Full details
The FANTRONIX 100 mm T-piece connector is an essential component for HVAC installers and DIY enthusiasts looking to split a 4-inch ducting run at a 90-degree angle. It is designed to provide efficient airflow redirection for ventilation systems, such as cooker hoods or bathroom extraction fans. While it offers excellent durability and airflow efficiency, it is important to note that it requires a secure push-fit connection and potential sealant or tape for permanent airtight installations.

FAQs
Can this be used with flexible ducting?
Yes, it is fully compatible with standard 100 mm flexible hoses as well as rigid PVC piping.
Is this suitable for outdoor use?
It is made of UV-protected PVC, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations exposed to sunlight.
Does this connector fit over or inside the pipe?
This connector features a male spigot, meaning it is designed to fit inside the ducting pipe.
Will this work for a kitchen cooker hood?
Yes, provided the cooker hood ducting is a standard 100 mm diameter. Ensure the connection is securely taped.
Is it compliant with building regulations?

Troubleshooting
Connection feels loose or vibrates
Use duct tape or appropriate mechanical clamps to secure the pipe onto the spigot for a vibration-free fit.
Airflow is escaping from the joint
Apply a high-quality sealant or ventilation-rated foil tape around the connection point to ensure an airtight seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply align the male spigot with your existing 100 mm round ducting and push firmly until the connection is flush. For optimal performance, it is recommended to apply a wrap of quality duct tape around the joints to prevent air leaks and potential moisture escape.
Compatibility is limited to 100 mm (4-inch) systems. Ensure you are not mixing pipe diameters, as this will lead to pressure imbalances. For maintenance, periodically check the joints during your annual system inspection to ensure that temperature fluctuations haven't caused the plastic to shift. If cleaning is required, the UV-protected PVC can be wiped down with a damp cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could damage the surface finish.
