FAQs

What is the exact connection diameter of this hose?

The connection diameter is 125mm, which is equivalent to 5 inches.

What is the maximum length the hose can be extended to?

The hose can be extended to a maximum operational length of 6 meters (approximately 20 feet).

Is this hose suitable for high-temperature exhaust?

This hose is designed for standard HVAC systems. While it has insulation to reduce heat generation, it is not intended for extremely high-temperature industrial exhaust applications. Please check your specific HVAC unit's exhaust temperature ratings.

How does the insulation help?

The aluminium foil insulation lining significantly reduces noise output and heat generation during the appliance's operation, leading to a quieter and more efficient environment.

Can I cut this hose to a shorter length?

While the hose is flexible and can be managed in length, cutting it may compromise its structural integrity and insulation properties. It's best to use its flexible nature to manage excess length. Consult your HVAC unit's manual before making any modifications.

Will this hose improve my home's air quality?

Yes, once installed correctly, the hose helps protect against harmful pollutants such as mould, condensation, and germs that might otherwise enter the living space through ventilation.

What is the minimum retracted length?

The minimum retracted length is approximately 230mm.

Troubleshooting

Hose does not fit securely to the appliance.

Check the connection diameter. If it's a slight mismatch, consider using a universal hose adapter or a hose clamp for a tighter seal. Ensure the appliance port is clean.

Reduced airflow or noisy operation.

Inspect the hose for kinks, bends, or internal blockages (e.g., lint, debris). Ensure the hose is fully extended and not compressed. Clean the interior if necessary.

Hose appears to be leaking air.

Check all connection points for a secure fit. Ensure any clamps or seals are properly tightened. Inspect the hose material itself for any punctures or tears.

Hose is too long for the space.

The hose is designed to be flexible and can be coiled or gently bent. Avoid sharp kinks. For permanent installations, consider cutting to length if the manufacturer's instructions allow, though this may void certain warranties.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively reduces operational noise from HVAC units.
  • Improves air quality by protecting against pollutants.
  • Highly flexible for easy installation in tight spaces.
  • Durable construction with tear-resistant outer sleeve.
  • Extends up to 6 meters for versatile placement options.

Cons

  • Universal fit may require minor adaptation for some specific models.
  • Requires a secure connection to prevent air leaks.
  • The foil lining could be susceptible to damage if mishandled during installation.
  • Maximum length might be excessive for very small installations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This hose is designed for universal compatibility with HVAC systems featuring a standard 125mm (5-inch) exhaust outlet. Always verify your appliance's outlet diameter before purchase.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the HVAC unit is powered off and disconnected from the mains.
  2. Attach one end of the hose to the appliance's exhaust port. This may require a hose clamp or secure push-fit connection depending on the appliance design.
  3. Route the hose to the desired exhaust location (e.g., window vent, wall outlet).
  4. Secure the other end of the hose to the vent or outlet, again using appropriate fixings if necessary.
  5. Ensure the hose is not kinked or severely bent, which could restrict airflow.
  6. Reconnect the appliance to the mains and power it on.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect the hose for any signs of damage, tears, or blockages.
  • Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Ensure the interior remains free of debris to maintain optimal airflow and performance.
