While clamp-together ducting is the gold standard for many facilities, certain industrial applications demand the extreme durability and airtight integrity that only Flanged and Heavy Wall Ducting can provide. Craig Equipment offers US Duct’s robust flanged solutions, specifically engineered for high-pressure systems, abrasive materials, and large-diameter requirements across Kentucky and Southern Indiana.
We provide two primary flanged connection types to suit your installation needs and budget:
Van Stone Flanges (Lip-Flipped): Features a rotating flange behind a 1/2″ 90-degree lip on the duct end. This allows for easy bolt-hole alignment during installation without the need for welding, making it an efficient choice for large-diameter systems.
Welded Angle Flanges: For the most demanding high-pressure environments, flanges are welded directly to the duct. This creates a permanent, structural connection capable of handling significant vacuum or positive pressure.
When you are moving sand, glass, or heavy metal shavings, standard ductwork can wear through quickly. Our heavy-wall solutions include:
Gauges and Thickness: Available in 10-gauge, 3/16″, and up to 1/4″ plate construction.
Abrasive-Resistant Materials: Specialized alloys and coatings designed to extend the life of your elbows and high-wear components.
Custom Fabrication: Every system is tailored to your facility, ensuring a perfect fit for even the most complex layouts.
Our flanged and heavy wall systems provide a variety of demanding functions, including:
Foundries and Smelters: Handling high-heat and abrasive particulate.
Heavy Manufacturing: Large-scale smoke and fume exhaust systems.
Bulk Material Handling: Transporting grain, cement, or wood waste in high-volume environments.
High-Vacuum Systems: Maintaining structural integrity under intense negative pressure.
At Craig Equipment, we don’t just sell components; we provide complete air management solutions. From initial 3D modeling and system design to final installation, our team ensures your heavy-duty ducting system is optimized for performance and longevity.
