Ever wondered how to piece together spiral ducting?

We’ll guide you with some options about joining bits of spiral together:

Which coupler is used to join two bits of spiral together?

You would use a male coupler as the spiral is female ended, so both slot in together.

I need the ducting to branch off into different directions..?

Branch pieces are the components to use, with their male-ended fittings. Branch pieces effortlessly slot into the spiral, allowing for branching off into different directions as needed.

How about joining multiple fittings together?

Whether it's reducers, connectors, or adapters, fittings can be joined together with various methods. One option is to use a short piece of spiral to bridge the gap between fittings. Alternatively, female couplers can be used to connect fittings securely.

How would proper sealing of joints be ensured?

Once the components are in place and properly connected, it's crucial to secure the connections to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the ducting system. This can be achieved by using a variety of methods such as sealant, rivets, tech screws, tape, or a combination depending on the specific requirements of the application.

These securing techniques not only provide structural stability but also help to prevent air leaks and ensure airtight connections, enhancing the overall efficiency of the ducting system.

Are you able to transport food and liquids through spiral ducting?

We stock ducting in a range of stainless steel such as the food grade 304 and 316, which is commonly chosen in the food industry as it can be cleaned and washed down without any problems.

Whether you're in need of standard spiral ducting or custom configurations, our extensive range has you covered.
