Why Automotive and Battery Manufacturers Are Ditching Leaky Duct Systems for US Tubing
A duct system doesn't have to fail outright to become a liability - a joint loosening over time is often enough. As connections wear from vibration and temperature swings, oil mist, coolant aerosols, and corrosive vapors start escaping into spaces they were never meant to reach. This piece looks at why leak points at the joint are the most common failure mode in ductwork, and why that risk is especially high-stakes in automotive and battery manufacturing environments.
This article from US Duct explains why traditional slip-joint ductwork tends to loosen and leak over time, and why that's a particular problem for automotive and battery manufacturing facilities managing oil mist, corrosive vapors, and tight air quality controls. It also covers how sealed, clamp-connected duct systems can hold up better under continuous production use. Read the full article on US Duct's blog.
