Ductwork Fans
Inline duct fans boost airflow in existing systems where static pressure losses exceed fan capacity. Typical applications include long duct runs, multiple branch connections, or systems with restrictive filtration.
Industrial Ducting
Heavy-duty systems designed for dust collection and high-pressure applications up to 40 inches w.g. Complete fabrication capabilities include custom fittings, transitions, and specialty components.
Design assistance available for system layout optimization and static pressure calculations. All components manufactured to SMACNA standards with welded seams for leak-tight performance.
Fabric Distribution Duct
Antimicrobial polyester fabric ducts provide uniform air distribution through engineered perforation patterns. Designed for supply air only with operating pressures from 0.08 to 1.2 inches w.g.
Throw distances up to 50 feet enable coverage of large spaces from central locations. Integration with makeup air units provides complete HVAC solutions for high-ceiling applications.
| Material | Temperature Range | Application | Suspension Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vinyl Coated Polyester | -10°F to 160°F | Food processing, clean rooms | Cable suspension |
| Polyethylene | 32°F to 140°F | Gyms, recreational facilities | Halo suspension |
| Reinforced Polyester | -20°F to 180°F | Warehouses, industrial | HD rail system |
Seasonal airflow patterns maximize energy efficiency: winter operation mixes stratified air layers while summer mode provides direct cooling. Targeted ventilation zones allow workstation-specific climate control.
Give us a call to discuss our full line of sheet metal ducting, including elbows, branches, hoods, reducers, and a variety of other fittings. All ducting can be manufactured of galvanized or stainless steel in a variety of gauges.
Industrial Ductwork Solutions for Process Ventilation
Flexible Ductwork
Flexible duct systems replace rigid galvanized pipe in most industrial applications. Material selection determines performance characteristics:
Polyurethane construction provides chemical resistance against acids and corrosive vapors. PTFE (Teflon) lined ducts handle extreme temperatures up to 500°F while maintaining flexibility. Wire-reinforced galvanized steel resists abrasion from particulate matter in material handling systems.
Installation requires 25% less labor than rigid ductwork due to elimination of joints and fittings. Verify local code compliance for flexible duct applications in your facility.
Spiral Ductwork
Spiral duct construction uses continuous helical seaming for superior structural integrity. Standard materials include 22-gauge galvanized steel and 20-gauge aluminum for corrosive environments.
Alternative constructions include fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) for chemical resistance and wire-composite designs for high-temperature applications up to 1200°F.
Manufacturing limits: 20-foot maximum lengths due to shipping constraints. Larger diameters available up to 72 inches. Connection methods include slip joints with sealant or flanged connections with gaskets for pressure applications above 6 inches w.g.
Clamp Ductwork Systems
Clamp-together ductwork eliminates welding and reduces installation time by 60%. Each section features factory-rolled flanges that mate with gasketed band clamps.
Pressure ratings: Standard systems handle up to 10 inches w.g. static pressure. Gasket materials include EPDM for general applications and Viton for chemical resistance.
Material specifications: Available in galvanized steel (18-24 gauge standard, 10-16 gauge heavy-wall) and 316L stainless steel for food processing and pharmaceutical applications.
System integration: Transition adapters connect clamp ductwork to existing spiral duct systems or equipment flanges. Custom flange patterns available for OEM equipment connections.
Field modifications: Adjustable sleeves accommodate field length requirements. The 11-inch adjustment sleeve uses O-ring seals and internal clamping to create leak-tight connections when standard lengths require trimming.
Installation demonstration video shows proper sleeve adjustment techniques and sealing procedures.
PVC Ductwork Systems
PVC ductwork provides corrosion resistance at 40-60% lower cost than stainless steel systems. Designed specifically for air movement applications with reduced wall thickness compared to pressure piping.
Material properties: Excellent chemical resistance to acids, alkalis, and chlorinated compounds. Low thermal conductivity (0.19 W/m·K) reduces condensation in temperature-differential applications. Operating temperature range: -10°F to 140°F continuous service.
Applications: Corrosive fume extraction, laboratory exhaust systems, wet scrubber connections, and chemical process ventilation. Not suitable for high-temperature applications or systems requiring fire resistance.
Size availability: Standard diameters from 3 inches to 65 inches. Wall thickness typically Schedule 20 for diameters up to 12 inches, Schedule 10 for larger sizes to maintain structural integrity while minimizing weight.
Installation advantages: Solvent-welded joints create permanent, leak-tight connections. Complete fitting library includes elbows, tees, reducers, and custom transitions. No special tools required beyond standard PVC joining techniques.

Duct Survey
A duct system may look like a simple collection of pipes but the reality is that it is an engineered system. Proper sizing and layout is required to ensure the air is flowing efficiently and effectively for your process.
Our trained sales engineers can survey and assess your new or existing system to provide you with the best approach to air movement.
Please give us a call to set up a site survey with one of our highly qualified sales engineers so we can keep your processes running smoothly.

Commercial Kitchen Hood Ductwork
Commercial kitchen ventilation systems require specialized ductwork to handle grease-laden vapors, high temperatures, and frequent washdown cycles. System design must comply with NFPA 96 requirements for grease removal and fire suppression integration.
Critical system connections include high-temperature exhaust fans rated to 1000°F, grease removal systems, and make-up air units for balanced ventilation.
