Product Information

Full details

This 3-meter semi-rigid aluminium ducting from FlexibleDucting.com is designed for homeowners and HVAC professionals needing a reliable, fire-resistant solution for air ventilation systems. It excels at maintaining its shape when connected to round or oval ports, providing excellent durability against sagging or leaking. While it offers superior rigidity compared to fully flexible plastic hoses, it is best suited for applications where the path does not require extremely tight, complex turns.

FAQs

Can this ducting be used for dryer venting?

Yes, its fire-resistant aluminium construction is suitable for most residential dryer vent applications.

How do I cut this duct to a shorter length?

Use a pair of standard tin snips or heavy-duty wire cutters to trim the aluminium to your desired size.

Is this ducting airtight?

When installed correctly with proper clamps or tape, the ducting provides an effective, reliable, and airtight airflow path.

Does it come with mounting hardware?

No, the package includes the ducting only; you will need to purchase clips or tape separately.

Can I use this for high-temperature exhaust?

The aluminium material has high heat resistance, making it suitable for typical domestic appliance exhaust, but check your local building codes for specific temperature ratings.

Is the 150mm diameter standard?

Yes, 150mm is a standard size for many high-flow bathroom fans and kitchen range hoods.

Troubleshooting

Ducting is sagging in the middle of a long run

Install additional support brackets or hangers to keep the ducting horizontal and fully extended.

Difficulty fitting onto a circular port

Ensure the duct end is perfectly round by gently shaping it with your fingers before sliding it over the connector.

Air is leaking at the connection point

Apply high-quality metal foil tape around the junction to ensure an airtight seal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Retains shape effectively without collapsing
  • Fire-resistant aluminium composition
  • Compatible with both round and oval ports
  • Lightweight and easy to cut to length
  • Highly durable against leaks

Cons

  • Less flexible than soft plastic or foil hoses
  • Can be kinked if bent beyond its structural limits
  • Requires careful handling to avoid sharp edges
  • Not suitable for extremely tight radius turns

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Measure the required distance between your ventilation source and the outlet.
  2. Extend the duct gently to the required length; avoid over-stretching.
  3. Use metal foil tape or proper jubilee clips to secure the duct to the ports, ensuring an airtight seal.
  4. For maintenance, periodically inspect the duct for debris or dust accumulation. Because the material is aluminium, it can be wiped down with a soft, dry cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that could corrode the metal surface.
