The Krystal 8" Carbon Filter 200mm x 600mm is a high-capacity 1125m³/h air filter filled with 100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon for effective odour control in filtered extraction systems.
Designed for higher-airflow ventilation applications, this model combines a 200mm / 8" connection, 600mm filter body and 1125m³/h airflow rating.
Krystal Carbon Filters use 100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon. The highly porous carbon provides an enormous internal surface area onto which unwanted gaseous odour compounds can adsorb as extracted air passes through the filter.
The filter is constructed around a lightweight aluminium housing with an open-area mesh outer surface. This provides a large air-entry area while helping keep the complete filter manageable for suspended ventilation installations.

- 1125m³/h airflow rating - designed for substantial filtered extraction systems.
- 8" / 200mm connection - suitable for compatible high-airflow fans and 200mm ventilation systems.
- 600mm filter body - provides substantial carbon filtration capacity.
- 100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon - high-quality activated carbon selected for air filtration.
- Effective odour adsorption - captures unwanted gaseous odour compounds from extracted air.
- Lightweight aluminium housing - robust construction while helping reduce installation weight.
- Open-area mesh - provides a large surface through which air can enter the carbon filter.
- High-capacity filtration - suited to larger controlled horticultural environments.
- Standard 200mm connection - straightforward integration with compatible fans, ducting and fittings.
100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon
Krystal specifies 100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon for this carbon filter range.
Activated carbon contains an extremely porous internal structure. These microscopic pores create a very large surface area capable of attracting and retaining suitable gaseous compounds from the air.
As contaminated air is drawn through the filter, odour-causing compounds adhere to the surface of the RC412 carbon through adsorption. The treated air then continues through the extraction system.
This process makes activated carbon particularly effective for treating odour-bearing extraction air and is fundamentally different from ordinary dust or particulate filtration.
1125m³/h airflow capacity
The Krystal 200mm x 600mm Carbon Filter is rated at 1125 cubic metres per hour.
The extraction fan needs enough performance to overcome resistance from the carbon filter, ducting and other ventilation components while remaining appropriately matched to the filter's airflow capacity.
Carbon filters naturally introduce resistance, so actual installed fan airflow will normally be lower than the fan's unrestricted maximum rating.
At the same time, excessive airflow can reduce contact time between the air and activated carbon. Correctly matching the fan and filter therefore supports both ventilation performance and effective odour adsorption.
200mm connection with 600mm filter body
The filter uses a 200mm / 8" nominal connection, allowing it to integrate with appropriately sized fans, ducting and fittings.
Keeping the ventilation system at the full 200mm diameter wherever practical helps minimise unnecessary resistance and excessive air velocity.
Its 600mm body provides a substantial carbon bed while retaining practical dimensions for installation in larger controlled environments.
Installing the Krystal 8" Carbon Filter
In a typical filtered extraction system, environmental air is drawn through the outer mesh and activated carbon bed before reaching the extraction fan.
Connections should be secure and reasonably airtight. Air entering the system downstream of the carbon filter can bypass filtration and reduce overall odour-control performance.
- Support the filter securely and independently.
- Use 200mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
- Pair with a fan appropriate for the 1125m³/h filter rating.
- Keep duct runs short and direct where possible.
- Avoid unnecessary tight bends and reductions.
- Secure all connections to minimise untreated air bypass.
- Keep the open-area mesh unobstructed.
Maintaining effective RC412 carbon filtration
Activated carbon has a finite adsorption capacity. As air is processed, unwanted compounds progressively occupy available adsorption sites within the carbon.
Filter life varies according to operating hours, airflow, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions.
Keeping excessive dust away from the filter and maintaining appropriate airflow helps preserve effective operation.
If unwanted odours begin passing through despite correct ventilation operation and secure connections, the carbon filter may be approaching the end of its useful service life.

Krystal 8" 200mm x 600mm Carbon Filter FAQs
What is the airflow rating?
The Krystal 200mm x 600mm Carbon Filter is rated at 1125m³/h. What carbon does this filter use?
It is produced using 100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon. Why is RC412 activated carbon used for air filtration?
Its highly porous structure provides a very large internal surface area onto which suitable gaseous odour compounds can adsorb as air passes through the carbon bed. What size ducting should I use?
The filter has a nominal 200mm / 8" connection, so matching 200mm ducting and fittings should be used wherever practical. What extraction fan should I use?
Select a compatible fan according to the filter's 1125m³/h rating, required environmental airflow and resistance from the complete ventilation system. Will the carbon filter reduce fan airflow?
Yes. The carbon bed creates resistance, so actual installed fan airflow will normally be lower than the fan's unrestricted maximum airflow. Can I use a variable-speed fan?
Yes. A suitable variable-speed fan allows airflow to be adjusted to match the requirements of the filter and ventilation system. Should the filter be installed before the fan?
A common configuration draws air through the carbon filter first and then through the extraction fan so the air is treated before entering the exhaust ductwork. Is the Krystal carbon filter made with an aluminium housing?
Yes. Krystal specifies a lightweight aluminium housing for the range. What does the open-area mesh do?
It provides a large surface through which air can enter the cylindrical filter before passing through the activated carbon bed. Can I reduce this filter to smaller ducting?
A reducer can be used where necessary, but reducing duct diameter increases airflow resistance and can reduce overall ventilation performance. How long does the RC412 carbon last?
Service life depends on operating hours, airflow, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions, so an exact universal lifespan cannot be given. How do I know when the filter needs replacing?
If unwanted odours begin passing through despite correct airflow and secure ventilation connections, the activated carbon may be reaching the end of its effective adsorption capacity. Is this suitable for a larger filtered extraction system?
Yes. Its 200mm connection, 600mm filter body and 1125m³/h airflow rating make it suitable for higher-capacity controlled horticultural extraction systems.

- Replaceable filtration component - replace the filter once the activated carbon eventually reaches the end of its effective service life.
100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon
The quality of the activated carbon is central to the performance of an odour-control filter. Krystal uses 100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon throughout this filter range.
Activated carbon is processed to create an extremely porous internal structure. These microscopic pores give the carbon an exceptionally large internal surface area relative to its physical size.
As extracted air passes through the carbon bed, suitable gaseous odour compounds adhere to the carbon surface through a process known as adsorption.
This makes activated carbon filtration fundamentally different from ordinary particulate filtration. Its primary purpose here is the removal of unwanted gaseous odour compounds from the extraction airstream.
500m³/h airflow capacity
This Krystal Carbon Filter is rated at 500 cubic metres per hour.
Fan and filter sizing should always be considered together. The carbon bed creates resistance, so a fan will not normally deliver its unrestricted maximum airflow once connected to the filter and ductwork.
Duct length, bends, reducers and other ventilation components add further resistance. Equally, forcing excessive airflow through a carbon filter can reduce the contact time between contaminated air and the activated carbon.
Correctly matching the fan, filter and ductwork helps provide effective ventilation while maintaining suitable conditions for carbon filtration.
Installing the Krystal 125mm Carbon Filter
A typical extraction arrangement draws air through the carbon filter before it reaches the extraction fan. The treated air then passes through the fan and into the exhaust ductwork.
- Support the filter securely and independently.
- Use 125mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
- Pair with a fan appropriate for the 500m³/h filter rating.
- Keep duct runs short and direct where possible.
- Avoid unnecessary tight bends and reducers.
- Keep connections secure to minimise untreated air bypass.
- Keep the exposed mesh surface unobstructed.
Carbon filter life & replacement
Activated carbon has a finite adsorption capacity. During operation, odour compounds gradually occupy the available adsorption sites within the RC412 carbon.
Filter life depends on operating hours, airflow, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions, so there is no single replacement interval suitable for every installation.
If unwanted odours begin passing through despite correct airflow and secure ventilation connections, the carbon may be approaching the end of its effective service life.

Yes. A suitable variable-speed fan allows airflow to be adjusted to the requirements of the filter and ventilation system. Should the carbon filter go before the extraction fan?
A common configuration draws air through the carbon filter first and then through the extraction fan, treating the air before it enters the exhaust ductwork. Why is fan and filter matching important?
The fan must provide enough airflow after system resistance is considered without forcing air through the carbon filter unnecessarily quickly. Is the housing aluminium?
Yes. Krystal specifies a lightweight aluminium housing for its carbon filter range. What is the purpose of the open-area mesh?
The mesh provides a large open surface through which air can enter the cylindrical carbon filter before passing through the activated carbon bed. How long will the carbon filter last?
Service life varies according to airflow, operating hours, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions, so there is no single lifespan applicable to every installation. How do I know when it needs replacing?
If unwanted odours begin passing through despite suitable airflow and secure connections, the activated carbon may be reaching the end of its useful adsorption capacity.

Designed for larger ventilation systems, this model combines a 250mm / 10" connection, 750mm filter body and 1750m³/h airflow rating. Its increased filter size provides the airflow capacity required for powerful extraction systems while maintaining effective contact between the extracted air and activated carbon.
Krystal uses 100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon within the filter. The highly porous carbon provides an enormous internal surface area onto which odour-causing gaseous compounds can adsorb as air passes through the carbon bed.
A lightweight aluminium housing makes the filter easier to support than unnecessarily heavy designs, while the open-area mesh allows air to enter across the cylindrical filter surface before passing through the activated carbon.
Why choose the Krystal 10" Carbon Filter?
- 1750m³/h airflow rating - designed for high-capacity filtered extraction systems.
- 10" / 250mm connection - suitable for larger ventilation systems using 250mm fans and ducting.

100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon
The quality and quantity of activated carbon are central to the performance of an odour-control filter. Krystal specifies 100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon for its carbon filter range.
Activated carbon is processed to create an extremely porous internal structure. Although the carbon itself occupies a relatively compact volume, those microscopic pores create a very large internal surface area.
As contaminated air passes through the carbon bed, suitable gaseous compounds adhere to this surface through a process known as adsorption. The treated air then continues through the extraction system.
Carbon filtration is therefore fundamentally different from a simple particulate filter. Its principal purpose in this application is removing unwanted odour compounds from the extracted airstream.
1750m³/h airflow capacity
This 250mm x 750mm Krystal Carbon Filter is rated at 1750 cubic metres per hour, positioning it as a high-capacity option for larger ventilation systems.
The airflow rating of the filter and the performance of the extraction fan should be considered together. A carbon filter creates resistance, meaning a fan will not normally deliver its unrestricted maximum airflow once connected to the filter and ductwork.
Duct length, bends, silencers, reducers and other ventilation components add further resistance.
Equally, forcing substantially more air through a carbon filter than it is designed to handle can reduce contact time with the carbon bed. Correct fan and filter matching is therefore important for both ventilation and odour-control performance.
250mm connection with 750mm filter body
The filter has a nominal 250mm / 10" connection for integration with appropriately sized ventilation equipment.
Keeping the extraction system at 250mm wherever practical helps minimise unnecessary resistance. Immediately reducing a high-airflow system into substantially smaller ducting increases air velocity and static pressure and can reduce overall performance.
At 750mm long, this model provides greater carbon capacity and airflow capability than shorter 250mm filters while remaining more compact than the 1000mm and 1200mm versions available within the Krystal range.
Installing the Krystal carbon filter
A typical filtered extraction system draws environmental air through the outer surface of the carbon filter. The air passes through the activated carbon before travelling through the fan and into the exhaust ducting.
Connections between the filter, fan and ducting should be secure and reasonably airtight. Untreated air leaking into the system after the carbon filter can bypass filtration and reduce overall odour-control performance.
- Support the 250mm carbon filter securely and independently.
- Use appropriately sized 250mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
- Pair with an extraction fan suitable for the filter's 1750m³/h airflow rating.
- Keep duct runs as short and direct as the installation allows.
- Avoid unnecessary tight bends and reductions.
- Secure connections to minimise untreated air bypass.
- Keep the exposed filter surface unobstructed.
Matching your extraction fan & carbon filter
Fan diameter alone does not determine whether a fan and carbon filter are correctly matched. The airflow requirements of both components also need to be considered.
This Krystal filter is rated at 1750m³/h. The extraction fan should provide enough performance to achieve the required air exchange after resistance from the filter, ducting and other components has been taken into account.
Where a higher-capacity variable-speed fan is used, airflow can be adjusted to suit the filter and environmental requirement rather than continuously operating the fan at maximum output.
Correct sizing also helps prevent excessive air velocity through the carbon bed and can reduce unnecessary ventilation noise.
Maintaining effective odour filtration
Activated carbon has a finite adsorption capacity. As the filter operates, odour compounds progressively occupy available adsorption sites within the carbon.
The useful life of the filter will vary according to the amount of air processed, contaminant concentration, operating hours and environmental conditions.
Keeping excessive dust away from the filter and maintaining suitable airflow can help preserve effective operation.
If unwanted odours begin passing through the extraction system despite correct airflow and secure connections, the activated carbon may be approaching the end of its effective service life and the filter should be considered for replacement.

The Krystal 250mm x 750mm Carbon Filter is rated at 1750m³/h. What carbon is used in Krystal carbon filters?
Krystal specifies 100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon for this carbon filter range. What does RC412 activated carbon do?
The activated carbon provides a very large internal surface area onto which suitable gaseous odour compounds can adsorb as extracted air passes through the filter. What size ducting should I use?
This filter has a nominal 250mm / 10" connection, so matching 250mm ducting and fittings should be used wherever practical. What size extraction fan should I use?
Select a compatible fan according to the filter's 1750m³/h airflow rating, required environmental airflow and the resistance of the complete ventilation system. Will the carbon filter reduce the airflow from my fan?
Yes. The carbon bed creates resistance, so actual installed airflow will normally be lower than the fan's unrestricted maximum airflow rating. Can I use a variable-speed fan with this filter?
Yes. A suitable variable-speed fan can be particularly useful because its airflow can be adjusted to match the filter and the actual ventilation requirement. Should the filter be installed before the extraction fan?
A common configuration draws air through the carbon filter before it reaches the fan. This treats the air before it enters the exhaust ductwork. Can this 250mm filter be reduced to smaller ducting?
Reducers can be used where necessary, but reducing duct diameter increases resistance and air velocity. Keeping the system at 250mm wherever practical generally provides a more efficient airflow path. Why is the 750mm filter longer than some 250mm carbon filters?
A larger filter body provides additional filtration capacity and allows this model to support its 1750m³/h rated airflow while maintaining a substantial activated carbon bed. Does a carbon filter remove dust as well as odours?
The primary purpose of this filter is gaseous odour adsorption. Excessive dust should be kept away from the filter because accumulated particulate contamination can restrict airflow. How long will the Krystal carbon filter last?
Service life varies with 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 to pass through despite suitable airflow, secure connections and correct ventilation operation, the activated carbon may be approaching the end of its useful adsorption capacity. Is this suitable for a high-capacity horticultural extraction system?
Yes. The combination of a 250mm connection, 750mm filter body and 1750m³/h airflow rating makes this model suitable for larger controlled horticultural environments requiring high-capacity filtered extraction.

The U-GO Carbon Filter 8" 200mm x 600mm is a premium activated carbon air filter engineered around carefully selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon, with an emphasis on high airflow, low restriction and dependable odour filtration.
U-GO takes a particularly selective approach to the carbon used inside its filters. Because activated carbon is a natural material and its quality can vary between production batches, U-GO states that it selects only the premium 20% of the carbon produced for use within its filtration range.
The carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected to provide the particle characteristics required for effective airflow. U-GO uses Pro Grade 4/8 carbon, with material that fails its quality and air-stream testing rejected rather than used within the filter.
The result is a 200mm carbon filter designed to combine effective odour adsorption with reduced airflow restriction, helping a correctly matched extraction fan maintain useful ventilation performance once the filter is installed.
Why choose the U-GO 8" Carbon Filter?
- Premium carbon selection - U-GO states that only the top 20% of carbon produced is selected for its filters.
- Pro Grade 4/8 carbon - selected particle size designed to balance filtration performance and airflow.
- Independently batch tested - carbon quality is checked before being accepted for use.
- De-dusted carbon - selected and processed to minimise excessive carbon dust.
- Minimum 20% butane adsorption test requirement - carbon failing U-GO's specified air-stream quality testing is rejected.
- Low-restriction design - engineered to maintain strong airflow through the filter.
- 200mm / 8" connection - integrates with compatible fans, ducting and ventilation fittings.
- 600mm filter body - provides substantial filtration capacity in a manageable format.
- Designed for odour filtration - activated carbon adsorbs suitable gaseous odour compounds from extracted air.
- Built for filtered extraction - suitable for pairing with an appropriately specified 200mm extraction fan.
Premium selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon
Not all activated carbon performs identically. Carbon is a natural material, so particle size, dust content and adsorption performance can vary between batches.
U-GO's approach is to grade the carbon before it reaches the finished filter. The brand states that it purchases only the premium 20% of available carbon, with the material independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected before use.
The filters use Pro Grade 4/8 carbon. Selecting a suitable carbon particle size is important because the carbon bed needs to provide a large adsorptive surface without creating excessive resistance to airflow.
Carbon that is too fine or excessively dusty can increase resistance. U-GO's carbon specification is intended to provide a balance between effective adsorption and the free movement of air through the filter.
Batch tested for carbon quality
U-GO states that its carbon is independently batch tested rather than assuming every batch of natural activated carbon will perform to the same standard.
The selection process includes assessment of carbon particle characteristics and air-stream performance, with a stated minimum 20% butane adsorption requirement.
Material that is too small, excessively dusty or does not meet the required testing standard is rejected rather than being used in the finished U-GO filter.
This quality-control approach is intended to provide more consistent filtration performance from one production batch to another.
How activated carbon removes odours
Activated carbon contains a huge network of microscopic pores. These pores give the carbon an extremely large internal surface area relative to its physical size.
As odour-bearing air passes through the carbon bed, suitable gaseous compounds adhere to the carbon surface through a process known as adsorption.
The effectiveness of the process depends on carbon quality, the amount of carbon available, airflow, contact time and the concentration of compounds being treated.
Carbon filtration is therefore different from simply trapping visible dust. Its main role is treating gaseous odour compounds carried within the extraction airstream.
Designed for high airflow with low restriction
Every carbon filter introduces some resistance because the air must travel through a bed of activated carbon before reaching the extraction fan.
U-GO places particular emphasis on reducing unnecessary restriction. Its selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon is intended to provide the particle characteristics required for good airflow without compromising the filter's ability to adsorb odour compounds.
This matters because the airflow quoted for an extraction fan is generally its maximum performance under defined conditions. Once a carbon filter, ducting, bends and other components are added, the actual airflow delivered by the system will be lower.
A lower-restriction filter helps preserve more of the fan's available airflow while still providing the carbon bed required for odour filtration.
200mm / 8" connection with 600mm body
This U-GO Carbon Filter has a nominal 200mm / 8" connection and a 600mm filter body.
Using matching 200mm ducting, fans and fittings wherever practical helps maintain an efficient airflow path through the ventilation system.
Reducing the duct diameter increases air velocity and system resistance, so unnecessary reductions should be avoided where maximum airflow performance is required.
Installing the U-GO Carbon Filter
In a typical filtered extraction system, air is drawn through the carbon filter before entering the extraction fan. The treated air then travels through the exhaust ductwork.
Fan and filter performance should be considered together. The fan needs sufficient pressure capability to overcome the resistance of the filter and duct system while remaining appropriately matched to the filter.
- Support the filter securely and independently.
- Use 200mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
- Match the extraction fan appropriately to the filter and required airflow.
- Keep duct runs as short and direct as possible.
- Minimise unnecessary bends and reductions.
- Keep connections secure to prevent untreated air bypass.
- Avoid obstructing the filter's air-entry surface.
Carbon filter service life
Activated carbon has a finite adsorption capacity. As the filter processes contaminated air, compounds gradually occupy more of the available adsorption sites within the carbon.
U-GO's selected carbon and low-restriction filter design are intended to support effective filtration and a longer expected operating life, but actual service life will always depend on the installation.
Operating hours, airflow, environmental conditions and the concentration of compounds being removed can all affect how quickly a carbon filter becomes saturated.
If unwanted odours begin passing through despite correct ventilation operation and secure connections, the carbon filter may be approaching the end of its effective service life.

This model has a nominal 200mm / 8" connection and a 600mm filter body. What type of carbon does U-GO 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 refers to the selected particle grade used within the filter. Carbon particle characteristics affect both adsorption and the resistance created as air passes through the carbon bed. Why does U-GO select only part of each carbon supply?
Activated carbon is a natural material and its characteristics can vary between batches. U-GO states that it selects the premium 20% of carbon produced for use in its filters. Is U-GO carbon batch tested?
Yes. U-GO states that its carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected before being used in its filters. 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 its required standard rejected. Why does carbon particle size matter?
Particle characteristics influence both the available carbon surface and resistance to airflow. U-GO selects its Pro Grade 4/8 carbon to provide a balance between filtration and airflow. Does U-GO de-dust its carbon?
Yes. De-dusting forms part of the stated U-GO carbon selection process and helps reduce unnecessary fine carbon material within the filter. What size ducting should I use?
This model has a nominal 200mm / 8" connection, so matching 200mm ducting and fittings should be used wherever practical. Can I use this with a 200mm extraction fan?
Yes. It is designed for integration into a 200mm ventilation system. Fan performance should also be matched to the airflow requirements and resistance of the complete installation. Will a carbon filter reduce fan airflow?
Yes. All carbon beds introduce some resistance. U-GO's carbon selection and filter design place particular emphasis on maintaining airflow while still providing effective carbon filtration. Can I reduce the filter into smaller ducting?
A suitable reducer can be used where required, but reducing duct diameter increases system resistance and may reduce available airflow. How does the U-GO Carbon Filter remove 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?
Actual service life depends on operating hours, airflow, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions, so a single replacement interval cannot accurately apply to every installation. How do I know when the carbon filter needs replacing?
If unwanted odours begin passing through despite suitable airflow, secure connections and correct ventilation operation, the activated carbon may be approaching the end of its effective adsorption capacity.

The U-GO Carbon Filter 8" 200mm x 600mm is a premium activated carbon air filter engineered around carefully selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon, with an emphasis on high airflow, low restriction and dependable odour filtration.
U-GO takes a particularly selective approach to the carbon used inside its filters. Because activated carbon is a natural material and its quality can vary between production batches, U-GO states that it selects only the premium 20% of the carbon produced for use within its filtration range.
The carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected to provide the particle characteristics required for effective airflow. U-GO uses Pro Grade 4/8 carbon, with material that fails its quality and air-stream testing rejected rather than used within the filter.
The result is a 200mm carbon filter designed to combine effective odour adsorption with reduced airflow restriction, helping a correctly matched extraction fan maintain useful ventilation performance once the filter is installed.
Why choose the U-GO 8" Carbon Filter?
- Premium carbon selection - U-GO states that only the top 20% of carbon produced is selected for its filters.
- Pro Grade 4/8 carbon - selected particle size designed to balance filtration performance and airflow.
- Independently batch tested - carbon quality is checked before being accepted for use.
- De-dusted carbon - selected and processed to minimise excessive carbon dust.
- Minimum 20% butane adsorption test requirement - carbon failing U-GO's specified air-stream quality testing is rejected.
- Low-restriction design - engineered to maintain strong airflow through the filter.
- 200mm / 8" connection - integrates with compatible fans, ducting and ventilation fittings.
- 600mm filter body - provides substantial filtration capacity in a manageable format.
- Designed for odour filtration - activated carbon adsorbs suitable gaseous odour compounds from extracted air.
- Built for filtered extraction - suitable for pairing with an appropriately specified 200mm extraction fan.
Premium selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon
Not all activated carbon performs identically. Carbon is a natural material, so particle size, dust content and adsorption performance can vary between batches.
U-GO's approach is to grade the carbon before it reaches the finished filter. The brand states that it purchases only the premium 20% of available carbon, with the material independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected before use.
The filters use Pro Grade 4/8 carbon. Selecting a suitable carbon particle size is important because the carbon bed needs to provide a large adsorptive surface without creating excessive resistance to airflow.
Carbon that is too fine or excessively dusty can increase resistance. U-GO's carbon specification is intended to provide a balance between effective adsorption and the free movement of air through the filter.
Batch tested for carbon quality
U-GO states that its carbon is independently batch tested rather than assuming every batch of natural activated carbon will perform to the same standard.
The selection process includes assessment of carbon particle characteristics and air-stream performance, with a stated minimum 20% butane adsorption requirement.
Material that is too small, excessively dusty or does not meet the required testing standard is rejected rather than being used in the finished U-GO filter.
This quality-control approach is intended to provide more consistent filtration performance from one production batch to another.
How activated carbon removes odours
Activated carbon contains a huge network of microscopic pores. These pores give the carbon an extremely large internal surface area relative to its physical size.
As odour-bearing air passes through the carbon bed, suitable gaseous compounds adhere to the carbon surface through a process known as adsorption.
The effectiveness of the process depends on carbon quality, the amount of carbon available, airflow, contact time and the concentration of compounds being treated.
Carbon filtration is therefore different from simply trapping visible dust. Its main role is treating gaseous odour compounds carried within the extraction airstream.
Designed for high airflow with low restriction
Every carbon filter introduces some resistance because the air must travel through a bed of activated carbon before reaching the extraction fan.
U-GO places particular emphasis on reducing unnecessary restriction. Its selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon is intended to provide the particle characteristics required for good airflow without compromising the filter's ability to adsorb odour compounds.
This matters because the airflow quoted for an extraction fan is generally its maximum performance under defined conditions. Once a carbon filter, ducting, bends and other components are added, the actual airflow delivered by the system will be lower.
A lower-restriction filter helps preserve more of the fan's available airflow while still providing the carbon bed required for odour filtration.
200mm / 8" connection with 600mm body
This U-GO Carbon Filter has a nominal 200mm / 8" connection and a 600mm filter body.
Using matching 200mm ducting, fans and fittings wherever practical helps maintain an efficient airflow path through the ventilation system.
Reducing the duct diameter increases air velocity and system resistance, so unnecessary reductions should be avoided where maximum airflow performance is required.
Installing the U-GO Carbon Filter
In a typical filtered extraction system, air is drawn through the carbon filter before entering the extraction fan. The treated air then travels through the exhaust ductwork.
Fan and filter performance should be considered together. The fan needs sufficient pressure capability to overcome the resistance of the filter and duct system while remaining appropriately matched to the filter.
- Support the filter securely and independently.
- Use 200mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
- Match the extraction fan appropriately to the filter and required airflow.
- Keep duct runs as short and direct as possible.
- Minimise unnecessary bends and reductions.
- Keep connections secure to prevent untreated air bypass.
- Avoid obstructing the filter's air-entry surface.
Carbon filter service life
Activated carbon has a finite adsorption capacity. As the filter processes contaminated air, compounds gradually occupy more of the available adsorption sites within the carbon.
U-GO's selected carbon and low-restriction filter design are intended to support effective filtration and a longer expected operating life, but actual service life will always depend on the installation.
Operating hours, airflow, environmental conditions and the concentration of compounds being removed can all affect how quickly a carbon filter becomes saturated.
If unwanted odours begin passing through despite correct ventilation operation and secure connections, the carbon filter may be approaching the end of its effective service life.

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.

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.

The U-GO Carbon Filter 6" 150mm x 300mm is a compact activated carbon air filter built 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 and particle characteristics can vary from batch to batch. U-GO takes a selective approach to the carbon used in its filters, stating that it purchases only the premium 20% of carbon produced.
The carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected before use. U-GO specifies Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon, with material that is excessively fine, dusty or fails its required air-stream testing rejected.
With a 150mm / 6" connection and compact 300mm filter body, this version provides the U-GO filtration approach in a shorter format for 150mm extraction systems where installation space is more limited.
Why choose the U-GO 6" x 300mm Carbon Filter?
- Premium carbon selection - U-GO states that only the premium 20% of carbon produced is selected for its filters.
- Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon - selected particle characteristics designed to balance effective adsorption with good airflow.
- Independently batch tested - carbon quality is checked before being accepted for use.

Premium selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon
Carbon quality is one of the most important factors in an activated carbon filter. Natural carbon can vary in particle size, dust content and adsorption performance, so U-GO places particular emphasis on selecting the material used inside its filters.
U-GO states that it purchases only the premium 20% of carbon produced. The selected carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and checked before being used within the finished filter.
The range uses Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon. Carbon particle characteristics matter because the filter needs to provide a substantial adsorptive surface while still allowing air to travel through the carbon bed efficiently.
Material that is excessively fine or dusty can create unnecessary resistance. U-GO's selected 4/8 grade is intended to provide an effective balance between odour filtration and airflow.
Independently batch tested carbon
U-GO states that its activated carbon is independently batch tested rather than assuming every batch of natural carbon will perform identically.
The selection process checks the carbon for the characteristics required for air filtration, including a stated minimum 20% butane adsorption requirement.
Carbon that is too small, excessively dusty or does not meet the required air-stream test is rejected rather than being used within the finished filter.
This quality-control process is intended to provide more consistent filtration and airflow performance across the U-GO carbon filter range.
How activated carbon removes unwanted odours
Activated carbon has an extremely porous internal structure. Its network of microscopic pores creates an enormous internal surface area relative to the physical amount of carbon inside the filter.
As odour-bearing air passes through the carbon bed, suitable gaseous compounds adhere to this surface through a process known as adsorption.
The effectiveness of carbon filtration is influenced by carbon quality, airflow, contact time, environmental conditions and the concentration of the compounds being treated.
The U-GO filter is therefore primarily designed to treat gaseous odour compounds carried in the extraction airstream rather than functioning simply as a particulate filter.
Designed for airflow with low restriction
Every carbon filter introduces some airflow resistance because the extraction fan has to draw air through a packed bed of activated carbon.
U-GO's use of selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon is intended to provide the particle characteristics needed for effective adsorption without creating unnecessary restriction.
This matters when designing a complete ventilation system. Once a carbon filter, ducting, bends and other components are connected, the actual airflow delivered by an extraction fan will normally be lower than its unrestricted maximum airflow figure.
A low-restriction carbon filter helps preserve more of the fan's available airflow while still providing the activated carbon required for odour filtration.
Compact 150mm x 300mm format
This model combines a nominal 150mm / 6" connection with a 300mm filter body.
Its shorter format makes it particularly useful where available installation space is restricted, while retaining compatibility with appropriately sized 150mm ventilation equipment.
For systems where space permits and greater carbon capacity is required, longer U-GO filters are also available. The correct filter should be selected according to the fan, required airflow, available space and overall ventilation design.
Installing the U-GO 150mm Carbon Filter
A typical filtered extraction system draws environmental air through the carbon filter before it reaches the extraction fan. The treated air then continues through the exhaust ductwork.
Fan and filter selection should be considered together. The extraction fan needs sufficient performance to overcome resistance from the filter and duct system while maintaining the required ventilation rate.
- Support the filter securely and independently.
- Use 150mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
- Match the extraction fan appropriately to the filter.
- Keep duct runs as short and direct as possible.
- Minimise unnecessary tight bends and reductions.
- Secure connections to minimise untreated air bypass.
- Keep the filter's air-entry surface unobstructed.
Carbon filter life & replacement
Activated carbon has a finite adsorption capacity. As the filter operates, gaseous compounds progressively occupy available adsorption sites within the carbon.
U-GO's selected carbon and low-restriction design are intended to provide effective filtration with a longer expected operating life, but actual service life will depend on the conditions in which the filter is used.
Operating hours, airflow, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions can 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.

The filter uses Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon. Particle characteristics are important because the carbon bed needs to provide extensive adsorptive surface area while still allowing air to pass through efficiently.
Carbon that is excessively fine or dusty can create unnecessary airflow resistance. U-GO's selected 4/8 grade is intended to provide an effective balance between odour filtration and airflow.
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 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 rather than being used within the finished filter.
This selection process is intended to provide more consistent filtration and airflow performance from one filter to another.
How activated carbon removes unwanted odours
Activated carbon contains an enormous network of microscopic pores. This creates a very large internal surface area relative to the physical amount 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, airflow, contact time and contaminant concentration all influence the effectiveness of this process.
The U-GO filter is therefore primarily designed to remove suitable gaseous odour compounds from extracted air rather than simply functioning as a particulate or dust filter.
Designed for airflow with low restriction
Every carbon filter introduces some resistance because the extraction fan has to pull air through a packed bed of activated carbon.
U-GO's use of selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon is intended to provide the particle characteristics required for effective adsorption without creating unnecessary restriction.
This is important because an extraction fan's maximum airflow figure will normally fall once a carbon filter, ducting, bends and other ventilation components are connected.
A lower-restriction carbon filter helps preserve more of the fan's available airflow while still providing the carbon bed required for effective odour filtration.
Compact 125mm x 300mm format
This model combines a nominal 125mm / 5" connection with a 300mm filter body.
Its compact dimensions make it particularly useful in smaller ventilation installations or where available space for the filter is limited.
Using matching 125mm ducting, fans and ventilation fittings wherever practical helps maintain a consistent airflow path and avoids unnecessary reductions.
Filter size should be selected according to the extraction fan, required airflow, available installation space and overall ventilation design rather than connection diameter alone.
Installing the U-GO 125mm Carbon Filter
In a typical filtered extraction system, environmental air is drawn through the carbon filter before entering the extraction fan. The treated air then continues through the exhaust ductwork.
Fan and filter performance should be considered together. The fan needs sufficient pressure capability to overcome resistance from the carbon filter and ductwork while maintaining the required ventilation rate.
- Support the filter securely and independently.
- Use 125mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
- Match the extraction fan appropriately to the filter and required airflow.
- Keep duct runs as short and direct as possible.
- Minimise unnecessary tight bends and reductions.
- Secure connections to minimise untreated air bypass.
- Keep the filter's air-entry surface unobstructed.
Carbon filter life & replacement
Activated carbon has a finite adsorption capacity. As contaminated air passes through the filter, gaseous 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 on the installation and operating conditions.
Operating hours, airflow, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions can all affect how quickly the activated carbon becomes saturated.
If unwanted odours begin passing through despite correct ventilation operation and secure connections, the carbon may be approaching the end of its effective adsorption capacity.

Premium selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon
Carbon quality has a major influence on the performance of an activated carbon filter. Natural carbon can vary in particle size, dust content and adsorption performance, which is why U-GO places particular emphasis on the material selected for its filters.
U-GO states that it purchases only the premium 20% of carbon produced. The selected material is independently batch tested, de-dusted and checked before being used within the finished filter.
The filter uses Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon. Particle characteristics are important because the carbon bed needs to provide extensive adsorptive surface area while still allowing air to travel through efficiently.
Carbon that is excessively fine or dusty can create unnecessary airflow resistance. U-GO's selected 4/8 grade is intended to provide an effective balance between odour filtration and airflow.
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 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 rather than being used within the finished filter.
This quality-control process is intended to provide more consistent filtration and airflow performance throughout the U-GO carbon filter range.
How activated carbon removes unwanted odours
Activated carbon contains a vast network of microscopic pores. This creates an extremely large internal surface area relative to the physical amount 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, airflow, contact time and contaminant concentration all influence the effectiveness of this process.
The U-GO filter is therefore primarily designed to treat gaseous odour compounds carried within extracted air rather than simply acting as a dust or particulate filter.
Designed for airflow with low restriction
Every activated carbon filter introduces some resistance because the extraction fan has to 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 needed for effective adsorption without creating unnecessary restriction.
This becomes important when designing a complete ventilation system. An extraction fan's maximum airflow will normally reduce once a carbon filter, ducting, bends and other ventilation components are connected.
A low-restriction carbon filter helps preserve more of the fan's available airflow while still providing the activated carbon required for effective odour filtration.
Compact 100mm x 300mm format
This model combines a nominal 100mm / 4" connection with a 300mm filter body, making it the compact option for smaller-diameter ventilation systems.
Its short body is particularly useful where available installation space is restricted and a larger carbon filter would be difficult to accommodate.
Using matching 100mm ducting, fans and ventilation fittings wherever practical helps maintain a consistent airflow path without introducing unnecessary reducers.
Filter selection should take into account the extraction fan, required airflow, available space and resistance of the complete ventilation system rather than connection diameter alone.
Installing the U-GO 100mm Carbon Filter
In a typical filtered extraction system, environmental air is drawn through the carbon filter before entering the extraction fan. The treated air then continues through the exhaust ductwork.
Fan and filter performance should be considered together. The fan needs sufficient pressure capability to overcome resistance from the carbon filter and ductwork while maintaining the required ventilation rate.
- Support the filter securely and independently.
- Use 100mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
- Match the extraction fan appropriately to the filter and required airflow.
- Keep duct runs as short and direct as possible.
- Minimise unnecessary tight bends and reductions.
- Secure connections to minimise untreated air bypass.
- Keep the filter's air-entry surface unobstructed.

Premium selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon
Carbon quality has a major influence on the performance of an activated carbon filter. Natural carbon can vary in particle size, dust content and adsorption capability, so U-GO places particular emphasis on selecting the material used inside its filters.
U-GO states that it purchases only the premium 20% of carbon produced. The selected carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and checked before being used within the finished filter.
The U-GO range uses Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon. Particle characteristics are important because the carbon bed needs to provide extensive adsorptive surface area while still allowing large volumes of air to travel through efficiently.
Carbon that is excessively fine or dusty can create unnecessary resistance. U-GO's selected 4/8 grade is intended to achieve an effective balance between odour filtration and airflow.
Independently batch tested carbon
U-GO states that its activated carbon is independently batch tested rather than assuming every batch of natural carbon will perform to the same standard.
The selection process assesses the carbon for 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 rather than being used within the finished filter.
This quality-control approach is intended to provide more consistent filtration and airflow performance throughout the U-GO carbon filter range.
How activated carbon removes unwanted odours
Activated carbon contains an enormous network of microscopic pores. These create a very large internal 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, airflow, contact time, environmental conditions and contaminant concentration all influence the effectiveness of this process.
The U-GO filter is therefore primarily designed to treat gaseous odour compounds carried within extracted air rather than simply acting as a dust or particulate filter.
Designed for high airflow with low restriction
Airflow resistance becomes particularly important in a large 315mm ventilation system. Even a powerful extraction fan can lose significant airflow when resistance is introduced by a carbon filter, long duct runs, bends, silencers and other components.
U-GO's use of selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon is intended to provide effective adsorption without unnecessarily restricting the movement of air through the carbon bed.
The filter's large 315mm / 12.5" connection also allows it to form part of a high-volume ventilation system without immediately forcing the airflow through a smaller-diameter connection.
Maintaining the 315mm diameter through as much of the ventilation system as practical helps minimise additional resistance and allows the extraction equipment to operate more efficiently.
315mm / 12.5" connection with 600mm body
This U-GO Carbon Filter combines a nominal 315mm / 12.5" connection with a 600mm filter body.
The large diameter makes it particularly suited to high-airflow ventilation installations where smaller duct sizes would create excessive air velocity and resistance.
Using matching 315mm ducting, fans and fittings wherever practical provides the most direct airflow path through the system.
If reducers are required, they should be considered carefully because a significant reduction in duct diameter can increase resistance, turbulence and airflow noise while reducing overall system performance.
Installing the U-GO 315mm Carbon Filter
In a typical filtered extraction system, environmental air is drawn through the carbon filter before entering the extraction fan. The treated air then continues through the exhaust ductwork.
Fan and filter performance should be considered together. A high-capacity extraction fan needs sufficient static-pressure capability to overcome resistance from the carbon bed and the remainder of the duct system while maintaining the required airflow.
- Support the carbon filter securely and independently.
- Use 315mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
- Match the extraction fan appropriately to the filter and required airflow.
- Keep duct runs as short and direct as the installation allows.
- Minimise unnecessary tight bends and reductions.
- Secure all connections to minimise untreated air bypass.
- Keep the filter's air-entry surface unobstructed.
- Allow sufficient space around the filter for unrestricted air entry.
Carbon filter life & replacement
Activated carbon has a finite adsorption capacity. As contaminated air passes through the filter, gaseous compounds progressively occupy the 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 operating conditions.
Operating hours, airflow, environmental conditions and the concentration of odour compounds being treated can all affect how quickly the activated carbon becomes saturated.
If unwanted odours begin passing through despite suitable airflow, correct installation and secure connections, the carbon may be approaching the end of its effective adsorption capacity.

The U-GO Carbon Filter 12.5" 315mm x 1200mm is a high-capacity activated carbon air filter designed for large-volume extraction systems, combining selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon with a substantial 1200mm filter body and airflow capacity of up to 4000m³/h.
Activated carbon is a natural material, so its quality, particle characteristics and adsorption performance can vary from batch to batch. U-GO takes a selective approach to its filtration media, stating that it purchases only the premium 20% of carbon produced.
The carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected before use. U-GO specifies Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon, with material that is excessively fine, dusty or fails its required air-stream testing rejected rather than used within the finished filter.
With its 315mm / 12.5" connection, 1200mm filter body and up to 4000m³/h airflow capacity, this is a serious high-volume filter for larger controlled environments where effective odour management and low airflow restriction are both essential.
Why choose the U-GO 315mm x 1200mm Carbon Filter?
- Up to 4000m³/h airflow capacity - designed for large-volume filtered extraction systems.
- Premium carbon selection - U-GO states that only the premium 20% of carbon produced is selected for its filters.
- Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon - selected to balance effective adsorption with strong airflow.
- Independently batch tested - carbon quality is assessed before being accepted for use.
- De-dusted carbon - selected and prepared to minimise excessive fine carbon material.
- Minimum 20% butane adsorption test requirement - carbon failing U-GO's stated air-stream testing standard is rejected.
- Low-restriction design - particularly important when moving large volumes of air.
- 315mm / 12.5" connection - integrates with compatible high-airflow fans, ducting and ventilation fittings.
- 1200mm filter body - provides a substantial carbon filtration section for demanding applications.
- Effective odour adsorption - activated carbon captures suitable gaseous odour compounds from extracted air.
Premium selected Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon
The quality of the activated carbon has a major influence on both filtration performance and airflow resistance. Natural carbon can vary significantly in particle size, dust content and adsorption characteristics.
U-GO states that it purchases only the premium 20% of carbon produced. The selected material is independently batch tested, de-dusted and checked before being used within its filters.
The range uses Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon. The particle characteristics of the carbon are important because the filter needs to expose contaminated air to a large adsorptive surface without creating excessive resistance to the extraction fan.
Carbon that is excessively fine or dusty can restrict airflow. U-GO's selected 4/8 grade is intended to provide the balance required between effective odour adsorption and efficient air movement.
Independently batch tested carbon
U-GO states that its carbon is independently batch tested rather than assuming that every batch of natural activated carbon will provide identical performance.
The selection 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 selection and testing process is designed to provide more consistent carbon quality, reduced dust and dependable filtration performance.
How activated carbon removes unwanted odours
Activated carbon contains an enormous network of microscopic pores. This gives the carbon an exceptionally large internal surface area relative to its physical volume.
As odour-bearing air is drawn through the filter, suitable gaseous compounds adhere to the surface of the activated carbon through a process known as adsorption.
Carbon quality, airflow, contact time, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions all influence the effectiveness of this process.
The filter is therefore primarily intended to treat suitable gaseous odour compounds carried within the extraction airstream rather than simply trapping visible dust or particles.
Up to 4000m³/h high-airflow filtration
This 315mm x 1200mm U-GO Carbon Filter is specified for airflow of up to 4000m³/h, making it suitable for high-capacity ventilation installations.
Carbon filtration inevitably creates some resistance because the extraction fan must pull air through a packed carbon bed. At high airflow rates, keeping this resistance under control becomes particularly important.
U-GO's selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon and low-restriction filter design are intended to maintain strong airflow while still providing the carbon contact required for effective odour adsorption.
The filter should still be considered as part of the complete ventilation system. Duct length, bends, silencers, reducers and other components can all increase static pressure and reduce the actual airflow delivered.
315mm connection with a 1200mm filter body
The combination of a 315mm / 12.5" connection and 1200mm filter body makes this one of the larger U-GO filtration options.
The 315mm connection allows large volumes of air to move through the system without immediately being forced through a smaller duct diameter, while the extended 1200mm body provides substantial carbon filtration capacity.
Using matching 315mm fans, ducting and fittings wherever practical helps maintain a consistent airflow path and reduces unnecessary system resistance.
Where reducers are unavoidable, remember that reducing duct diameter increases air velocity and resistance and can significantly affect the performance of a high-airflow system.
Installing the U-GO 315mm x 1200mm Carbon Filter
In a typical filtered extraction arrangement, environmental air is drawn through the carbon filter before entering the extraction fan. The treated air then continues through the exhaust ductwork.
Fan and filter performance should be considered together. For a filter capable of handling up to 4000m³/h, the extraction fan needs sufficient airflow and static-pressure capability to overcome resistance from the carbon bed and the remainder of the ventilation system.
- Support the filter securely and independently.
- Use 315mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
- Match the fan to the filter and required system airflow.
- Consider the fan's performance under static pressure rather than unrestricted airflow alone.
- Keep duct runs as short and direct as practical.
- Minimise unnecessary tight bends and diameter reductions.
- Secure connections to minimise untreated air bypass.
- Keep the filter's air-entry surface unobstructed.
- Allow adequate clearance around the filter for unrestricted air entry.
Carbon filter life & replacement
Activated carbon has a finite adsorption capacity. As contaminated air passes through the filter, gaseous compounds progressively occupy the available adsorption sites within the carbon.
U-GO's selected carbon and low-restriction design are intended to provide effective filtration with a longer expected operating life, but actual service life varies according to the application.
Operating hours, airflow, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions can all influence how quickly the activated carbon becomes saturated.
If unwanted odours begin passing through despite suitable airflow, correct installation and secure duct connections, the carbon may be approaching the end of its effective adsorption capacity.

U-GO 12.5" 315mm x 1200mm Carbon Filter FAQs
What size is this U-GO Carbon Filter?
This model has a nominal 315mm / 12.5" connection and a 1200mm-long filter body. What airflow is the U-GO 315mm x 1200mm filter designed for?
This model is specified for airflow of up to 4000m³/h. What type of activated carbon does U-GO 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 refers to the selected particle grade used within the filter. Particle characteristics influence both adsorption performance and resistance to airflow through the carbon bed. Why does U-GO select only part of its carbon supply?
Activated carbon is a natural material and its characteristics vary 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 minimum 20% butane adsorption specification?
U-GO specifies a minimum 20% butane adsorption requirement as part of its carbon testing, with material that fails the required standard rejected. Why does carbon particle size matter?
Particle characteristics affect both adsorption and airflow. Excessively fine or dusty carbon can increase resistance through the filter. What size ducting should I use?
The filter has a nominal 315mm / 12.5" connection, so matching 315mm ducting and fittings should be used wherever practical. Can I use this with a 315mm extraction fan?
Yes. It is designed for 315mm ventilation systems. The fan should also be appropriately matched to the filter's airflow requirement and the resistance of the complete duct system. Does a carbon filter reduce extraction airflow?
Yes. Every carbon filter creates some resistance. U-GO's selected carbon grade and low-restriction design are intended to maintain strong airflow while providing effective filtration. Can I reduce the 315mm connection into smaller ducting?
A suitable reducer can be used where necessary, but reducing duct diameter increases air velocity and resistance and can significantly reduce airflow in a high-volume 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 depends on 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 ventilation operation and secure connections, the activated carbon may be approaching the end of its effective adsorption capacity.

The U-GO Carbon Filter 12.5" 315mm x 1000mm is a high-capacity activated carbon air filter designed for large-volume extraction systems, combining selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon with a substantial 1000mm filter body and a low-restriction design.
Activated carbon is a natural material, so its quality, particle characteristics and adsorption performance can vary from batch to batch. U-GO takes a selective approach to its filtration media, stating that it purchases only the premium 20% of carbon produced.
The carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected before use. U-GO specifies Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon, with material that is excessively fine, dusty or fails its required air-stream testing rejected rather than used within the finished filter.
With a 315mm / 12.5" connection and 1000mm filter body, this model is designed for demanding high-airflow installations where effective odour management needs to be achieved without introducing unnecessary restriction into the ventilation system.
Why choose the U-GO 315mm x 1000mm Carbon Filter?
- Designed for high-volume extraction - the large 315mm connection is suited to substantial ventilation systems.
- Premium carbon selection - U-GO states that only the premium 20% of carbon produced is selected for its filters.

- Independently batch tested - carbon quality is assessed before being accepted for use.
- De-dusted carbon - selected and prepared to minimise excessive fine carbon material.
- Minimum 20% butane adsorption test requirement - carbon failing U-GO's stated air-stream testing standard is rejected.
- Low-restriction design - particularly important when moving large volumes of air through a filtered extraction system.
- 315mm / 12.5" connection - integrates with compatible high-airflow fans, ducting and ventilation fittings.
- 1000mm filter body - provides substantial activated carbon filtration capacity.
- Effective odour adsorption - activated carbon captures suitable gaseous odour compounds from extracted air.
Premium selected Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon
Carbon quality is fundamental to the performance of an activated carbon filter. Natural carbon can vary significantly in particle size, dust content and adsorption characteristics, all of which can affect filtration and airflow.
U-GO states that it purchases only the premium 20% of carbon produced. The selected material is independently batch tested, de-dusted and checked before being used within its filters.
The U-GO range uses Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon. Particle characteristics matter because the carbon bed must provide extensive adsorptive surface area while still allowing the extraction fan to move air efficiently through the filter.
Carbon that is excessively fine or dusty can create unnecessary resistance. U-GO's selected 4/8 grade is intended to achieve an effective balance between odour adsorption and airflow.
Independently batch tested carbon
U-GO states that its activated carbon is independently batch tested rather than assuming every batch of natural carbon will provide identical performance.
The selection 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 rather than being used within the finished filter.
This quality-control process is intended to provide more consistent carbon quality, reduced dust and dependable filtration performance across the U-GO range.
How activated carbon removes unwanted odours
Activated carbon contains an enormous network of microscopic pores. This gives the carbon a very large internal surface area relative to its physical volume.
As odour-bearing air is drawn through the filter, suitable gaseous compounds adhere to the surface of the activated carbon through a process known as adsorption.
Carbon quality, airflow, contact time, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions all influence the effectiveness of this process.
The U-GO filter is therefore primarily intended to treat suitable gaseous odour compounds carried within the extraction airstream rather than simply trapping visible dust or particles.
High-airflow, low-restriction filtration
Carbon filtration inevitably creates some resistance because the extraction fan must draw air through a packed bed of activated carbon. In a large-volume ventilation system, keeping that resistance under control is particularly important.
U-GO's selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon is intended to provide the particle characteristics required for effective adsorption while avoiding unnecessary airflow restriction.
The filter's large 315mm / 12.5" connection also allows it to form part of a substantial ventilation system without immediately forcing the airflow through a smaller-diameter connection.
Actual system airflow will depend on the complete installation. The carbon filter, duct length, bends, silencers, reducers and other components all contribute to static pressure and can reduce the airflow delivered by the extraction fan.
315mm connection with a 1000mm filter body
This U-GO Carbon Filter combines a nominal 315mm / 12.5" connection with a 1000mm filter body.
The large connection diameter is particularly suited to high-volume ventilation installations where reducing the system to smaller ducting could create excessive air velocity and resistance.
The extended 1000mm body provides substantial activated carbon filtration capacity while retaining direct compatibility with appropriately sized 315mm ventilation equipment.
Using matching 315mm fans, ducting and fittings wherever practical helps maintain a consistent airflow path and minimises unnecessary system resistance.
Installing the U-GO 315mm x 1000mm Carbon Filter
In a typical filtered extraction arrangement, environmental air is drawn through the carbon filter before entering the extraction fan. The treated air then continues through the exhaust ductwork.
Fan and filter performance should be considered together. The extraction fan needs sufficient airflow and static-pressure capability to overcome resistance from the carbon bed and the remainder of the ventilation system while maintaining the required air-exchange rate.

Premium selected Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon
Carbon quality has a major influence on the performance of an activated carbon filter. Natural carbon can vary in particle size, dust content and adsorption capability, which is why U-GO places particular emphasis on selecting the material used within its filters.
U-GO states that it purchases only the premium 20% of carbon produced. The selected carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and checked before being used within the finished filter.
The filter uses Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon. Particle characteristics are important because the carbon bed needs to provide extensive adsorptive surface area while still allowing substantial volumes of air to pass through efficiently.
Carbon that is excessively fine or dusty can create unnecessary airflow resistance. U-GO's selected 4/8 grade is intended to provide an effective balance between odour filtration and airflow.
Independently batch tested carbon
U-GO states that its activated carbon is independently batch tested rather than assuming every batch of natural carbon will provide identical performance.
The selection process assesses the carbon for 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 rather than being used within the finished filter.
This quality-control process is intended to provide more consistent filtration and airflow performance throughout the U-GO carbon filter range.
How activated carbon removes unwanted odours
Activated carbon contains an enormous network of microscopic pores. This creates a very large internal surface area relative to the physical volume of carbon within 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, airflow, contact time, environmental conditions and contaminant concentration all influence the effectiveness of this process.
The U-GO filter is therefore primarily designed to treat suitable gaseous odour compounds carried within extracted air rather than simply acting as a dust or particulate filter.
Designed for high airflow with low restriction
Every carbon filter introduces some airflow 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 creating unnecessary restriction.
This is particularly important in larger 250mm ventilation systems, where maintaining duct diameter and minimising system resistance helps preserve the airflow available from the extraction fan.
Actual airflow will depend on the complete installation. Carbon filtration, duct length, bends, silencers, reducers and other ventilation components can all increase static pressure and reduce the airflow delivered by the fan.
250mm / 10" connection with 600mm filter body
This U-GO Carbon Filter combines a nominal 250mm / 10" connection with a 600mm filter body.
The large connection diameter makes it suitable for substantial ventilation systems while the 600mm body provides significant activated carbon filtration capacity.
Using matching 250mm fans, ducting and ventilation fittings wherever practical helps maintain a consistent airflow path through the system.
Where reducers are required, remember that reducing duct diameter increases air velocity and resistance and may reduce overall system airflow.
Installing the U-GO 250mm Carbon Filter
In a typical filtered extraction arrangement, environmental air is drawn through the carbon filter before entering the extraction fan. The treated air then continues through the exhaust ductwork.
Fan and filter performance should be considered together. The extraction fan needs sufficient airflow and static-pressure capability to overcome resistance from the carbon filter and duct system while maintaining the required ventilation rate.
