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.

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.
