Air Ducting

What is PU Ducting?

Excellent Abrasion-Resistants: PU Ducts are commonly used to convey powders, wood shavings, grit, dust, extract waste and to transport other abrasive transportation media. Food Graded: Many PU that use food-grade materials or ones that comply with the relevant EC and FDA directives are good for transporting edibles.

What are the uses of flexible ductings?

The flexible ducting connects the heating and cooling system ductwork to the air distribution. This is comprised of grills and registers that are mounted in a commercial building's ceiling or walls.

What is the best material for flexible ducting?

The best flexible air filter duct for commercial buildings in extreme climates are made from silicone, PVC, rubber, and stainless steel. They have an inbuilt resistance to heat and cooling that guarantees long-lasting productivity. Rubber and polyurethane are the best at abrasive resistance.

Is insulated ducting better?

Thermal insulation is a great way to minimize energy loss in ducts. Heat loss through the duct walls is an expected and inevitable drain on the system. Effective thermal insulation of the ductwork reduces this heat loss and helps to minimize energy usage.

Is aluminium ducting better than plastic ducting?

Aluminium ducting is normally used where there is lots of heat like on a cooker extractor unit, because it needs to be heat resistent. Plastic is usually used for showers as it does not get hot like a kitchen extractor.

Can you cut aluminium ducting?

You can use a duct knife or utility knife to cut the delicate aluminium and the insulation that you'll find inside the layers of the flexible duct. To secure flexible ducts to metal duct collars and to tighten j-clips around the duct you may need a screwdriver.

What is silicone air ducting made from?

Silicone coated duct hose suited for a variety of applications such as hot air and fumes. This flex silicone air ducting hose consists of double layer silicone coated fiberglass reinforced with a spring steel wire helix & external filament fiberglass cord. The silicone 2 ply hose allows the high temperature duct to be suited for high temp air handling applications that are ideal for plastic processing operations. Silicone coated duct high temperature hose is also a flexible air duct hose that has a narrow pitch for flexible venting. This double layer silicone duct hose pipe has a tight bending radius . The silicone coated duct hose can resistant to many oils, solvents, ozone, water, fungus.

Is silicone ducting designed to be used at high temperatures?

Ducting extraction hose is suitable for the extraction of high temperature air, fumes, and gases in the automotive, plastics, and printing industries, as well as general ventilation and heating systems.

What are the uses of corrugated PVC hose?

This hose is a lightweight PVC hose, reinforced with a rigid crush resistant white PVC helix. It is tough, flexible and extremely durable under normal operating conditions. The cross section is maintained even when highly flexed. Minimum frictional loss is achieved by the smooth bore. The corrugation in the hose gives it strength and flexibility, allowing you to turn tight corners without it kinking.

Can black PVC hoses be used in ponds?

Yes, the black colour makes this hose easily concealed and discourages algae growth on the inner walls. It is ideally suited to light duty applications for garden ponds & aquatic installations.

What is the difference between suction and discharge hose?

The main difference between suction and discharge hoses is that suction hoses do not collapse when in use and are reinforced.

What is a suction hose used for?

Suction Hose is a specific type of hose used in drafting operations when uses a vacuum to draw water from a portable water tank, pool, or another static water source. It is built to withstand vacuum, rather than pressure, abrasion, and heat.

What are suction hoses made of?

Suction hoses, sometimes called 'hard suction hoses', are a semi-rigid hose, often made from a flexible PVC that encases a rigid PVC helix. They operate under negative pressures, which means that a suction hose draws water from an unpressurised (or static) water source. This is known as a drafting operation.
