ductwork
This term refers to the collective network of conduits rather than a single pipe or channel. It is used primarily in technical, architectural, and construction contexts to describe the infrastructure of HVAC systems. Because it describes a system as a whole, it is treated as a mass noun.
As an uncountable noun, it cannot be pluralized or used with the indefinite article "a". To refer to a specific section or a single piece of the system, speakers must use partitive constructions such as "a section of ductwork" or "a piece of ductwork."
