General Faq's

In this case, you will use the Quick-Fit Sleeve to achieve your desired length.

The Quick-Fit Sleeve is an 11″ piece used when a 5′ length of pipe has been cut smaller.

You will need a Quick-Fit Sleeve when a pipe run is less than a 5′ increment, and, for the most part, every time you use a branch or 90° elbow.

Clamps do not come with pipe. As a rule, you will need one clamp per component ordered. Our quoting tool, Quick Tick Online™ automatically calculates the Clamps needed for each QF component.

Nordfab stocks a wide variety of pipe, sleeves, elbow, branches and adapters in sizes 3″ to 12″. Please call Nordfab to check availability.

Standard shipment is 3-4 days for most parts.

Nordfab can make adapters and reducers to connect to most metric machines.

Nordfab offers reducers to 2″ diameters and smaller hose connections.

Nordfab can make custom manifolds to fit your needs. Contact Nordfab with your specifications.

A Pipe Hanger is needed every 10′ as a general rule to support the duct. Please refer to local codes.
