Spiral pipe is now available at Sheridan Supply. Spiral pipe has become very popular. You can see it in expensive restaurants and in retail locations. It gives buildings old and new a very unique look. Here are some of the reasons why it is so popular.
Spiral pipe does not have sharp edges, so there is less noise than when rectangular duct is used. There is no reverberation because there is no pressure differential like in rectangular duct.
Spiral pipe can be cleaned and it is effective and economical. It even takes up much less sp
ace than rectangular duct.
Spiral pipe is pretty much eliminated and studies have shown that air tight systems can lead to good annual energy savings.
The spiral design provides equal pressure internally and allows the air to flow evenly and efficiently, also leading to lower energy use. The pressure drop of air leaving an air-handler is usually lower in a typical spiral system.
Air tight ducts are better for indoor air quality because they are more economical. They are less prone to leakage. There are less joints. Quality spiral pipe systems have less energy loss so systems are more efficient.
Spiral pipe make it easier for a technician to do periodic testing of air flow. Monitoring devices are now specifically made for spiral duct. Air Technicians appear to be able to obtain better air movement readings with pipe that does not have sharp corners.
