Kair Plastic Ducting Pipe - 150mm 6 Inch 350mm Short Length - Rigid Straight Duct Channel - White
Kair Plastic Ducting Pipe 150mm - 6 inch / 350mm Short Length -Rigid Straight Duct Channel. Featur...Kair Plastic Ducting Pipe 150mm - 6 inch / 350mm Short Length -Rigid Straight Duct Channel. Features 150mm inner and 153.60mm outer diameter. The ends of the pipe are female, designed to accept male ducting fittings such as bends and reducers which typically slip inside. To connect two female straight duct lengths, a male connector part like DUCVKC365 is required. Round ducting offers superior airflow performance compared to flexible or rectangular ducting, making it ideal for long duct runs and high-power extraction systems where minimizing pressure drop is crucial. Manufactured in the UK from high-quality white uPVC plastic, it is built for durability. It can withstand a maximum temperature of +60c and a minimum of -15c, and complies with Part F Building Regulations. Installation is straightforward: the lightweight duct pipe and fittings push-fit together. For a more permanent fixture, joints can be sealed using silicone sealant, solvent cement, or tape. The ducting can be cut to the desired size using a hacksaw, and offcuts can be saved for joining male fittings. Fixing clips (Part: DUCVKC442C) are available for mounting ductwork to walls and ceilings. For ducts in cold areas, pre-insulated ducting is recommended to prevent condensation.
