Round Spiral Ductwork

Spiral lock seam round duct and fittings for HVAC supply, return, exhaust, exposed duct runs, and equipment connections.
  • Galvanized spiral duct is standard; aluminum and stainless spiral duct can be quoted when the project requires another material.
  • Spiral pipe is available in every size from 4" through 10", then even sizes through 40". 10'-0" lengths are standard, with custom lengths available when required.
  • Fittings can be gore locked, spot welded, or fabricated with Taloc construction. Duct sealant is optional when specified.
Standard materialG90 Galvanized Steel
Size range4" - 40"
Standard length10'-0" sections

Construction Standard

ApplicationRound spiral duct and fittings for HVAC supply, return, exhaust, exposed duct runs, rooftop equipment connections, and general air distribution systems.
Standard materialG90 galvanized steel is standard. Aluminum and stainless steel are available when quoted for project-specific material requirements.
Sizes & gaugeSpiral duct is offered in every diameter from 4" through 10", then even sizes through 40". Galvanized spiral duct can be supplied up to 20 gauge depending on size and quoted project requirements.
Straight sections10'-0" spiral pipe lengths are standard. Custom lengths can be produced when required to coordinate field conditions, shipping, or installation layout.
Fitting constructionRound fittings can be gore locked, spot welded, or fabricated with Taloc construction based on size, material, application, and quoted scope.
Connection optionsSlip couplings, raw/plain ends, flanged ends, collars, taps, and custom connection details are available as shown or quoted. Duct sealant is optional when specified.
Quality checkSpiral duct and fittings receive visual inspection before release. Leak testing, pressure testing, or certified inspection are by others unless quoted.

Built toughSpiral lock seam duct for efficient round air distribution.
Quality checkedPipe and fittings receive visual inspection before release.
Material optionsGalvanized standard, with aluminum and stainless available.

Fabrication Capabilities

Spiral pipeRound spiral duct in standard 10'-0" lengths and project-specific lengths when required.
Round fittingsElbows, offsets, reducers, transitions, taps, collars, branches, and custom round fittings.
MaterialsG90 galvanized is standard; aluminum and stainless steel can be quoted for lighter weight, corrosion resistance, cleanability, or exposed finish requirements.
Fitting buildGore locked, spot welded, or Taloc construction can be selected based on material, diameter, pressure, and project requirements.
ConnectionsSlip couplings, flanged ends, collars, raw ends, and special connection details can be coordinated before release.
Release supportBuilt from released diameters, lengths, fitting angles, material, connection details, sealant requirements, and piece marks.

Material Options

GalvanizedStandard spiral duct material for most HVAC supply, return, exhaust, and exposed round duct applications.
AluminumAvailable when a lighter-weight or corrosion-resistant material is preferred for the project environment.
StainlessAvailable in stainless steel when cleanability, washdown, corrosive exposure, or exposed finish requirements call for it.
Material selectionConfirm material, gauge, finish expectations, and any sealant requirements before release.

Connection Options

Slip couplers
Standard joiningCouplings for screw assembly of spiral pipe sections.
Plain ends
Field fitRaw or plain ends for field trimming and coordinated assembly.
Flanges
Bolted endsFlanged connections can be quoted where bolted assembly is required.
Sealant
Optional sealingDuct sealant can be applied or supplied when specified.

Optional Accessories

Fitting optionsGore locked, spot welded, or Taloc fitting construction as required by the project.
SealingDuct sealant, gasket, butyl, or mastic details where specified and quoted.
AccessAccess doors, cleanout openings, inspection panels, and drain fittings when applicable.
Custom detailsSpecial collars, taps, branches, flanges, reinforcement, piece marks, and hardware.

Required for Quote / Release

  • Diameter, material, gauge if specified, quantity, and required standard or custom lengths.
  • Approved drawing, sketch, or verified field dimensions with airflow/orientation noted.
  • Fitting list with angles, offsets, reducers, taps, collars, branches, and transition requirements.
  • Connection details: slip couplings, plain ends, flanged ends, sealant, gaskets, or special hardware.
  • Piece marks, access openings, pressure class, seal class, exposed finish requirements, and any testing requirements.

Not Included Unless Quoted

  • Installation, hoisting, rigging, roofing, roof penetration work, or field sealing unless quoted.
  • Engineering, permits, inspections, balancing, cleaning, field finish touch-up, or listed-system certification.
  • Leak testing, pressure testing, fire wrap, fire-rated enclosure, gaskets, sealant, hardware, or rework from changed release dimensions unless quoted.

Scope & Responsibility

Code note: Spiral duct systems may be governed by mechanical code, local code, project specifications, pressure class, seal class, material requirements, and AHJ requirements. Empire fabricates duct and fittings to released dimensions and quoted scope; final system design, material selection, installation method, field sealing, clearances, balancing, and acceptance remain the responsibility of others unless expressly included.
