AQC Industries introduces Q Duct™ Outdoor Preinsulated Duct System, which is engineered for exterior and rooftop applications. Constructed to withstand harsh weather conditions in all climates, this rugged outdoor air-duct system saves energy, space and labor.
Q Duct is custom fabricated using two layers of rigid UL 181 Pal phenolic core material, faced on both sides with coated aluminum and an exterior multilayered laminate jacketing material. Self-insulated, this outdoor duct requires no additional weatherproofing or insulation and eliminates the need for an insulation subcontractor. Q Duct sections are delivered preassembled to the jobsite, ready for installation by a certified contractor. The product installs easily in a fraction of the time of traditional duct.
“Exterior insulated sheet metal air ducts are susceptible to air and water leaks. As a result, more energy is needed to heat and cool a building and indoor air quality can be compromised,” says Jim Lubratt, vice president of AQC Industries. “Self-insulated with an interlocking air- and water-tight design, Q Duct provides optimum indoor air quality while significantly reducing energy consumption and operating costs.”
Q Duct is made of PalDuct phenolic core panels which meets UL 181, ASTM E84 flame and smoke standards. The interior and exterior layers resist mold, mildew, UV and extreme weather conditions. Q Duct does not emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or toxic gases and contains no microfibers, chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) or hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCF).
AQC Industries provides engineering and CAD services to meet specific application requirements. Q Duct is sold through a nationwide network of knowledgeable representatives and is manufactured using environmentally friendly practices. Virtually maintenance free, the product is lightweight and durable for quick and easy installation. Backed by an industry-leading warranty, Q Duct can contribute to LEED® points.

Rockland, MA-based Neutrasafe Corp. has added new products to their line of high-quality condensate neutralizers to fit almost any hi-efficiency, gas fired application. Improvements have also been made to all tube-type and tank-type neutralizers, enhancing ease of maintenance and/or performance.
Tube-type condensate neutralizers are now offered in four sizes from 220,000 to 2 million BTUH. Addition of the largest size now fills the gap between the company’s 1.2 million BTUH tube-type unit and the smallest tank-type neutralizer. Tank configurations are available with capacity guidelines of 4 million and 6 million BTUH.
The new patent pending tube-type neutralizers feature integral unions with O-ring seals that greatly simplify removal for service and recharging. Unclasping a lock ring on either end of the unit allows the main body to be removed without disturbing the drain line. Replacement O-rings are included with tube model recharge kits and all tube model neutralizers are available with a snap-in mounting clamp option. The new model was designed by a Master Plumber with more than 30 years in the industry and is completely manufactured in the US.
Along with Neutra-Safe’s upgraded and expanded product line, the neutralization media for all units has been improved. A mix of calcite and magnesium oxide pellets is now used for enhanced performance and is also available in recharge kits for any of Neutra-Safe’s condensate neutralizers.
