Thermally insulated flexible ducting designed to improve efficiency by reducing heat loss and mini...Thermally insulated flexible ducting designed to improve efficiency by reducing heat loss and minimising condensation in ventilation systems. Supplied in a standard 10 metre length and compressed for easier transportation, this product is ideal for heating, cooling, extraction, and general air distribution. The flexible construction allows for quick and straightforward installation on both round and oval ducting without the need for specialist tools. Successfully tested for fire resistance, this ducting does not emit toxic gases in the event of a fire, making it suitable for a wide range of domestic and commercial applications, including extractor fans, HVAC systems, and loft or bathroom ventilation.
The FlexibleDucting.com 102mm Insulated Flexible Ducting is designed for HVAC installers and DIY enthusiasts looking to enhance energy efficiency in residential or commercial ventilation systems. This 10-meter ducting significantly reduces heat loss and minimizes internal condensation, ensuring optimal airflow for heating, cooling, and extraction needs. While the flexible design simplifies installation on round or oval ports, users should be mindful that the insulation layer must be handled with care to maintain its thermal integrity during tight-bend routing.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can I use this ducting for tumble dryer venting?
While it is flexible and insulated, you should check your local building codes regarding dryer venting specifically, as dryer lint accumulation can be a fire hazard.
Is the 10-meter length one continuous piece?
Yes, it is supplied as a single 10-meter length that is compressed for transport.
What tools do I need for installation?
A sharp utility knife to cut the outer casing and wire cutters to trim the internal support coil are generally sufficient.
Will this fit an oval connector?
Yes, the flexible nature of the ducting allows it to conform to both round and oval port shapes.
Does it emit toxic fumes?
No, the material is tested for fire resistance and is engineered not to emit toxic gases in the event of a fire.
Can I install this in a cold loft?
Yes, the thermal insulation is specifically designed to prevent condensation in unheated spaces like lofts.
Troubleshooting
Visible condensation on the outside of the duct
Ensure the insulation layer is fully intact and covers the entirety of the duct length without gaps.
Airflow seems restricted
Check for excessive kinks or sharp bends in the ducting; straighten the path to improve air transit.
Duct pulling away from the connector
Verify that the mechanical clamp is tightened properly and that the duct is supported by straps to remove weight from the connection point.
Pros and Cons
Pros
High thermal efficiency minimizes energy waste
Fire-resistant material enhances building safety
Highly flexible for complex routing requirements
Compatible with both round and oval ducts
Easy to cut and install without special tools
Cons
Insulation layer can be bulky in extremely tight spaces
Requires proper sealing to ensure maximum efficiency
Flexible structure may be prone to crushing if not supported correctly
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Measure the distance between your termination points and cut the ducting to size using a utility knife and wire cutters for the internal support coil.
Connection: Slide the inner duct over your connector and secure it with a mechanical clamp or high-quality duct tape. Ensure the insulation layer is pulled back to cover the connection point completely for the best thermal performance.
Routing: Avoid sharp 90-degree bends where possible to maintain maximum airflow. Use duct supports or straps if the run is long to prevent sagging.
Maintenance: Periodically inspect for tears in the outer protective layer. Keep the ducting free from heavy external weight or sharp objects that could compress the insulation.
