FAQs
Can this pipe be used for high-temperature applications?
Yes, it is rated for temperatures ranging from -30 to 250 degrees Celsius.
Is the 160mm measurement the inner or outer diameter?
It is specified as the inner diameter.
Does this pipe come with mounting hardware?
No, the product is provided as the flexible ducting only; you will need to source your own clamps or mounting hardware.
Can I cut this pipe to a custom length?
Yes, the pipe can be cut to fit your specific needs, though it is designed to be extendable as-is.
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
While durable, it is recommended to protect the pipe from direct, prolonged exposure to harsh UV rays and heavy rain to ensure maximum longevity.
Troubleshooting
Pipe seems shorter than 3 meters.
The pipe may have remained partially compressed. Gently stretch the tube to its full length, ensuring you are pulling from both ends equally.
Visible air leaks at the connection point.
Ensure a proper clamp is used and apply airtight HVAC tape around the seal to secure the connection to the ventilation port.
The pipe is sagging in the middle.
If the span is long, use additional supporting brackets or nylon straps to maintain a straight path and improve airflow efficiency.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Resistant to extreme temperature fluctuations
- Easy to compress and store in a compact footprint
- Flexible structure allows for easy routing around obstacles
- Generous 3-meter maximum reach for versatile applications
Cons
- Requires manual effort to extend fully
- Sensitive to puncture if handled roughly during installation
- Must be supported properly over long distances to prevent sagging
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward due to the pipe's inherent flexibility. To set it up, gently pull both ends to extend the pipe to your required length. Use standard duct clamps or high-quality adhesive tape to secure the connection points to your ventilation ports.
Compatibility: Ensure your existing vent fittings match the 160mm diameter to prevent air leaks or pressure drops.
Care Instructions:
- Avoid stretching the pipe beyond its 3-meter limit to prevent structural degradation.
- Keep the pipe clear of sharp edges that could pierce the surface.
- Regularly inspect for debris build-up if used in dusty or industrial environments.
