Fume Hood Blowers, & Ducting

Stainless Steel Lab Ducting Benefits

• corrosion resistant to some materials
• moisture resistant
• abrasion resistant
• stainless steel flex duct makes installation much easier
• sizes available from 3″ through 16″ diameters

Laboratory PVC Ducting

At LabDS we recommend PVC Air Duct for many applications. It is cost-effective, relative to stainless steel, and it can be widely used in so many applications and sizes.

PVC Ducting is not the same as schedule 40 thick-walled PVC. PVC Air duct is thin-walled and is meant for air movement only. It is lighter than schedule 40 PVC and can be welded and fabricated easily to meet your needs.
