As a contractor, you know how important it is to ensure that overhead is kept to a minimum, so why continue to install rectangular ductwork systems when there’s clearly a better option?
When you work with spiral duct, not only does it allow for less weight in material to achieve the same airflow, it also requires less insulation… a clear economic advantage.
Quoting a recent article in Snips Magazine: “Rectangular duct, fabricated to SMACNA standards, used 20-22 gauge materials with TDC/TDF connectors. The spiral lock-seam SMACNA standard was 22-24 gauge. The gauge change alone saves 10 percent in pounds of material.”
Another appealing aspect of Spiral Duct is that it leaks much less than rectangular. So much so, that spiral duct is code-exempt from the sealing requirements stipulated under ASHRAE’s 9.1 for residential buildings.
Not only does spiral duct win out in cost-efficiency, it can add value in the sense of quality and design appeal.
While its advantages in practicality make it an appealing choice to customers and contractors alike, the look and appearance of spiral duct is generally seen as more aesthetically pleasing.
Spiral offers advantages in efficiency, as well.
Spiral duct allows air to travel at a significantly lower pressure, while moving the same volume as rectangular duct with comparable airflow. This enables HVAC systems employing spiral duct to not only operate more quietly, but to be more energy efficient.
Because a spiral duct system requires less power to move the same volume of air, it adds more value to the installation in the long-run, creating energy savings for the customer.
