The truth is, there are many advantages to using spiral pipe at your industrial building. Originally developed for the HVAC industry, spiral pipe, used in conjunction with clear flexible ducting hose, is now commonly used in many manufacturing, aerospace and HVAC applications.
Many Advantages
Spiral pipe, especially when used with clear flexible ducting hose, is both aesthetically pleasing and extremely functional. Metal spiral pipe in particular has an attractive appearance, and many architects choose to leave it exposed for that reason. If you want it to blend in, you can have it painted, but it looks great left as is.
It’s relatively easy to install spiral pipe, and there are fewer joints and connections to worry about than with other types of pipe. The connections that do exist are simple to seal, and air leakage is extremely low when these pipes are installed the right way.
Over time, they are easy to maintain because they collect little interior dust. No matter what configurations you need, it’s usually possible to have spiral pipe conform to them using standard components. If not, components can be customized. Furthermore, because of their strength, they can be manufactured in lower gauges of steel, and this reduces weight, which, in turn, reduces costs.
Perhaps the greatest advantage of spiral pipes is their enormous strength. These pipes stand up to the blasts and pressures of a fully operating industrial building. This, more than anything, is why they are so frequently used across so many industries.
