Can this ducting be used for high-pressure systems?

It has a maximum pressure rating of 2500pa, which is suitable for many standard ventilation tasks, but may not be sufficient for very high-pressure industrial applications.

How do I clean the inside of the ducting?

For cleaning, inspect for debris and gently use compressed air if needed. Avoid abrasive materials. A damp cloth can be used for the exterior.

Troubleshooting

Reduced airflow or noisy operation

Check for kinks, bends, or obstructions within the ducting. Ensure connections are secure and airtight. Clean any accumulated dust or debris from the inside of the duct.

Ducting appears to be leaking air

Verify that the duct clamps are tightened securely at both ends. Inspect the ducting for any tears or punctures and repair or replace as necessary.

Ducting feels excessively hot or cold

Ensure the application's temperature is within the specified range of -30°C to 250°C. For extreme external temperatures, consider insulation if necessary, though the material itself is rated.

Difficulty connecting to fan or vent

Ensure you are using the correct diameter ducting (150mm/6"). Check that the fan or vent connection point is not damaged or deformed.
