive plants?
Yes. US Tubing is designed specifically for oil mist collection in automotive machining and metalworking operations.
How does US Tubing stop leaks?
Leaks are prevented by a fully encompassing V-gasket applied directly to a Vanstone-flanged pipe end, uniformly compressed by a clamp.
