Houston, TX, April 14, 2026—RectorSeal, a leading manufacturer of high-quality HVAC/R and plumbing tools and accessories, has announced the strategic acquisition of Duckt-Strip, a differentiated, code‑compliant electrical cable solution purpose‑built for HVAC ductless systems.
Manufactured in the United States, Duckt‑Strip is differentiated from other ductless power and communication cables by its Rip-n-Strip™ technology, which integrates conductors into a single cable that meets UL standards and enables quick installation. Additionally, by insulating power and communication lines, it minimizes the risk of crosstalk affecting ductless unit performance. Duckt-Strip is National Electric Code (NEC) Article 725.136 compliant and UL listed for in-the-wall and through-the-wall installations.
“With our national distribution footprint and deep relationships across the HVAC industry, the acquisition of Duckt-Strip cable offers clear opportunities for RectorSeal to meaningfully accelerate and reinforce the company’s growth in established and emerging markets,” said Jeff Underwood, President of RectorSeal. “This action reflects our continued commitment to expand market reach and improve service levels while continuing to innovate for our HVAC distributors and customers.”
Since 1937, RectorSeal has offered products that have established a loyal following among contractors due to differentiated, proven product performance. Further, the company is often the first to tackle and solve challenges professional trade contractors face. RectorSeal is part of the Contractor Solutions segment of CSW Industrials.
