Round Duct Fittings: A Rundown

One common question people ask when they are in the market for new ducting is “Should I use rectangular ductwork or spiral ductwork?” If you find yourself asking this question, take a few minutes to read this quick rundown of round duct fittings. You may find it quite helpful. 


What are Round Duct Fittings?

First thing’s first: let’s define round duct fittings. Round duct fittings, or spiral round ducts, are cylindrical pipes that lack the severe angles found in rectangular ductwork. They are most often made from galvanized steel, but can also be made from a whole host of other materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and more. 


How are Round Duct Fittings Used?

Round duct fittings are very versatile, and are consequently used for a vast array of applications, both commercial and industrial. Spiral ducts can be found in commercial HVAC systems in clinics, hospitals, churches, community centers, retail stores, restaurants, sports facilities like fitness centers, schools, university buildings, office buildings, warehouses, and more. 


Spiral pipe can also be used for a variety of heavy duty industrial applications. It can be used for dust collection applications (eliminating particulate matter, wood shavings, sawdust, and other manufacturing byproducts from the air), industrial ventilation (removing chemical fumes and other environmental toxins from the air), and even bulk material handling operations. 


What are the Advantages of Using Round Duct Fittings? 

Round duct fittings come with many advantages that rectangular duct fittings do not. For example, they are more energy efficient, they are cheaper and easier to install, and they can provide a sleek, modern appearance when used in indoor environments. 


Now that you know a little bit more about round duct fittings, you will likely have an easier time deciding what kind of ductwork is best for your application.
