Product Information

Full details

It provides a reliable 90-degree turn for domestic ventilation in bathrooms, kitchens, and utility rooms. While it is highly durable for general airflow, it is not suitable for high-temperature applications such as boiler flues or chimney systems.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this for a gas boiler flue?

No, this product is strictly for domestic ventilation airflow and is not rated for high-temperature combustion gases or boiler flues.

Is this elbow compatible with 4-inch ducting?

Yes, 100mm is the metric equivalent to standard 4-inch domestic ventilation ducting.

Does this product come with screws or mounting clips?

No, it is a push-fit component. It is typically held in place by the tension of the ducting or by using duct tape.

Can this be painted?

Yes, you can paint the exterior using a plastic-adhesion primer and paint, though it is usually hidden within ceilings or walls.

What is the maximum temperature this can handle?

This component is designed to operate safely in temperatures up to 40 degrees Celsius.

Troubleshooting

Connection feels loose

Apply high-quality duct tape around the seam to ensure a secure, airtight seal.

Noisy airflow

Ensure the duct is fully seated within the elbow and check for any sharp burrs on the pipe edges that could cause turbulence.

Difficulty inserting the duct

Check that the pipe is indeed 100mm diameter and not deformed; if the pipe is slightly out of shape, carefully round it back out before insertion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simple push-fit installation for quick setup
  • Lightweight yet rigid material prevents duct collapse
  • Smooth interior walls maintain optimal airflow velocity
  • Matches standard white ventilation color schemes
  • Ideal for moisture-prone areas like bathrooms and toilets

Cons

  • Not fire-rated for high-temperature exhaust or flues
  • Requires specific 100mm diameter ducting for compatibility
  • Rigid design does not allow for flexible angle adjustments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by ensuring the ducting ends are clean and free of debris. Simply slide the rigid 100mm pipe over or into the elbow fitting. For a permanent, airtight seal, it is recommended to use duct tape or a specialized PVC adhesive at the joints.

Compatibility Note: This component is compatible with all standard 100mm rigid ventilation systems. It is not compatible with flexible aluminum ducting unless a proper rigid-to-flexible adapter is used. To care for the unit, periodically wipe the exterior with a damp cloth; ensure that the interior remains clear of lint or dust buildup to prevent airflow restrictions.
