The U-GO Carbon Filter 6" 150mm x 600mm is a premium activated carbon air filter designed around carefully selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon, combining effective odour adsorption with high airflow and low restriction.
Activated carbon is a natural material, so its quality, particle characteristics and adsorption performance can vary between production batches. U-GO takes a selective approach, stating that only the premium 20% of carbon produced is purchased for use within its carbon filters.
The carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected to provide the particle characteristics required for effective filtration and airflow. U-GO specifies Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon, rejecting material that is excessively fine, dusty or fails its required air-stream testing.
With a 150mm / 6" connection and 600mm filter body, this model provides substantial carbon filtration capacity while integrating directly into appropriately sized 150mm extraction systems.
Why choose the U-GO 6" Carbon Filter?
- Premium carbon selection - U-GO states that only the top 20% of available carbon is selected for its filters.
- Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon - selected particle characteristics designed to balance filtration performance and airflow.
- Independently batch tested - carbon quality is assessed before being accepted for use.
- De-dusted carbon - selected and processed to minimise excessive fine carbon dust.
- Minimum 20% butane adsorption test requirement - carbon failing U-GO's stated air-stream testing standard is rejected.
- Low-restriction design - engineered to allow strong airflow through the carbon bed.
- 6" / 150mm connection - integrates with compatible 150mm fans, ducting and ventilation fittings.
- 600mm filter body - substantial filtration capacity for medium to higher-airflow systems.
- Effective odour adsorption - activated carbon captures suitable gaseous odour compounds from extracted air.
- Designed for filtered extraction - pairs with an appropriately specified extraction fan.
Premium selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon
The activated carbon inside a filter has a major influence on both odour adsorption and airflow resistance. Natural carbon can vary significantly between batches, which is why U-GO places particular emphasis on carbon selection.
U-GO states that it selects only the premium 20% of carbon produced. The carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected before being used within the finished filter.
The filter uses Pro Grade 4/8 carbon. Particle size is important because the carbon bed must provide extensive adsorptive surface area without becoming unnecessarily restrictive to airflow.
Material that is too fine or excessively dusty can increase resistance. U-GO's selected carbon grade is designed to achieve an effective balance between carbon filtration and the free movement of air through the filter.
Independently batch tested carbon
Rather than assuming every batch of activated carbon has identical characteristics, U-GO states that its carbon is independently batch tested before selection.
The process assesses the carbon for the characteristics required for effective air filtration, with U-GO specifying a minimum 20% butane adsorption requirement.
Carbon that is too small, excessively dusty or does not meet the required air-stream testing standard is rejected.
This selective approach is intended to provide more consistent filtration and airflow performance between filters.
How the U-GO Carbon Filter removes odours
Activated carbon is extremely porous. Its microscopic internal pore structure creates an enormous surface area relative to the physical volume of carbon inside the filter.
As odour-bearing air passes through the carbon bed, suitable gaseous compounds adhere to the carbon surface through a process known as adsorption.
Carbon quality, contact time, airflow and contaminant concentration all influence how effectively this process works.
The purpose of the U-GO filter is therefore different from simply trapping visible dust or particles. Its primary role is removing suitable gaseous odour compounds from the extraction airstream.
Designed for high airflow with low restriction
A carbon filter inevitably creates some resistance because the extraction fan must draw air through a packed carbon bed.
U-GO's use of selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon is intended to provide the particle characteristics required for effective adsorption without introducing unnecessary restriction.
This is important because an extraction fan's maximum airflow figure does not represent the airflow it will necessarily deliver once connected to a carbon filter and ductwork.
Carbon filters, duct length, bends, silencers, reducers and other ventilation components all add resistance. A low-restriction filter helps preserve more of the fan's available airflow within the completed system.
150mm / 6" connection with 600mm filter body
This U-GO Carbon Filter has a nominal 150mm / 6" connection and a 600mm-long filter body.
Using matching 150mm ducting, fans and ventilation fittings wherever practical helps maintain a consistent airflow path and avoids unnecessary restrictions.
Where a reduction in duct diameter is unavoidable, remember that smaller ducting increases air velocity and resistance and may reduce the airflow delivered by the complete ventilation system.
Installing the U-GO 150mm Carbon Filter
In a typical filtered extraction system, environmental air is drawn through the carbon filter before entering the extraction fan. The filtered air then continues through the exhaust ductwork.
Fan and filter selection should be considered together. The extraction fan needs sufficient pressure capability to overcome resistance from the carbon filter and duct system while maintaining the required ventilation rate.
- Support the carbon filter securely and independently.
- Use 150mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
- Match the extraction fan appropriately to the filter and required airflow.
- Keep duct runs short and direct where possible.
- Minimise unnecessary tight bends and reductions.
- Secure connections to prevent untreated air bypassing the filter.
- Keep the filter's air-entry surface unobstructed.
Carbon filter life & replacement
Activated carbon does not last indefinitely. As the filter processes contaminated air, compounds progressively occupy available adsorption sites within the carbon.
U-GO's selected carbon and low-restriction design are intended to provide effective filtration and a longer expected operating life, but actual service life depends heavily on how and where the filter is used.
Operating hours, airflow, environmental conditions and the concentration of odour compounds all influence how quickly the activated carbon becomes saturated.
If unwanted odours begin passing through the extraction system despite suitable airflow and secure connections, the carbon may be approaching the end of its effective adsorption capacity.

What carbon does the U-GO filter use?
U-GO specifies selected Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon for its carbon filter range.
What does Pro Grade 4/8 carbon mean?
It identifies the selected particle grade used inside the filter. Particle characteristics influence both adsorption performance and resistance to airflow through the carbon bed.
Why does U-GO select only the premium carbon?
Activated carbon is a natural material and quality varies between batches. U-GO states that it selects only the premium 20% of carbon produced for use within its filters.
Is the activated carbon batch tested?
Yes. U-GO states that its carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected before use.
What is the 20% butane adsorption specification?
U-GO specifies a minimum 20% butane adsorption requirement as part of its carbon quality testing, with material that fails the required standard rejected.
Why does activated carbon particle size matter?
Particle size affects the way air travels through the carbon bed. U-GO selects Pro Grade 4/8 carbon to balance effective adsorption with good airflow.
Does U-GO de-dust its activated carbon?
Yes. De-dusting is part of U-GO's stated carbon preparation and selection process.
What size ducting should I use?
The filter has a nominal 150mm / 6" connection, so matching 150mm ducting and fittings should be used wherever practical.
Can I use this filter with a 150mm extraction fan?
Yes. It is designed for integration into a 150mm ventilation system. Fan performance should also be appropriately matched to the filter and required system airflow.
Will the carbon filter reduce extraction fan airflow?
Yes. All carbon filters create some resistance. U-GO's carbon selection and filter design place particular emphasis on maintaining good airflow while providing effective filtration.
Can I use a duct reducer with this filter?
Yes, where required, but reducing duct diameter increases airflow resistance and can reduce the overall performance of the ventilation system.
How does activated carbon remove unwanted odours?
Odour-bearing air passes through the activated carbon bed, where suitable gaseous compounds adsorb onto the enormous internal surface area of the carbon.
How long does a U-GO Carbon Filter last?
Service life varies according to operating hours, airflow, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions, so there is no single replacement interval suitable for every installation.
How do I know when the carbon filter needs replacing?
If unwanted odours begin passing through despite correct airflow and secure ventilation connections, the activated carbon may be approaching the end of its effective adsorption capacity.
