@Jemimapuddleduck No: "Duck" is the brand, "duct" the general type - but using the former is easier to say and slightly more mellifluous!
Makes me wonder if Shur Tech Brands chose the avian name for that reason......
[There are similarly tongue-trapping, consonant meetings in Welsh, for those of us who don't speak the language but politely try pronouncing Welsh place-names correctly!]

@Jemimapuddleduck I don't live on either side of the pond. I'm across the North Sea, a puddle in comparison to the pond. :-)

Of course. Duck is the usual pronunciation in the US, and probably elsewhere unless the speaker is making a special effort. The two Ts together make for awkward speech.

Yes.
English speakers tend to run their words together, rather than speak them with distinct breaks. Repeated consonants like that--end of one word + same consonant @ beginning of next word--tend to get combined. Esp. 't'.
