Industrial Ducting
Nordfab® ducting is an integral part of dust, mist, and fume collection systems around the world.
As well as being the originator, Nordfab Ducting is the industry leader, and the world's largest supplier of clamp-together ducting for dust, mist, and smoke collection / process ventilation. Nordfab introduced Quick-Fit® clamp-together ductwork, with its unique rolled edge ends and easy-to-use clamps, in 1990.
Quick-Fit® clamp-together ducting known as “The World's Fastest Ducting", saves time and money on installation and cleanout. Quick-Fit has been installed in dust collection & ventilation applications in manufacturing facilities around the world for over four decades. Quick-Fit is ideal for facilities which are likely to change or expand because duct components can be easily disassembled and re-used, eliminating waste and avoiding the cost of new ductwork.
Nordfab manufactures duct in a variety of sizes, a range of duct material thicknesses (gauges) to suit your application, and in galvanized or stainless steel construction.
Quick-Fit® clamp-together ducting is manufactured in diameters from 3" to 24". Nordfab ducting is available in diameters up to 72" with flanged ends. For larger diameters and difficult applications, such as conveyance of abrasive materials, Nordfab offers ducting in a variety of gauges and / or with flanged connections. Nordfab duct has been third party tested to verify the duct's structural integrity.
Nordfab recently expanded in order to stock our most commonly used ductwork. Our Nordfab Now® program allows us to ship these items the day after order placement. We have the capacity to handle very large manufacturing projects and have provided ducting for locations of all sizes, including giga plants.
Nordfab offers a variety of resources for facility designers including Revit® families for BIM projects and an AutoCAD plug-in.
Nordfab Americas was incorporated in February 1979 and is celebrating over 45 years of providing quality products and service to the air filtration market. We are proud of our role in helping to provide solutions for a cleaner environment and safer workplaces.
We are Conflict Mineral Free.

QFS Sealed Ducting - Special Applications
Nordfab's QFS system consists of three parts: Caulking, Gaskets and O-ringsA sealed duct system is largely dependent on the skill and care of the installer, so Nordfab cannot guarantee a 100% leak free system. However, if users consult the technical data (to ensure that our gasket and sealing materials will stand up to the materials being conveyed) and take care in the installation process, this system has proven that it can be ‘Leak Free'.
Extracts oil to minimize amount of oil flowing through entire system.
Performs well with many oils and chemicals.
