What Is Ductwork?

HVAC systems, commonly known asDuct Systems (ductwork)remove and deliver air. HVAC ductwork provides needed airflow in your home, office or building. These systems, for example, could include return air, exhaust air or supply air. It is essential that these systems areworking properly in order to provide thermal/cool comfort as well as indoor air quality. If you are putting in a brand new HVAC ductwork system, it is important to plan and make up a design. This can save you both time and money as you work on your project.

HVAC Fittings Materials

Generally, most of your ductwork will be made ofgalvanized mild steel. This mild steel allows for a little bit of flexibility, but not too much as to damage the flow of air. Here at PlumbersStock, we also provide a variety offlexible pipesor ducts. Typically, they are made of flexible plastic over a metal wire coil in order to make them round. They also can be made of aluminum.

Another form of HVAC ductwork isthe stove pipe. It is made of galvanized steel, as is the general ductwork for the airflow systems. It differs however in strength with the stovepipe being stronger as it is used with both wood and coal-burning stoves. Often times these HVAC fittings are painted black as well. These pipes are used to lead from the stove to the chimney. PlumbersStock carries a variety of stove pipes made byM&G Duravent which uses a 24 gauge steel.

NOTE:There is a misconception withHVAC ductwork projects. The joints between fittings and pipes where they join need to be sealed in order for the proper use and cost-effectiveness.Duct tape IS NOT THE ANSWER here. Even though it carries duct in its name, it is not usable for long-lasting durability. The adhesive used in duct tape dries and cracks over time. Using anAluminum Tapeis your best bet and is specifically made for these jobs. Also, make sure to get an aluminum tape that is fire rated.
