Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this ducting be used for tumble dryers?

While it is fire-resistant, always check your local building codes and the dryer manufacturer's specifications regarding the use of aluminium ducting for lint-producing appliances.

Is this product suitable for outdoor use?

It is primarily designed for indoor ventilation systems. If used outdoors, ensure it is protected from direct impact, debris, and extreme weather.

How do I join two pieces of this ducting?

Use a 200mm rigid duct connector and secure both sides with high-quality metal jubilee clips and foil tape.

Can I cut this with regular scissors?

It is recommended to use tin snips or heavy-duty wire cutters to handle the structural wire within the ducting safely.

What is the maximum operating temperature?

Aluminium ducting typically handles standard ventilation temperatures well, but you should refer to the specific heat rating documentation provided on the packaging for exact limits.

Troubleshooting

Ducting is vibrating and making noise

Ensure the duct is fully stretched and properly secured at both ends with tight-fitting jubilee clips; ensure no sharp bends are causing air turbulence.

Airflow is significantly reduced

Check the duct for kinks or areas where it has been crushed. Ensure the duct run is as straight as possible to minimize pressure loss.

Small puncture or tear detected

Immediately seal the area with HVAC-grade aluminium foil tape, ensuring it is airtight to prevent air leakage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resists sagging and kinking compared to standard soft flex ducting
  • Lightweight design makes overhead installation easier
  • Durable aluminium construction is fire-resistant
  • Highly bendable for tight spaces

Cons

  • Thin material can be prone to puncturing if handled roughly
  • Fixed 3-meter length may require cutting or joining for specific distances
  • Can be noisy if not properly tensioned or secured

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, ensure the duct is fully extended before measuring the required length to avoid excessive slack that can cause vibration. Use high-quality foil tape or jubilee clips designed for 200mm ducts to secure the ends to your ventilation housing or wall vent. When cutting the duct to size, use a sharp pair of tin snips to ensure a clean edge without tearing the aluminium. To maintain the system, periodically inspect the duct for any accidental punctures or loose connections, and avoid crushing the ductwork under heavy objects or sharp building materials.
