Flexible Corrugated Aluminium Construction
The Vent Systems ducting features a corrugated aluminium structure that combines flexibility with a lightweight metal design.
The ribbed construction allows the duct to extend, compress and bend, making it useful for connecting ventilation equipment where rigid ducting would be difficult to position.
Its silver aluminium surface is suitable for a variety of heating, cooling and extraction installations.
For the best airflow performance, avoid unnecessary bends, sharp kinks and excessive compression once installed.
Extendable from 56cm to 3 Metres
The hose is supplied in a compact, compressed form measuring approximately 56cm in length.
It can be carefully extended to a maximum length of approximately 3 metres, allowing the installer to adapt the ducting to the distance between suitable ventilation connections.
The flexible material makes it possible to adjust the routing during installation, while the compressed format simplifies handling and storage.
Avoid forcing the duct beyond its maximum length, as excessive stretching may weaken or damage the aluminium structure.
Heat Resistant for Ventilation Applications
The aluminium ducting has a stated temperature resistance range of -30°C to +250°C.
This makes the material suitable for a variety of compatible heating, cooling and warm-air extraction applications.
The temperature rating applies to the ducting material and does not automatically establish suitability for every appliance, flue or exhaust arrangement.
Always confirm that the connected equipment permits this type of flexible aluminium ducting before installation.
Suitable for Extractor Fan Connections
The 125mm diameter makes this duct useful for connecting compatible extractor fans to suitable ventilation outlets.
Potential applications include bathroom extraction, toilet ventilation, kitchen air extraction and general indoor air movement systems.
The flexible design can help route ducting through suitable ceiling spaces, cupboards or other installation areas, provided the arrangement meets applicable ventilation requirements.
Air Conditioning and HVAC Applications
The Vent Systems flexible aluminium duct can be used in suitable heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems where a 125mm round duct connection is required.
Its corrugated construction allows it to connect components that are not positioned directly in line with one another.
For efficient operation, choose the shortest suitable route and avoid tight bends that may restrict airflow.
Check the fan capacity, duct length and pressure requirements of the connected equipment before installation.
Tumble Dryer Ventilation
The duct may be used with compatible vented tumble dryers where the appliance permits flexible aluminium ventilation ducting.
Its round profile can connect to suitable dryer outlets and external ventilation components using correctly sized fittings.
For dryer applications, follow the appliance instructions regarding maximum duct length, permissible bends, vent materials and regular lint removal.
Do not use the duct for a dryer where the appliance instructions require a different ventilation system.

Easy Cutting and Installation
The flexible aluminium ducting can be trimmed to the required length using suitable metal-cutting tools.
Its round profile is designed to connect to compatible 125mm ducting fittings, fan outlets and ventilation components.
For a secure connection, appropriate clamps or aluminium duct sealing tape can be used, depending on the requirements of the installation.
Check that the duct is fully supported, properly connected and free from damage before operating the ventilation equipment.
