Unit price perThe Botanixx Propagation Tent PRO 10 is a professional 10-tier propagation station designed to maximise cutting, seedling and young-plant production within a compact 120 x 40cm footprint.
Standing 200cm high, the PRO 10 takes advantage of vertical space rather than valuable floor area. Its ten propagation levels provide capacity for up to 10 standard propagation trays or approximately 1,040 individual cutting positions, making it particularly useful for nurseries, propagation facilities and other high-throughput plant production environments.
The enclosed design provides a dedicated space in which lighting, airflow, temperature and humidity can be managed around young plants independently from the surrounding growing area.
A highly reflective 97% Mylar interior helps distribute artificial light throughout the propagation area, while the heavy-duty 600D outer fabric, powder-coated steel frame and light-resistant closures provide a robust structure for repeated professional use.
Why choose the Botanixx Propagation Tent PRO 10?
Up to 1,040 cuttings in just 0.48m²
The main advantage of the PRO 10 is its ability to turn a relatively small floor area into a high-capacity propagation station.
Its 120 x 40cm footprint occupies only 0.48m², while the 200cm height provides room for ten propagation levels. With a standard 104-cell propagation tray on each level, the system can accommodate approximately 1,040 cutting or seedling positions.
This vertical approach can be particularly valuable in commercial nurseries, propagation rooms and production facilities where available floor space is limited or expensive.
Designed for professional plant propagation
The PRO 10 provides a dedicated environment for the early stages of plant production, allowing young plants to be managed separately from mature crops.
A dedicated environment for young plants
Cuttings and seedlings often require very different conditions from established plants. They typically need lower light intensity, careful moisture management and tightly controlled temperature and humidity while roots and early foliage develop.
Housing propagation separately allows these conditions to be managed specifically for young plants rather than compromising between the requirements of different crop stages.
The enclosed PRO 10 also makes it easier to create consistent conditions between batches, which is particularly important where reliable rooting and uniform young-plant development are production priorities.
97% reflective Mylar interior
The interior is lined with highly reflective Mylar rated at approximately 97% reflectivity. This helps redirect artificial light that reaches the walls back towards the propagation area rather than allowing it to be absorbed by a dark internal surface.
In a multi-tier propagation system, each level should be provided with lighting appropriate to the crop and available vertical clearance. Low-profile propagation LEDs or fluorescent-style propagation fixtures are typically easier to integrate into closely spaced shelving than high-intensity lamps.
Lighting equipment is separate and should be selected according to the plant species, propagation stage, shelf spacing and required light intensity.
Airflow & environmental management
With ten levels of plants occupying a relatively narrow enclosure, air movement is an important part of setting up the PRO 10 effectively.
The integrated ventilation openings allow suitable environmental equipment to be incorporated where required. Gentle circulation between the propagation levels can help reduce stagnant pockets of air and improve environmental consistency throughout the enclosure.
Airflow around unrooted cuttings and delicate seedlings should remain gentle. Excessive direct air movement can increase moisture loss from young plants before their root systems are capable of replacing it.
Organising a 10-tier propagation system
The individual levels can be used to organise plants by variety, propagation date or development stage. Clearly labelling each tray makes it easier to maintain batch traceability in larger propagation programmes.
Environmental conditions can vary slightly from the bottom to the top of a tall enclosure, particularly when lighting equipment generates heat. Temperature and humidity should therefore be checked at representative levels rather than relying on a measurement from only one position.
Regular inspection of every tier is also important so irrigation, rooting progress and plant health remain consistent throughout the system.

Botanixx Propagation Tent PRO 10 FAQs
How many cuttings can the Botanixx PRO 10 hold?
The ten-tier system can accommodate up to approximately 1,040 cutting positions when each level is fitted with a 104-cell propagation tray. How much floor space does the PRO 10 require?
The 120 x 40cm base occupies approximately 0.48m² of floor space. The system uses its 200cm height to create substantially more propagation capacity vertically. Is the PRO 10 only suitable for cuttings?
No. It can also be used for seedlings, plug plants and other young plants where the tray size, lighting and environmental conditions are suitable. Are propagation trays included?
The quoted capacity describes the number of compatible propagation trays the system can accommodate. Check the product contents when ordering trays, inserts and propagation accessories, as these may be supplied separately. Does it include propagation lighting?
No. Lighting should be selected separately to suit the crop, shelf spacing and required intensity. Low-profile propagation lighting is particularly useful in a multi-tier installation. Why use a vertical propagation system?
Stacking propagation levels makes far more productive use of available floor space. This can substantially increase nursery capacity without requiring the same increase in room or bench area. Why is the inside reflective?
The 97% reflective Mylar lining redirects light reaching the enclosure walls back towards the propagation area, helping make better use of installed lighting. Do all ten levels need their own light?
For consistent multi-tier production, each occupied level normally needs appropriate illumination. The exact lighting arrangement depends on crop requirements, fixture design and shelf spacing. Do I need air circulation inside the PRO 10?
Gentle air movement is useful for reducing stagnant air and maintaining more consistent conditions between levels. Avoid directing strong airflow straight at unrooted cuttings or delicate seedlings. Where should temperature and humidity be measured?
Because conditions can vary vertically, commercial users should check representative upper, middle and lower levels rather than assuming one sensor position represents the entire enclosure. Is the Botanixx PRO 10 suitable for commercial nurseries?
Its ten-level layout, compact footprint and capacity for large numbers of cuttings or seedlings make it particularly useful for nurseries and other higher-throughput propagation operations. How should different propagation batches be organised?
Individual levels can be assigned to varieties, propagation dates or crop batches. Clear tray labelling helps maintain traceability and makes it easier to monitor rooting and development.

The Garden HighPro ProBox Propagator XL turns a relatively narrow footprint into a highly usable propagation space. At 120cm wide, 40cm deep and 200cm tall, its tiered design makes much better use of vertical space than a conventional single-level grow tent.
Designed specifically for propagation, the ProBox XL provides separate levels for trays of seedlings, cuttings and young plants. This makes it particularly useful for nurseries, propagation rooms and growers who want to produce larger numbers of young plants without sacrificing valuable floor space.
The outer cover is manufactured from strong 420D nylon, while the inside uses Garden HighPro's plant-friendly Mylar with 97% reflectivity. A stable frame, reinforced construction and lightproof zips create a purpose-built enclosed environment for propagation lighting and environmental control.
Why choose the Garden HighPro ProBox Propagator XL?
What is the ProBox Propagator XL suitable for?
The ProBox Propagator XL is designed around the early stages of plant production. Its tiered layout is ideal for seed trays, propagation trays, rooted cuttings and young plants that benefit from a dedicated environment before being moved into larger growing areas.
The 40cm depth is particularly useful where floor space is limited. Rather than using a deep conventional grow tent, the ProBox XL creates a wide but relatively shallow propagation station that can sit neatly against a wall while using its 200cm height to provide multiple growing levels.
This makes it suitable for both enthusiastic home growers and commercial propagation environments where efficient use of available space matters.
Setting up the Garden HighPro ProBox Propagator XL
Assemble the frame before fitting the propagation levels and outer cover. Once the structure is complete, position the tent on a level surface with enough clearance at the front to open both doors comfortably.
Propagation lighting can then be arranged above the required levels, with power cables routed through the dedicated cable ports. The tent also incorporates ventilation openings, allowing air movement and extraction equipment to be added to suit the propagation environment.
Arrange propagation trays so that young plants have suitable clearance beneath the lighting above each level. As seedlings and cuttings develop, adjust the growing arrangement to maintain appropriate spacing and airflow.
The large front access makes routine watering, inspection and tray handling straightforward, while the enclosed reflective interior helps keep the propagation area separate from the surrounding room.

Unit price per203mm (8") x 10m Mute Silent Ducting is an acoustically insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help reduce the noise transmitted through extraction and intake systems.
Ventilation fans create more than just motor noise. Air movement, turbulence and vibration can all travel through standard ducting, making an otherwise effective extraction system noticeably louder. Acoustic ducting helps tackle this by surrounding the inner airflow path with an insulating layer that absorbs and reduces transmitted sound.
With a 203mm (8") internal duct diameter and 10m length, this ducting is particularly suited to medium and high-airflow ventilation systems used in grow rooms, indoor horticulture, workshops and other environments where reducing ventilation noise is important.
Its flexible construction also makes installation considerably easier than rigid ductwork where the ventilation route needs to negotiate equipment, corners or structural obstacles.
Why choose 203mm acoustic silent ducting?
How does acoustic ducting reduce noise?
A ventilation system can transmit sound along the same route used to move air. Fan noise and turbulence can travel through ordinary thin-walled ducting and emerge from the opposite end of the system.
Acoustic ducting is constructed differently. An inner flexible airflow duct is surrounded by sound-absorbing insulation and an outer protective layer. The insulation helps absorb some of the sound energy travelling through the duct rather than allowing it to transmit as readily along the ventilation run.
This makes insulated ducting particularly useful immediately before or after an extraction fan, between a fan and carbon filter, or along sections of ductwork where ventilation noise would otherwise be noticeable.
Reducing grow room extraction noise
For the quietest practical ventilation system, noise control should be considered throughout the complete installation rather than relying on one component alone.
Acoustic ducting can help reduce noise transmitted through the ductwork, while fan speed control, acoustic silencers, correctly sized ducting and vibration isolation can address other sources of sound.
Using adequately sized ducting is particularly important. Forcing a large volume of air through undersized ductwork increases air velocity and turbulence, which can make the ventilation system considerably noisier.
Ideal for grow rooms & indoor horticulture
Extraction is essential in many indoor growing environments, but larger fans can create significant noise when operating continuously.
203mm acoustic ducting provides a practical option for installations where 8-inch ventilation equipment is required but keeping the system quieter is also a priority.
It can be used with compatible extraction fans, carbon filters, silencers and other 203mm ventilation components to create a complete air-management system.
Installing 203mm silent ducting
Route the ducting as directly as practical between the ventilation components. Avoid unnecessary tight bends, excessive compression and long sections of heavily sagging duct, as these can increase resistance and turbulence.
When connecting the ducting to a fan, filter, silencer or metal fitting, secure the inner duct correctly to the connection and use a suitable duct clamp or clip. The outer insulated section can then be positioned neatly around the joint.
Where minimising air leakage is important, suitable HVAC foil tape can be used as part of the connection and sealing process.
Support longer duct runs at suitable intervals rather than allowing the weight of the ducting to hang directly from the fan, filter or other ventilation equipment.
Get the best airflow from flexible ducting
Flexible ducting works best when it is installed with unnecessary compression kept to a minimum. Extending the duct sufficiently helps reduce deep internal folds that can increase resistance to airflow.
Keep the route as short and straight as the installation allows. Every bend, restriction and additional length of duct contributes to the resistance the extraction fan must overcome.
Where a sharp 90-degree direction change is required, a compatible rigid metal elbow may provide a cleaner airflow route than forcing flexible ducting around an extremely tight corner.
Compatible 203mm / 8" ventilation equipment
The ducting is intended for compatible nominal 203mm (8") round ventilation systems and can be used alongside appropriately sized components such as:
Always check the actual connection diameter of adjoining equipment before installation, particularly where equipment is described using both metric and imperial sizes.

203mm (8") Mute Silent Ducting FAQs
What is silent ducting?
Silent or acoustic ducting is flexible ventilation duct surrounded by an insulating layer designed to help absorb and reduce noise transmitted through the duct system. What size is this acoustic ducting?
It has a nominal internal duct diameter of 203mm, equivalent to approximately 8 inches, and is supplied in a 10m length. Will acoustic ducting make my extraction fan silent?
No. It is designed to reduce noise transmitted through the ductwork, but it cannot eliminate all fan, airflow or vibration noise. A quieter system may also require suitable fan control, vibration isolation and acoustic silencers. Is acoustic ducting quieter than standard flexible ducting?
Its insulated construction is specifically intended to reduce sound transmission through the duct compared with basic uninsulated flexible ventilation ducting. Can I use this with an 8-inch extraction fan?
Yes, provided the fan has a compatible nominal 203mm / 8" connection. Can I connect it to a carbon filter?
Yes. It can be used with a compatible 203mm / 8" carbon filter as part of an extraction system. Can silent ducting be used with an acoustic silencer?
Yes. Acoustic ducting and a compatible ventilation silencer can be used together as part of a system designed to reduce transmitted ventilation noise. Can I cut the 10m ducting to shorter lengths?
Yes. Flexible ducting can be cut to the length required for the installation using suitable tools, taking care to deal correctly with the internal reinforcement and insulation. Can this ducting be used for intake air?
Yes. It can be incorporated into compatible air-intake systems as well as extraction installations. Does acoustic ducting reduce airflow?
All ductwork creates some resistance. Flexible ducting should be installed without unnecessary compression, excessive length or tight bends to help minimise additional pressure loss. Should flexible ducting be fully stretched out?
It should generally be extended sufficiently to avoid excessive internal corrugation while using only the length needed for the installation. Unnecessary excess duct should not be left heavily compressed. Can I bend the ducting around corners?
Yes, its flexible construction allows direction changes. Avoid very tight bends that crush the internal duct, as these can increase airflow resistance and noise. How should I attach acoustic ducting to a fan?
Secure the inner duct to the compatible fan connection using a suitable duct clamp or clip, then arrange the insulation and outer covering neatly around the connection. Is 203mm acoustic ducting suitable for grow rooms?
Yes. It is particularly useful for indoor horticultural ventilation systems where 203mm extraction equipment is required and reducing fan and airflow noise is desirable. What else can I do to make a ventilation system quieter?
Use correctly sized ducting, minimise unnecessary bends, isolate fan vibration, avoid excessive air velocity and consider compatible fan-speed control and acoustic silencers where appropriate.

Unit price per152mm (6") x 5m Mute Silent Ducting is an acoustically insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help reduce the transmission of fan and airflow noise through extraction and intake systems.
Ventilation systems can transmit a surprising amount of sound through standard ducting. Noise from the fan itself, together with turbulence and fast-moving air, can travel along the duct run and become audible at the inlet or outlet.
This acoustic ducting uses an insulated construction around the flexible inner airflow duct to help absorb transmitted sound. It provides a practical upgrade from standard uninsulated flexible ducting where quieter ventilation is required.
With a 152mm (6") nominal internal diameter and 5m length, it is particularly well suited to grow rooms, indoor horticulture, workshops and other ventilation installations using compatible 6-inch fans, carbon filters and duct fittings.
Why choose 152mm acoustic silent ducting?
How does acoustic ducting work?
Standard flexible ducting provides an airflow route but offers relatively little acoustic isolation. Sound generated by the extraction fan and moving air can therefore travel along the duct run.
Acoustic ducting adds a layer of sound-absorbing insulation around the inner flexible duct. This helps reduce the amount of sound transmitted through and along the ventilation run.
It is particularly useful on sections immediately before or after an extraction fan, between a carbon filter and fan, or wherever ventilation noise needs to be reduced.
Acoustic ducting should be considered a noise-reduction component rather than a complete silencing solution. Fan vibration, motor noise, airflow velocity and other parts of the installation can also contribute to the overall sound level.
Quieter 6-inch grow room ventilation
150mm and 152mm-class extraction systems are widely used where considerably more airflow is required than smaller ventilation systems can provide. As fan capacity increases, however, ventilation noise can become more noticeable.
Using acoustic ducting helps reduce sound transmitted along the ductwork while retaining the flexibility required to route the ventilation system around a grow room or indoor horticultural space.
It can be combined with compatible fans, carbon filters, acoustic silencers and fan-speed controllers as part of a complete ventilation and noise-management system.
How to make an extraction system quieter
Acoustic ducting works best as part of a correctly designed ventilation system. Noise can originate from the fan motor, fan vibration, turbulent airflow and air moving rapidly through undersized or restrictive ductwork.
For a quieter installation, use appropriately sized ducting, keep the ventilation route as direct as practical and avoid crushing the duct around tight corners.
Fan-speed control, vibration isolation and compatible acoustic silencers can also be considered where further noise reduction is required.
Maintaining airflow through flexible ducting
Flexible ducting should be installed carefully to avoid creating unnecessary resistance. Leaving large amounts of duct compressed together creates deeper internal corrugations and can make the airflow path more restrictive.
Extend the duct sufficiently for the required run, remove unnecessary excess length and avoid excessively tight bends. The straighter and smoother the route, the easier it is for the fan to move air through the system.
Where a sharp direction change is unavoidable, using an appropriately sized rigid metal elbow can provide a cleaner turn than forcing the flexible duct through an extremely tight bend.
Installing 152mm acoustic ducting
Measure the required ventilation route and cut the ducting to the appropriate length. Take care when cutting through the flexible inner duct, reinforcement and surrounding insulation.
When connecting to a fan, carbon filter, silencer or rigid fitting, secure the inner duct to the compatible connection using an appropriately sized duct clamp or clip.
Arrange the insulation and outer covering neatly around the joint. Where minimising air leakage is important, suitable HVAC foil tape can also be used as part of the sealing process.
Longer runs should be adequately supported so that the weight of the insulated ducting is not left hanging directly from the fan, filter or other ventilation equipment.
Compatible 152mm / 6" ventilation equipment
This ducting is designed for nominal 152mm (6") ventilation installations and can be used with appropriately sized components including:
Always check the actual connection diameter of the equipment being installed. Metric and imperial ventilation sizes are commonly used together in product descriptions, but actual connection dimensions can vary slightly between manufacturers.

152mm (6") Mute Silent Ducting FAQs
What is acoustic ducting?
Acoustic ducting is flexible ventilation ducting surrounded by an insulating layer designed to help reduce sound transmitted through the ventilation system. What size is this silent ducting?
It has a nominal internal duct diameter of 152mm, approximately 6 inches, and is supplied in a 5m length. Is this suitable for a 6-inch extraction fan?
Yes, provided the fan has a compatible nominal 152mm / 6" connection. Will acoustic ducting completely silence my fan?
No. It helps reduce noise transmitted through the ductwork but cannot eliminate every source of sound from a ventilation system. Is acoustic ducting quieter than normal flexible ducting?
Its insulated construction is specifically intended to reduce sound transmission compared with basic uninsulated flexible ventilation ducting. Can I use this ducting with a carbon filter?
Yes. It can connect compatible 152mm / 6" carbon filters and extraction equipment. Can acoustic ducting be used with a silencer?
Yes. Acoustic ducting and a compatible ventilation silencer can be used together where further reduction of transmitted ventilation noise is required. Can I cut the 5m length?
Yes. The ducting can be cut to suit the installation using appropriate tools, taking care when cutting the inner reinforcement and insulation. Can this ducting be used for intake ventilation?
Yes. It can be incorporated into compatible air-intake systems as well as extraction installations. Does flexible acoustic ducting affect airflow?
All ductwork creates some resistance. Keeping flexible duct reasonably extended and avoiding excessive length, compression and tight bends helps minimise additional pressure loss. Should I stretch acoustic ducting out during installation?
Extend it sufficiently for the required run rather than leaving unnecessary sections heavily compressed. This helps create a less restrictive internal airflow path. Can I bend this ducting around corners?
Yes. Its flexible construction allows it to follow changes in direction, but extremely tight bends that crush the inner duct should be avoided. How do I secure acoustic ducting?
The inner duct can be secured to compatible ventilation connections using an appropriately sized duct clamp or clip, with suitable HVAC foil tape used where additional sealing is required. Is 152mm silent ducting suitable for grow rooms?
Yes. It is particularly useful for indoor horticultural installations where 6-inch extraction equipment is used and reducing ventilation noise is desirable. What else can reduce grow room fan noise?
Correctly sized ducting, smooth airflow routes, fan-speed control, vibration isolation and compatible acoustic silencers can all contribute to a quieter ventilation installation.

Unit price per152mm (6") x 10m Mute Silent Ducting is an acoustically insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help reduce the transmission of fan and airflow noise through extraction and intake systems.
Ventilation systems can transmit a considerable amount of sound through standard ducting. Noise generated by the fan, together with turbulence and fast-moving air, can travel along the duct run and become audible at the inlet or outlet.
This acoustic ducting uses an insulated construction around the flexible inner airflow duct to help absorb transmitted sound. It provides a practical upgrade from standard uninsulated flexible ducting where quieter ventilation is required.
With a 152mm (6") nominal internal diameter and generous 10m length, it is particularly useful for larger installations, longer duct runs or projects requiring several shorter sections of acoustic ducting.
Why choose 152mm acoustic silent ducting?
How does acoustic ducting reduce ventilation noise?
Standard flexible ducting provides an effective route for moving air but offers relatively little acoustic isolation. Sound produced by an extraction fan and turbulent airflow can therefore travel along the same route.
Acoustic ducting adds a layer of sound-absorbing insulation around the inner flexible duct. This helps reduce the amount of noise transmitted through and along the ventilation system.
It can be particularly effective on duct sections immediately before or after an extraction fan, between a carbon filter and fan, or along longer duct runs where ventilation noise would otherwise be noticeable.
Acoustic ducting should be regarded as a noise-reduction component rather than a complete silencing solution. Fan vibration, motor noise, airflow velocity and other components can also contribute to the overall sound produced by an extraction system.
Quieter 6-inch grow room ventilation
152mm-class ventilation equipment is widely used in indoor horticulture where substantial airflow is required for managing heat, humidity and air exchange.
As extraction capacity increases, fan and airflow noise can become more noticeable. Acoustic ducting helps reduce sound transmitted through the ductwork while retaining the flexibility required to route the system around the growing environment.
The 10m length makes this version particularly useful for larger grow rooms, longer extraction routes and installations where the fan or exhaust point is positioned some distance from the growing area.
Building a quieter extraction system
The best results are achieved by considering noise throughout the complete ventilation installation. Sound can originate from the fan motor, vibration, turbulent airflow and air travelling at high velocity through restrictive ductwork.
Acoustic ducting addresses sound transmitted through the duct run, while correctly sized fans and ducting help prevent excessive airflow velocity and resistance.
Where additional noise reduction is required, acoustic ducting can be combined with compatible ventilation silencers, suitable fan-speed control and vibration-isolating mounting methods.
Maintaining airflow through a 10m duct run
Longer duct runs create more resistance than short runs, so installation becomes particularly important when using a substantial length of flexible ducting.
Use only the length required and extend the flexible inner duct sufficiently to avoid unnecessary compression. Excessive internal corrugation, tight bends and crushed sections all increase resistance to airflow.
Keep the route as straight as the installation allows. Where a substantial direction change is required, an appropriately sized rigid metal elbow can provide a cleaner airflow route than forcing the flexible duct around an extremely tight corner.
When planning a long extraction run, remember that carbon filters, silencers, bends, reducers and other fittings also contribute to the total resistance the fan must overcome.
Installing 152mm acoustic ducting
Measure the required route before cutting the duct. The 10m length can be used as a longer continuous run or divided into shorter sections depending on the ventilation layout.
When connecting the ducting to a fan, carbon filter, silencer or rigid fitting, secure the inner duct to the compatible connection using an appropriately sized duct clamp or clip.
Arrange the insulation and outer covering neatly around the joint. Where minimising air leakage is important, suitable HVAC foil tape can also be used as part of the connection and sealing process.
Longer insulated duct runs should be supported at suitable intervals. Avoid allowing the entire weight of the duct to hang directly from an extraction fan, carbon filter or other ventilation component.
Compatible 152mm / 6" ventilation equipment
This ducting is designed for nominal 152mm (6") ventilation installations and can be used alongside appropriately sized components including:
Always check the actual connection diameter of adjoining equipment before installation. Metric and imperial ventilation sizes are frequently used together in product descriptions, but exact connection dimensions can vary slightly between manufacturers.

Unit price per102mm (4") x 10m Mute Silent Ducting is an acoustically insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help reduce fan and airflow noise transmitted through extraction and intake systems.
Ventilation is essential for controlling temperature, humidity and air quality, but conventional flexible ducting can transmit noise generated by extraction fans and fast-moving air. This insulated ducting provides a practical solution for installations where quieter ventilation is required.
The flexible inner airflow duct is surrounded by an acoustic insulation layer that helps absorb transmitted sound. This makes it particularly useful in grow rooms, grow tents and other indoor horticultural environments where extraction equipment may operate for extended periods.
Supplied as a generous 10 metre length, this 102mm version can be used as a continuous duct run or cut into shorter sections to suit the ventilation layout. It is designed for use with compatible 4-inch extraction fans, carbon filters and ventilation fittings.
Why choose 102mm acoustic silent ducting?
How does acoustic ducting help reduce noise?
An extraction system can produce noise from the fan motor, vibration and the movement of air through filters, ducting and fittings. Some of this sound can travel along ordinary ductwork and become noticeable at the intake or exhaust end of the system.
Acoustic ducting surrounds the flexible inner air passage with insulation. This layer helps absorb sound transmitted through the duct rather than allowing it to travel as freely along the ventilation route.
It can be particularly useful on duct runs immediately before or after an extraction fan, between compatible ventilation components and along exhaust routes where reducing transmitted ventilation noise is desirable.
Acoustic ducting is designed to reduce transmitted noise rather than make a ventilation system completely silent. Fan design, airflow velocity, vibration, duct routing and the overall extraction system will all affect the final noise level.
Quieter grow room and grow tent ventilation
In an indoor growing environment, extraction systems may run for long periods to manage heat and humidity and maintain a regular exchange of air. This can make ventilation noise one of the most noticeable parts of the environmental control system.
Acoustic ducting is a straightforward way of addressing noise transmitted through the ductwork without changing the basic operation of the extraction system.
The 102mm / 4" diameter is particularly suited to compatible smaller ventilation installations, while the 10m length provides additional flexibility for longer routes or installations requiring several individual sections of duct.
Getting the best airflow from flexible ducting
Correct installation is important because every length of ducting and every bend adds resistance to the ventilation system. The more resistance the fan has to overcome, the lower its effective airflow can become.
Extend flexible ducting sufficiently for the required route rather than leaving large sections heavily compressed. This reduces unnecessary internal corrugation and creates a smoother path for moving air.
Keep the route as direct as practical and avoid crushing the duct or introducing unnecessary tight bends. Where a major change in direction is required, a smooth bend generally provides a better airflow path than sharply folding the flexible duct.
A 10m roll does not need to be used in its entirety. If the installation only requires a shorter route, cutting the duct to the appropriate length can help avoid unnecessary resistance.
Installing 102mm Mute Silent Ducting
Plan the ventilation route before installation and determine how much ducting is actually required. The 10m roll can then be cut into the appropriate lengths for the system.
When connecting the duct to a compatible fan, carbon filter or rigid fitting, secure the inner flexible duct around the connection using an appropriately sized duct clamp or clip.
Arrange the insulation and outer covering neatly around the completed connection. Suitable HVAC foil tape can also be used where additional sealing is required.
Longer sections should be adequately supported. Avoid allowing the full weight of a long insulated duct run to hang directly from the extraction fan, carbon filter or another ventilation component.
Compatible 102mm / 4" ventilation equipment
This ducting can be incorporated into appropriately sized ventilation systems using components such as:
Always check the actual connection diameter of adjoining equipment before installation. Nominal metric and imperial ventilation sizes are commonly used together, but exact connection dimensions can vary slightly between products.

Yes. It can be connected to compatible 102mm / 4" carbon filters as part of an appropriately designed extraction system. Is acoustic ducting suitable for grow tents?
Yes. It is particularly useful where reducing the amount of ventilation noise transmitted through grow tent ducting is important. Will it make my extraction fan silent?
No. Acoustic ducting helps reduce sound transmitted through the ductwork, but it cannot eliminate fan motor noise, vibration or all airflow noise. Is acoustic ducting quieter than standard flexible ducting?
Its insulated construction is specifically intended to reduce transmitted ventilation sound compared with basic uninsulated flexible ducting. Can I cut the 10m roll into shorter lengths?
Yes. The duct can be cut to suit the individual ventilation layout, making a 10m roll useful for either a longer route or several shorter sections. Can this ducting be used for intake air?
Yes. It can be used in compatible air-intake installations as well as extraction systems. Can it be used with a ventilation silencer?
Yes. Acoustic ducting can be combined with a compatible silencer where additional control of transmitted ventilation noise is required. Does flexible ducting affect airflow?

Only if the installation requires it. Using the shortest practical duct route generally helps minimise airflow resistance. Can the ducting be bent around obstacles?
Yes. The flexible construction allows it to be routed around equipment, although sharp bends and crushed sections should be avoided. How should the ducting be attached to ventilation equipment?
The inner duct should be secured to the compatible connection using an appropriately sized duct clamp or clip. Suitable HVAC foil tape can be used where additional sealing is required. How else can I reduce extraction-system noise?

Unit price per254mm (10") x 5m Mute Silent Ducting is an acoustically insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help reduce fan and airflow noise in powerful extraction and intake systems.
High-capacity ventilation equipment can generate significant noise from the fan itself and from fast-moving air travelling through the ductwork. This insulated ducting provides a practical solution where quieter ventilation is required without sacrificing the flexibility of conventional flexible duct.
The flexible inner airflow duct is surrounded by an acoustic insulation layer that helps absorb sound transmitted along the ventilation system. It is particularly useful in grow rooms and indoor horticultural environments where extraction equipment may operate for extended periods.
Supplied in a 5 metre length with a nominal 254mm / 10" diameter, it is suitable for compatible 10-inch fans, carbon filters and ventilation fittings and can be cut to the required length during installation.
Why choose 254mm acoustic silent ducting?
How does acoustic ducting reduce ventilation noise?
Noise from an extraction system does not only come directly from the fan. Fan noise, vibration and turbulent airflow can travel along ordinary ductwork, allowing sound to become noticeable elsewhere in the installation.
Acoustic ducting surrounds the flexible inner air passage with an insulating layer designed to absorb transmitted sound. This helps reduce the amount of fan and airflow noise travelling through the duct run.
It can be particularly effective when used immediately before or after an extraction fan, between a fan and carbon filter, or along duct runs where ventilation noise needs to be controlled.
Acoustic ducting is intended to reduce transmitted noise rather than make an extraction system completely silent. Fan type, speed, vibration, airflow velocity and installation quality will all influence the final sound level.
Ideal for 10-inch grow room ventilation systems
Larger grow rooms and indoor horticultural environments often require powerful ventilation to remove excess heat and humidity and maintain regular air exchange. As fan capacity increases, controlling ventilation noise becomes increasingly important.
The 254mm / 10" diameter makes this ducting suitable for compatible high-volume extraction and intake equipment, while its insulated construction helps reduce the sound transmitted through the ductwork.
It can be used as part of a complete ventilation system incorporating an inline fan, carbon filter, metal duct fittings, reducers and other appropriately sized components.
Getting the best airflow from flexible ducting
Good duct installation is important for maintaining the performance of an extraction fan. Every length of ducting, bend and fitting introduces some resistance to airflow.
Extend the duct sufficiently rather than leaving unnecessary sections heavily compressed. This provides a smoother internal airflow path and helps reduce avoidable resistance.
Keep the ventilation route as short and direct as practical and avoid crushing the duct or creating unnecessarily tight bends. Gradual changes in direction are preferable to sharp turns.
The supplied 5m length does not need to be used in full. Cutting it to the length actually required can help create a cleaner and more efficient installation.
Installing 254mm Mute Silent Ducting
Before installation, check that the fan, carbon filter and other fittings are compatible with the nominal 254mm / 10" duct size.
Fit the flexible inner duct securely around the ventilation connection and fasten it using a suitably sized duct clamp or fixing. HVAC foil tape can also be used where additional sealing is required.
Arrange the acoustic insulation and outer covering neatly around the completed connection so that the insulating layer remains as continuous as practical.
Longer sections should be supported appropriately along the route. Avoid allowing the full weight of the ducting to hang directly from an extraction fan, carbon filter or other ventilation component.
Compatible ventilation equipment
254mm acoustic ducting can be incorporated into appropriately sized ventilation systems using components such as:
Always check the actual connection diameter of individual components before installation, as dimensions can vary slightly between different ventilation equipment manufacturers.

Yes. It can be used with a compatible 254mm / 10" carbon filter as part of a correctly sized extraction system. Does acoustic ducting make a fan silent?
No. It helps reduce noise transmitted through the ductwork but cannot completely eliminate fan motor noise, vibration or airflow noise. Is acoustic ducting quieter than standard flexible ducting?
Its insulated construction is specifically intended to reduce transmitted ventilation noise compared with basic uninsulated flexible ducting. Can it be used for both extraction and intake?
Yes. The ducting can be incorporated into compatible extraction or fresh-air intake systems. Can the 5m duct be cut into shorter sections?
Yes. It can be cut to suit the required installation, allowing one length to be divided into several sections if necessary. Should I use the entire 5m length?
Only if required. Keeping duct runs reasonably short and direct generally helps reduce resistance and maintain ventilation performance. Does long ducting reduce fan airflow?
Every duct run introduces resistance. Longer routes, tight bends and additional fittings can increase this resistance and reduce the effective airflow delivered by the system. Do bends in flexible ducting affect airflow?
Yes. Sharp bends increase resistance, so gradual changes in direction are preferable wherever the installation allows. Should acoustic ducting be stretched out?
It should be extended sufficiently for the installation rather than left heavily compressed, helping provide a smoother path for airflow. Where should acoustic ducting be positioned?
It can be used throughout a compatible ventilation route. Sections close to powerful extraction fans can be particularly useful for reducing sound transmitted into the duct system. Does 10-inch acoustic ducting need supporting?
Long runs should be adequately supported so the weight of the duct is not carried entirely by the fan, filter or connecting fittings. How else can I make a grow room extraction system quieter?
Good duct routing, correctly sized ventilation equipment, vibration isolation, suitable fan-speed control and ventilation silencers can all help reduce overall system noise.

Make sure the cushioned inner lining sits correctly around the connection before tightening the clamp. Tighten the fixings evenly until the components are held securely in position.
Avoid excessive tightening beyond what is required to produce a secure connection. Fans, filters and other substantial ventilation equipment should be independently supported rather than relying on the Fast Clamp to carry their weight.

Unit price perThe K-Line+ 12.5" Silent EC Fan combines powerful 3200m³/h airflow with an acoustically treated cylindrical housing and energy-efficient EC fan technology, providing high-capacity ventilation with reduced operating noise.
Designed for demanding extraction and air-movement applications, this larger K-Line+ model delivers a maximum airflow of 3200m³/h through a 12.5" duct connection. It is particularly well suited to larger controlled horticultural environments where substantial airflow is required but fan noise needs to be kept under control.
Unlike a conventional inline fan installed inside a separate silencer, the K-Line+ combines the fan and acoustic treatment within one compact cylindrical assembly. This helps reduce the amount of additional ventilation equipment required while keeping installation straightforward.
At the centre of the unit is an electronically commutated EC fan. EC technology combines efficient motor operation with variable-speed capability, allowing airflow to be matched more closely to the requirements of the ventilation system rather than continually operating at maximum output.
Why choose the K-Line+ 12.5" Silent EC Fan?
High airflow without a conventional bare fan housing
High-capacity ventilation fans can generate noise from several sources, including the motor, impeller, moving air and vibration transferred into the connected ductwork.
The K-Line+ is designed specifically as a silenced inline fan. The fan assembly sits within the larger cylindrical acoustic housing rather than using the compact exposed casing typically found on a conventional inline fan.
This construction helps reduce fan noise at source while maintaining a straight-through ventilation path. For installations where noise control is important, it can be combined with acoustic ducting, vibration-isolating connectors and correctly supported duct runs to further reduce noise transmission through the ventilation system.
As with any high-output ventilation fan, the K-Line+ should not be considered completely silent. Airflow noise will still depend on fan speed, duct diameter, restrictions and the design of the complete ventilation system.
Efficient EC fan technology
EC stands for electronically commutated. An EC fan uses integrated electronic motor control rather than the simpler motor technology found in many traditional AC ventilation fans.
One of the major advantages is efficient variable-speed operation. Instead of treating the fan simply as an on/off device, a compatible control system can reduce airflow when full extraction capacity is unnecessary and increase it as ventilation demand rises.
This makes EC ventilation particularly useful in controlled environments where airflow requirements change with temperature, humidity, lighting load, crop development and seasonal conditions.
3200m³/h maximum airflow
With a rated maximum airflow of 3200 cubic metres per hour, this 12.5" K-Line+ is intended for applications requiring substantial air exchange.
The quoted figure represents the fan's maximum nominal airflow. Actual airflow through an installed ventilation system will normally be lower because every component introduces resistance.
Carbon filters, long duct runs, bends, reducers, silencers, intake restrictions and compressed flexible ducting can all reduce the volume of air delivered by the complete system.
When specifying ventilation, the fan should therefore be selected according to the resistance and required operating airflow of the complete installation rather than simply matching the room volume to the fan's maximum free-air rating.
12.5" high-capacity duct connection
The K-Line+ 3200m³/h model is designed around a 12.5" nominal duct connection, placing it firmly in the high-airflow end of an environmental ventilation system.
Keeping the ductwork at the correct diameter helps minimise unnecessary static pressure and air velocity. Reducing immediately into substantially smaller ducting can restrict airflow and increase turbulence and noise.
For best performance, use appropriately sized ducting and fittings, keep the route as short and direct as practical, and avoid unnecessary tight bends.
Building a quieter ventilation system
A silenced fan can significantly improve the acoustic performance of a ventilation system, but the complete installation determines the final noise level.
Correct system design can reduce turbulence, restriction and vibration while allowing the EC fan to deliver the required airflow at the lowest practical operating speed.
Using the K-Line+ with a carbon filter
The K-Line+ can be incorporated into a filtered extraction system using a suitably sized carbon filter and compatible ductwork.
The filter must be capable of handling the required airflow. An undersized filter can create excessive resistance, reducing extraction performance and potentially increasing airflow noise.
Remember that the fan's 3200m³/h rating is its maximum nominal airflow rather than a guarantee of 3200m³/h through a filter and complete duct system. Filter resistance should be considered when sizing the installation.

K-Line+ 12.5" Silent EC Fan FAQs
What is the airflow of the K-Line+ 12.5" Silent EC Fan?
The 12.5" K-Line+ is rated at a maximum airflow of 3200m³/h, making it suitable for high-capacity ventilation applications. Is the K-Line+ 3200m³/h fan completely silent?
No high-output ventilation fan is completely silent. The K-Line+ uses a silenced construction designed to reduce operating noise, but the final sound level will also depend on fan speed, ductwork, filters, airflow restrictions and installation method. What does EC mean on the K-Line+ fan?
EC means electronically commutated. EC motors use integrated electronics to provide efficient operation and variable-speed capability. Can the K-Line+ EC fan be speed controlled?
EC fan technology is designed for variable-speed operation. The control method used must be electrically compatible with the specific fan and its control interface. What size ducting should I use with the 12.5" K-Line+?
Use ducting and fittings matched to the fan's nominal 12.5" connection wherever practical. Maintaining the correct diameter helps reduce unnecessary restriction, turbulence and airflow noise. Can the K-Line+ be used with acoustic ducting?
Yes. Acoustic insulated ducting can be used as part of a low-noise ventilation installation and can help reduce noise transmitted along the duct run. Can the K-Line+ be connected to a carbon filter?
Yes. A suitable carbon filter can be incorporated into the extraction system, but it should be correctly sized for the required airflow and its resistance should be considered when specifying the fan. Will I get exactly 3200m³/h through a carbon filter?
Not normally. The 3200m³/h figure is the fan's maximum nominal airflow. Filters, ducting, bends and other restrictions create resistance and reduce the airflow delivered by the complete installed system. Do bends in ducting reduce airflow?
Yes. Bends increase resistance and turbulence, particularly when they are tight or numerous. Keeping the duct route short and direct helps preserve airflow and reduce noise. Why use a larger 12.5" ventilation connection?
A larger duct diameter allows substantial volumes of air to be moved without forcing the same airflow through a much smaller cross-sectional area. Correctly sized ducting can therefore help reduce restriction and excessive air velocity. Can I reduce the K-Line+ into smaller ducting?
A suitable reducer can be used where necessary, but reducing duct diameter increases system resistance and may reduce airflow while increasing turbulence and noise. Keep the full fan diameter for as much of the system as practical. Can the K-Line+ be used as an intake fan?
It can form part of an intake or extraction ventilation system where its airflow, direction, duct size and control requirements are appropriate for the installation. How can I make a K-Line+ installation quieter?
Use correctly sized ducting, minimise sharp bends and restrictions, consider acoustic ducting, isolate vibration where practical and operate the EC fan at the lowest speed that still provides the required environmental airflow. Is the 3200m³/h K-Line+ suitable for larger controlled environments?
Yes. Its high maximum airflow makes it particularly suited to larger controlled horticultural environments and ventilation systems where a smaller inline fan cannot provide sufficient air movement. How many K-Line+ 12.5" fans are on a pallet?

Unit price perThe K-Line+ 10" Silent EC Fan combines powerful 2300m³/h airflow with an acoustically treated cylindrical housing and energy-efficient EC fan technology, providing high-capacity ventilation with reduced operating noise.
Designed for demanding extraction and air-movement applications, this K-Line+ model delivers a maximum airflow of 2300m³/h through a 10" duct connection. It provides substantial ventilation capacity for larger controlled horticultural environments while keeping fan noise under control.
The K-Line+ combines the fan and acoustic treatment within one compact inline assembly. This reduces the need to install a conventional exposed inline fan inside a separate acoustic enclosure and provides a clean, straightforward solution for high-airflow ventilation systems.
At the centre of the unit is an electronically commutated EC fan. EC technology provides efficient motor operation together with variable-speed capability, allowing airflow to be adjusted to suit the ventilation demand rather than continually operating at maximum output.
Why choose the K-Line+ 10" Silent EC Fan?
High airflow with reduced fan noise
High-output ventilation can generate significant noise from the fan motor, impeller, airflow turbulence and vibration transmitted into connected ductwork.
The K-Line+ is designed specifically as a silenced inline fan. Its fan assembly is contained within a larger cylindrical acoustic housing rather than relying on the compact exposed casing found on many conventional inline fans.
This construction helps reduce fan noise at source while maintaining the straight-through airflow path required for an efficient ducted ventilation system.
For installations where acoustic performance is particularly important, the fan can be combined with insulated acoustic ducting, vibration-reducing connectors and correctly supported ductwork to further reduce noise transmission.
No high-capacity ventilation fan is completely silent. The final sound level will depend on fan speed, airflow, ducting, filters, bends, restrictions and the way the complete ventilation system is installed.
Efficient EC fan technology
EC stands for electronically commutated. EC motors use integrated electronic control to provide efficient operation and effective variable-speed performance.
This is particularly useful in controlled horticultural environments because maximum extraction is not necessarily required continuously. Ventilation demand can change throughout the day as temperature, humidity, lighting load and external conditions change.
With an appropriate compatible control method, the K-Line+ can be operated at a reduced speed when ventilation demand is lower and increased when additional airflow is required.
Running the fan only as hard as necessary can also help reduce airflow noise compared with operating a high-capacity ventilation system continuously at full output.
2300m³/h maximum airflow
The 10" K-Line+ provides a maximum nominal airflow of 2300 cubic metres per hour, giving it the capacity required for substantial extraction and air-exchange systems.
Maximum fan airflow should not be confused with the airflow that will necessarily be achieved once the fan is installed. Every component within a ventilation system introduces resistance.
Carbon filters, long duct runs, bends, reducers, silencers, intake restrictions and compressed flexible ducting can all reduce actual airflow.
When specifying a ventilation system, consider both the required air-exchange rate and the resistance created by the complete installation.
10" high-airflow duct connection
This K-Line+ model is designed around a 10" nominal duct connection, making it suitable for ventilation systems where substantial volumes of air need to be moved efficiently.
Maintaining the correct duct diameter helps minimise unnecessary static pressure and excessive air velocity. Reducing immediately into significantly smaller ductwork can restrict the system, lower airflow and increase turbulence and noise.
For best performance, use correctly sized ducting and fittings, keep the duct route as short and direct as practical and minimise unnecessary tight bends.
Suitable for filtered extraction systems
The K-Line+ can be incorporated into a filtered extraction system using an appropriately sized carbon filter and compatible ductwork.
Filter capacity is important. An undersized filter can create excessive resistance, significantly reducing airflow through the installation and potentially increasing fan and airflow noise.
The fan's 2300m³/h figure is its maximum nominal airflow. Actual airflow through a carbon filter and complete duct system will normally be lower, so the resistance of the filter and ductwork should be considered when sizing the system.
Getting the best performance from the K-Line+
A well-designed ventilation system reduces unnecessary resistance and allows the fan to provide the required environmental airflow at the lowest practical operating speed.

K-Line+ 10" Silent EC Fan FAQs
What is the airflow of the K-Line+ 10" Silent EC Fan?
The 10" K-Line+ is rated at a maximum airflow of 2300m³/h. Is the K-Line+ 2300m³/h fan completely silent?
No. The K-Line+ uses an acoustically treated construction to reduce operating noise, but any high-output ventilation system will still produce some fan and airflow noise. What does EC mean?
EC stands for electronically commutated. This motor technology provides efficient operation and allows effective variable-speed control when used with an appropriate compatible controller. Can the K-Line+ 10" EC fan be speed controlled?
Yes. EC fan technology supports variable-speed operation, although the controller and control method must be compatible with the fan. What size ducting should I use with this K-Line+ fan?
Use ducting and fittings matched to the fan's nominal 10" connection wherever practical. Correctly sized ductwork helps minimise restriction, turbulence and excessive airflow noise. Can I use acoustic ducting with the K-Line+?
Yes. Acoustic insulated ducting can complement the fan's silenced construction by helping reduce noise transmitted along the ventilation system. Can the K-Line+ be connected to a carbon filter?
Yes. The fan can form part of a filtered extraction system when used with an appropriately sized carbon filter and compatible ductwork. Will a carbon filter reduce the 2300m³/h airflow?
Yes. A carbon filter creates resistance, so actual installed airflow will be lower than the fan's maximum nominal airflow. The amount of reduction depends on the filter and the rest of the ventilation system. Do duct bends reduce airflow?
Yes. Bends increase resistance and turbulence. Keeping the duct route as straight and direct as practical helps preserve airflow and reduce unnecessary noise. Can I reduce the fan into smaller ducting?
A suitable reducer can be used where necessary, but reducing the duct diameter increases resistance and can reduce airflow while increasing air velocity and noise. Can the K-Line+ 2300m³/h fan be used for intake?
Yes. It can form part of either an intake or extraction system where the required airflow, duct sizing and installation design are appropriate. How can I reduce ventilation noise further?
Use correctly sized ducting, minimise bends and restrictions, consider acoustic ducting, isolate vibration where practical and use compatible EC speed control so the fan does not operate faster than necessary. Is 2300m³/h the actual airflow after installation?
Not necessarily. 2300m³/h is the maximum nominal fan airflow. Filters, duct length, bends, reducers and other restrictions will affect the actual airflow delivered by the installed system. Is this fan suitable for larger controlled horticultural environments?
Yes. Its combination of 2300m³/h maximum airflow, 10" connection, EC technology and silenced construction makes it well suited to larger controlled environments requiring substantial ventilation. How many K-Line+ 10" 2300m³/h fans are on a pallet?

Unit price perThe 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.
Why choose the Krystal 8" Carbon Filter?
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.
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 size is this Krystal carbon filter?
This model has a 200mm / 8" connection and a 600mm filter body. 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.

Unit price perThe Krystal 5" Carbon Filter 125mm x 300mm is a compact 500m³/h air filter filled with 100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon for effective odour control in filtered extraction systems.
Combining a 125mm / 5" connection, 300mm filter body and 500m³/h airflow rating, this model provides effective carbon filtration in a relatively compact format. It is particularly useful where available installation space is limited but dependable odour filtration is still required.
Krystal Carbon Filters use 100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon. Its highly porous structure creates an enormous internal surface area, allowing odour-causing gaseous compounds to adsorb onto the carbon as extracted air passes through the filter.
A lightweight aluminium housing helps keep installation weight manageable, while the open-area mesh allows air to enter across the cylindrical filter surface before passing through the activated carbon bed.
Why choose the Krystal 5" Carbon Filter?
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.
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.

The Krystal 125mm x 300mm Carbon Filter is rated at 500m³/h. What activated carbon does this Krystal filter use?
It is produced using 100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon. What does RC412 activated carbon do?
Its porous structure provides a very large internal surface area onto which suitable gaseous odour compounds can adsorb as extracted air passes through the carbon bed. What size ducting should I use?
The filter has a nominal 125mm / 5" connection, so matching 125mm ducting and fittings should be used wherever practical. What extraction fan should I use?
Select a compatible fan according to the filter's 500m³/h airflow rating, the required ventilation rate and resistance from the complete duct system. Will the carbon filter reduce fan airflow?
Yes. The carbon bed creates airflow resistance, so installed fan performance will normally be lower than its unrestricted maximum airflow rating. Can I use a variable-speed fan?
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.

Unit price perThe U-GO 8" 200mm EC Extraction Fan delivers up to 1230m³/h of airflow using an efficient 9-pole digital EC brushless motor, with a detachable digital thermostatic controller included as standard for variable-speed and temperature-responsive ventilation control.
Designed for powerful but controllable air movement, the U-GO combines a 200mm / 8" connection with 1230m³/h maximum airflow. Its EC motor technology provides efficient variable-speed operation while producing the static pressure required to work effectively within real ventilation systems containing ducting, bends and carbon filters.
Unlike a basic fixed-speed extraction fan, the U-GO is supplied with its own detachable digital controller. This provides fully variable fan-speed control together with thermostatic temperature control, allowing ventilation to respond more closely to changing environmental conditions.
The fan is built around a sturdy steel housing with ABEC 7 ball bearings and is also compatible with external 0-10V control via RJ9 or RJ11 connection, providing additional options when integrating it into a more advanced environmental-control system.
Why choose the U-GO 8" EC Extraction Fan?
9-pole digital EC brushless motor
At the centre of the U-GO is a 9-pole digital EC brushless motor. EC stands for electronically commutated, combining a brushless motor design with electronic control.
This technology is particularly well suited to environmental ventilation because fan speed can be varied efficiently rather than relying solely on full-power operation.
U-GO states a fan efficiency of 7.85 CFM per watt, with the design intended to provide both strong linear airflow and static-pressure performance.
Static pressure becomes particularly important once a fan is connected to real ventilation equipment. Carbon filters, ducting, bends and other components all resist airflow, so a fan's ability to maintain useful airflow against resistance matters as much as its unrestricted maximum airflow figure.
Digital thermostatic controller included
Every U-GO fan is supplied with a detachable digital controller, giving the user direct control over fan operation without needing to purchase a separate basic speed controller.
The controller provides fully variable speed adjustment and thermostatic temperature control. This allows ventilation to be configured around the required environment rather than simply running the extraction fan at maximum speed continuously.
When environmental demand is lower, reducing fan speed can decrease unnecessary airflow, electrical consumption and ventilation noise. As additional cooling or air exchange becomes necessary, fan output can be increased.
This makes the U-GO particularly useful where ventilation requirements vary as lighting load, external temperature and other environmental conditions change.
1230m³/h high-airflow ventilation
The 8" U-GO provides a maximum airflow of 1230 cubic metres per hour, making it suitable for substantial intake or extraction applications.
Maximum airflow figures describe fan performance under defined conditions and should not be confused with the airflow that will necessarily be achieved after installation.
Carbon filters, long duct runs, tight bends, reducers, silencers and compressed flexible ducting all introduce resistance and can reduce actual system airflow.
Keeping the ventilation route short, correctly sized and as direct as practical helps the U-GO make better use of its available airflow and static-pressure capability.
0-10V environmental controller compatibility
In addition to its supplied digital controller, the U-GO supports 0-10V external control via RJ9 or RJ11 connection.
A 0-10V control signal allows compatible environmental-control equipment to regulate EC fan speed without controlling the fan by simply reducing its mains supply.
This provides scope for integrating the fan into more advanced ventilation strategies where compatible equipment is being used.
Always confirm the connection, control signal and cable requirements of the external controller before connecting third-party environmental-control equipment.
Ideal for carbon-filtered extraction
The U-GO's combination of high airflow and static-pressure performance makes it well suited to carbon-filtered extraction systems.
A carbon filter naturally creates resistance as air is pulled through the activated carbon bed. The fan therefore needs enough pressure capability to maintain the required ventilation rate once the filter is installed.
For best results, match the fan with a carbon filter of suitable airflow capacity and connection diameter. A variable-speed EC fan is particularly useful because airflow can then be adjusted to suit both the filter and the environmental requirement.
Getting the best performance from the U-GO 200mm Fan
Correct ventilation design allows the fan to provide the required air exchange at the lowest practical operating speed, helping balance environmental control, energy use and noise.

Yes. The supplied controller provides fully variable fan-speed control, allowing airflow to be adjusted to the requirements of the ventilation system. Does the controller respond to temperature?
Yes. The supplied digital controller provides thermostatic temperature control as well as variable fan-speed adjustment. What does EC mean?
EC stands for electronically commutated. The U-GO uses a 9-pole digital EC brushless motor designed for efficient and controllable fan operation. How efficient is the U-GO EC fan?
U-GO states fan efficiency at 7.85 CFM per watt for this EC fan range. Can I use an external 0-10V controller?
Yes. The U-GO is compatible with 0-10V control via an appropriate RJ9 or RJ11 connection. Always check the requirements of the external controller and cable before connection. Can I connect the U-GO to a carbon filter?
Yes. Its airflow and static-pressure capability make it suitable for carbon-filtered extraction when paired with an appropriately sized filter. What size carbon filter should I use?
Ideally use a 200mm / 8" carbon filter with airflow capacity appropriate to the fan and required ventilation rate. Filter resistance should also be considered when sizing the complete system. Will a carbon filter reduce the fan's 1230m³/h airflow?
Yes. A carbon filter creates resistance, so actual installed airflow will normally be lower than the fan's unrestricted maximum airflow rating. What size ducting does the U-GO 8" fan require?
The fan has a nominal 200mm / 8" connection, so matching 200mm ducting and fittings should be used wherever practical. Can I reduce the U-GO fan into smaller ducting?
A reducer can be used where necessary, but reducing duct diameter increases system resistance and air velocity and can reduce overall airflow. What are ABEC 7 ball bearings?
The U-GO motor assembly uses ABEC 7 ball bearings, providing a precision bearing system for smooth fan operation. Can the U-GO be used as an intake fan?
Yes. The fan can be incorporated into appropriately designed intake or extraction ventilation systems. How can I get the best airflow from the U-GO fan?
Use correctly sized 200mm ducting, minimise tight bends and restrictions, avoid compressed flexible ducting and ensure filters and other ventilation components are appropriately sized for the required airflow.

Designed for high-capacity ventilation systems, the U-GO combines a 250mm / 10" connection with 1840m³/h maximum airflow. Its EC motor technology provides efficient variable-speed operation together with strong static-pressure performance for installations containing carbon filters, ducting and other airflow restrictions.
A detachable digital controller is included, providing both variable fan-speed adjustment and thermostatic control. This allows ventilation to be matched more closely to changing environmental conditions instead of operating the fan continuously at maximum output.
The fan features a sturdy steel housing and ABEC 7 ball bearings. It is also compatible with external 0-10V control via RJ9 or RJ11 connection, providing additional flexibility for integration with suitable environmental-control equipment.
Why choose the U-GO 10" EC Extraction Fan?
9-pole digital EC brushless motor
The U-GO uses a 9-pole digital EC brushless motor. EC, or electronically commutated, technology combines a brushless motor with electronic control to provide efficient variable-speed operation.
Variable-speed capability is particularly useful in controlled environments because maximum ventilation is not required continuously. Temperature and air-exchange requirements can change considerably throughout the day.
U-GO states a fan efficiency of 7.85 CFM per watt, with the fan designed to provide strong linear airflow together with useful static-pressure performance.
Static pressure is especially important once a fan is installed in a real ventilation system. Carbon filters, long duct runs, bends and other components all create resistance that the fan must overcome to maintain airflow.
Digital thermostatic controller included
The U-GO 250mm EC Fan is supplied with its own detachable digital controller, allowing fan speed and temperature-responsive ventilation to be managed without purchasing a separate basic speed controller.
Fully variable speed control allows the airflow to be reduced when maximum extraction is unnecessary and increased as ventilation demand rises.
Thermostatic control adds another level of automation by allowing ventilation to respond to environmental temperature.
Operating the fan only as hard as necessary can help reduce unnecessary energy consumption, airflow noise and excessive air exchange while maintaining the required environmental conditions.
1840m³/h high-capacity airflow
With a maximum airflow of 1840 cubic metres per hour, this 10" U-GO is designed for larger ventilation applications requiring substantial air movement.
Maximum airflow is not the same as the airflow that will necessarily be achieved once the fan is installed. Every component added to the system introduces some degree of resistance.
Carbon filters, silencers, duct length, bends, reducers and compressed flexible ducting can all lower the actual airflow delivered by the complete installation.
Keeping ductwork correctly sized, reasonably straight and free from unnecessary restrictions allows the fan to make better use of its available airflow and pressure capability.
250mm / 10" ventilation connection
The fan uses a nominal 250mm / 10" connection for integration with compatible high-airflow ducting, carbon filters and ventilation fittings.
Maintaining the 250mm diameter throughout as much of the system as practical helps minimise unnecessary static pressure and excessive air velocity.
Reducing immediately into substantially smaller ducting can restrict airflow and increase turbulence and noise, limiting the performance available from a high-capacity fan.
0-10V environmental controller compatibility
In addition to the supplied digital controller, the U-GO supports 0-10V external control via RJ9 or RJ11 connection.
A compatible 0-10V controller can regulate the EC fan through a low-voltage control signal rather than attempting to regulate fan speed by altering its mains power supply.
This provides additional options for integrating the U-GO into compatible environmental-control systems where centralised or automated fan-speed control is required.
Always confirm controller compatibility, cable configuration and control-signal requirements before connecting third-party equipment.
Excellent choice for carbon-filtered extraction
High-capacity carbon filters create significant resistance as air is drawn through the activated carbon bed. The extraction fan therefore needs both sufficient airflow and useful static-pressure capability.
The U-GO's combination of 1840m³/h maximum airflow, EC speed control and strong static-pressure performance makes it well suited to larger filtered extraction systems.
Ideally, use a carbon filter with a matching 250mm connection and an airflow rating appropriate to the fan's operating airflow.
Because the U-GO is fully variable, its output can be adjusted to match the carbon filter and environmental requirement rather than simply operating continuously at maximum speed.
Getting the best performance from the U-GO 250mm Fan
A properly designed ventilation system allows the fan to provide the required air exchange at the lowest practical operating speed, helping balance airflow, environmental stability, energy use and noise.

Unit price perThe 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 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.
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.

What size is this U-GO Carbon Filter?
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.

Activated carbon is a natural material, which means its quality, particle characteristics and adsorption performance can vary from batch to batch. U-GO takes a selective approach to the carbon used inside 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 rather than used within the finished filter.
With a substantial 315mm / 12.5" connection and 600mm filter body, this model is designed for high-airflow extraction systems where effective odour control needs to be combined with minimal unnecessary airflow restriction.
Why choose the U-GO 12.5" Carbon Filter?
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.
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.

What size is this U-GO Carbon Filter?
This model has a nominal 315mm / 12.5" connection and a 600mm filter body. 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 inside the filter. Carbon 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 can vary between batches. U-GO states that it selects only the premium 20% of carbon produced for use within its filters. Is U-GO activated 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 minimum 20% butane adsorption specification?
U-GO specifies a minimum 20% butane adsorption requirement as part of its carbon quality testing, with material that fails the required standard rejected. Why does activated carbon particle size matter?
Particle characteristics influence both adsorption and airflow through the carbon bed. Excessively fine or dusty carbon can create unnecessary airflow resistance. Does U-GO de-dust its carbon?
Yes. De-dusting forms part of U-GO's stated carbon selection and preparation process. What size ducting should I use?
This filter has a nominal 315mm / 12.5" connection, so matching 315mm ducting and fittings should be used wherever practical. Can I use this filter with a 315mm extraction fan?
Yes. It is designed for integration into a 315mm ventilation system. The fan and filter should also be appropriately matched for the required airflow and resistance of the complete system. Will a carbon filter reduce extraction airflow?
Yes. Every carbon filter creates some resistance. U-GO's selected carbon grade is intended to maintain strong airflow while providing effective activated carbon 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 system resistance and can reduce overall airflow. How does the U-GO Carbon Filter 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.

Unit price perThe U-GO Carbon Filter 10" 250mm x 600mm is a high-capacity activated carbon air filter built around carefully selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon, combining effective odour adsorption with strong airflow and low restriction.
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 the carbon used within 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 rather than used within the finished filter.
With a 250mm / 10" connection and 600mm filter body, this model is designed for larger extraction systems where effective odour filtration needs to be combined with efficient movement of air.
Why choose the U-GO 10" Carbon Filter?
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.

Unit price perThe Garden King Ozone Generator is a compact plug-in unit designed for air and odour treatment in small to medium-sized unoccupied spaces. Its simple plug-in design provides a low-maintenance option for treating persistent airborne odours without fragrance gels, aerosol sprays or replaceable carbon filters.
Ozone, or O3, is a highly reactive form of oxygen. Ozone generators use this reactivity to oxidise odour-causing compounds in the surrounding environment, which is why ozone technology is used for specialist odour treatment.
The Garden King unit is compact, almost silent in operation and straightforward to use. It plugs directly into a suitable mains socket, making it convenient where a permanently installed odour-control system is unnecessary.
Why choose the Garden King Ozone Generator?
How does an ozone generator work?
Normal atmospheric oxygen is predominantly O2. An ozone generator converts a proportion of this oxygen into ozone, O3.
Ozone is highly reactive and readily participates in oxidation reactions. When it encounters certain odour-causing compounds, it can chemically alter them, which can reduce or remove the associated smell.
This is fundamentally different from a conventional air freshener. A fragrance product primarily introduces another scent into the environment, while ozone treatment relies on oxidation.
Ozone safety - please read before use
Ozone is not ordinary oxygen and should not be deliberately inhaled. Exposure to elevated ozone concentrations can irritate and damage the respiratory system.
Where can the Garden King Ozone Generator be used?
The unit is intended for odour treatment in appropriate unoccupied spaces. Its compact size makes it particularly useful where a large commercial ozone generator would be unnecessary.
Potential applications include suitable storage areas, utility spaces, garages, workshops and other enclosed environments requiring periodic odour treatment.
Because ozone can be harmful to people and animals, the suitability of the application should always be assessed before use. The manufacturer's operating instructions and all applicable safety precautions take priority.
Odour treatment without masking fragrances
One of the main differences between ozone treatment and conventional air freshening is that ozone does not depend on adding a fragrance to cover an unwanted smell.
Ozone reacts with certain airborne compounds through oxidation. This can make it useful where the objective is treatment of the source compounds responsible for an odour rather than simply introducing a stronger fragrance.
Ozone is not appropriate for every situation, however. For continuously occupied environments, other methods of ventilation, filtration and odour control should be selected instead.
Using ozone around horticultural environments
Ozone generators have historically been used in horticultural applications for odour management, but careful positioning and operation are essential.
Ozone should not be treated as a substitute for correctly designed grow-room ventilation and filtration. Where strong odours are continuously exhausted from an indoor growing area, appropriate extraction and carbon filtration are generally the primary methods of control.
Excessive ozone can also damage plant tissue. Avoid exposing living plants to elevated ozone concentrations and always use the unit in accordance with its supplied instructions.

Garden King Ozone Generator FAQs
What does an ozone generator do?
An ozone generator produces ozone, or O3, which is highly reactive and can oxidise certain compounds responsible for unwanted odours. Does ozone simply cover smells?
No. Unlike a fragranced air freshener, ozone treatment relies on oxidation rather than masking an unwanted smell with another fragrance. Is ozone safe to breathe?
No. Elevated concentrations of ozone are harmful to the respiratory system. People and pets should not be exposed to unsafe ozone concentrations. Can I stay in the room while the ozone generator is operating?
The unit should not be used in a way that exposes occupants to elevated ozone concentrations. Follow the manufacturer's safety instructions and keep people and pets away from the treatment area as required. Should I ventilate a room after ozone treatment?
Yes. Allow the ozone to dissipate and ventilate the treated area thoroughly before people or animals re-enter. Is the Garden King Ozone Generator noisy?
The Garden King unit is designed for almost silent operation. Does the Garden King Ozone Generator require chemicals?
It generates ozone electrically from oxygen in the surrounding air rather than requiring bottled treatment chemicals or fragrances. Is this suitable for large commercial buildings?
This compact Garden King unit is intended for appropriate small to medium-sized areas rather than large-scale commercial ozone treatment. Can ozone replace a carbon filter in a grow room?
Ozone should not be considered a direct replacement for a correctly designed ventilation and carbon-filtration system. The technologies work differently and have different safety considerations. Can ozone damage plants?
Yes. Excessive ozone exposure can damage plant tissue, so living plants should not be exposed to elevated ozone concentrations. Can I use the Garden King Ozone Generator around pets?
Do not expose pets or other animals to elevated ozone concentrations. Animals should be kept away from an area undergoing ozone treatment. Does an ozone generator need replacement filters?
Ozone treatment does not rely on a conventional replaceable carbon filter. Follow the manufacturer's maintenance instructions for the unit itself. What is the smell associated with ozone?
Ozone has a distinctive sharp smell that can sometimes be detected at relatively low concentrations. Smell should never be relied upon as a safety measurement. How many Garden King Ozone Generators are in an outer case?
An outer case contains 80 units.

Unit price per127mm (5") x 10m Mute Silent Ducting is an acoustically insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help reduce fan and airflow noise transmitted through extraction and intake systems.
Ventilation fans are essential for controlling temperature, humidity and air exchange, but the noise they generate can travel through standard ducting. Air movement and turbulence within the duct can also contribute to the overall sound of an extraction system.
Mute Silent Ducting uses an insulated construction around the flexible inner airflow duct to help absorb transmitted sound. It provides a practical alternative to standard uninsulated flexible ducting where quieter ventilation is required.
With a 127mm (5") nominal diameter and 10m length, this version is particularly useful for longer ventilation runs, larger installations or projects requiring several shorter sections of acoustic ducting.
Why choose 127mm acoustic silent ducting?
How does acoustic ducting reduce ventilation noise?
Standard flexible ducting provides an effective route for moving air, but it can also carry sound generated by the fan and turbulent airflow. That sound can travel along the duct and become audible at other points in the ventilation system.
Acoustic ducting surrounds the flexible inner duct with an insulating layer designed to help absorb transmitted sound. This can reduce the amount of fan and airflow noise carried along the duct run.
It is particularly useful on duct sections immediately before or after an extraction fan, between compatible ventilation components and on longer exhaust routes where transmitted noise may otherwise be noticeable.
Acoustic ducting is a noise-reduction component rather than a complete silencing solution. Fan motor noise, vibration, airflow velocity and the design of the overall ventilation system can all influence the final sound level.
Quieter 5-inch grow room ventilation
A correctly designed extraction system helps remove excess heat and humidity while maintaining regular air exchange within an indoor growing environment.
Where the extraction system operates continuously or for extended periods, fan and airflow noise can become particularly noticeable. Using acoustic ducting helps reduce sound transmitted through the ductwork while retaining the flexibility needed for practical grow room installations.
The 10m length is especially useful where the extraction point is positioned some distance from the growing area or where several sections of 127mm acoustic ducting are required within the same installation.
Maintaining airflow through a 10m duct run
Longer duct runs create more airflow resistance than short, direct installations. For this reason, careful routing becomes increasingly important when using a substantial length of flexible ducting.
Use only the length required and extend the duct sufficiently rather than leaving unnecessary sections heavily compressed. This helps reduce excessive internal corrugation and provides a less restrictive path for moving air.
Avoid crushed sections and very tight bends wherever possible. Where a significant change in direction is required, an appropriately sized rigid elbow can provide a cleaner airflow route than forcing flexible ducting around an extremely tight corner.
Carbon filters, silencers, reducers, bends and other fittings also add resistance. The complete duct route should therefore be considered when selecting and setting up an extraction fan.
Installing 127mm Mute Silent Ducting
Measure the required route before cutting the ducting. The full 10m length can be used for a longer continuous run or divided into shorter sections depending on the ventilation layout.
When connecting to a compatible fan, carbon filter, silencer or rigid fitting, secure the inner duct to the connection using an appropriately sized duct clamp or clip.
Arrange the insulation and outer covering neatly around the connection. Suitable HVAC foil tape can also be used where additional sealing is required.
Longer insulated duct runs should be supported at suitable intervals. Avoid allowing the full weight of the ducting to hang directly from a fan, carbon filter or other ventilation component.
Compatible 127mm / 5" ventilation equipment
This ducting is intended for nominal 127mm (5") round ventilation installations and can be used with appropriately sized components including:
Always check the actual connection diameter of adjoining equipment before installation. Nominal metric and imperial ventilation sizes are frequently used together, but exact connection dimensions can vary slightly between manufacturers.

127mm (5") Mute Silent Ducting FAQs
What is acoustic ducting?
Acoustic ducting is flexible ventilation ducting surrounded by insulation designed to help reduce sound transmitted through the ventilation system. What size is this ducting?
It has a nominal diameter of 127mm, approximately 5 inches, and is supplied in a 10m length. Is this suitable for a 5-inch extraction fan?
Yes, provided the fan has a compatible nominal 127mm / 5" connection. Will acoustic ducting completely silence an extraction fan?
No. It helps reduce noise transmitted through the ductwork, but fan motor noise, vibration and airflow can still contribute to the overall sound level. Is acoustic ducting quieter than standard flexible ducting?
Its insulated construction is specifically intended to reduce transmitted sound compared with basic uninsulated flexible ventilation ducting. Can I connect this ducting to a carbon filter?
Yes. It can be used with compatible 127mm / 5" carbon filters, extraction fans and other appropriately sized ventilation components. Can it be used with an acoustic silencer?
Yes. Acoustic ducting and a compatible ventilation silencer can be used together where further reduction of transmitted ventilation noise is required. Can I cut the 10m duct into shorter sections?
Yes. The ducting can be cut to suit the installation using suitable tools, taking care when cutting the flexible inner duct, reinforcement and surrounding insulation. Can this ducting be used for air intake?
Yes. It can be incorporated into compatible intake systems as well as extraction installations. Does a 10m duct run affect airflow?
Longer duct runs create more resistance than short runs. The actual effect depends on the fan, bends, filters and other components, so unnecessary excess ducting should be avoided. Should acoustic ducting be fully extended?
It should be extended sufficiently for the required route rather than left heavily compressed. This helps reduce excessive internal corrugation and unnecessary airflow resistance. Can I bend the ducting around corners?
Yes. Its flexible construction allows changes in direction, although very tight bends that crush or significantly restrict the inner duct should be avoided. How should the ducting be secured?
Secure the inner duct to compatible fittings using an appropriately sized duct clamp or clip. Suitable HVAC foil tape can be added where further sealing is required. Is 127mm acoustic ducting suitable for grow rooms?
Yes. It is particularly useful for indoor horticultural installations using compatible 5-inch extraction equipment where reducing ventilation noise is desirable. How else can I reduce grow room extraction noise?
Use correctly sized ducting, minimise unnecessary bends, isolate fan vibration and consider suitable fan-speed control and compatible acoustic silencers where appropriate.

Unit price per127mm (5") x 5m Mute Silent Ducting is an acoustically insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help reduce fan and airflow noise transmitted through extraction and intake systems.
Standard flexible ducting moves air effectively, but it can also provide a direct route for sound generated by an extraction fan and turbulent airflow. This can make ventilation equipment considerably more noticeable, particularly in enclosed indoor growing environments.
Mute Silent Ducting surrounds the flexible inner airflow duct with acoustic insulation designed to absorb transmitted sound. It is a practical upgrade from standard uninsulated ducting where quieter ventilation is a priority.
With a 127mm (5") nominal diameter and 5m length, it is ideal for compatible 5-inch fans, carbon filters and ventilation equipment used in grow rooms, propagation areas, indoor horticulture, workshops and other ventilation installations.
Why choose 127mm acoustic silent ducting?
How does acoustic ducting work?
Noise within a ventilation system does not come solely from the fan motor. Air moving through the fan, ductwork, filters and fittings can also generate sound, while the duct itself can carry noise from one part of the installation to another.
Acoustic ducting uses an insulating layer around the flexible inner duct to help absorb this transmitted sound. This makes it particularly useful on duct sections immediately before or after an extraction fan and on routes carrying exhaust air away from the growing area.
It can also be used alongside compatible acoustic silencers and suitable fan-speed controllers where a greater level of ventilation noise management is required.
Acoustic ducting reduces transmitted noise rather than making a ventilation system completely silent. Fan motor noise, vibration, airflow velocity and the overall installation all influence the final sound level.
Quieter 5-inch grow room ventilation
Extraction is essential for controlling temperature, humidity and air exchange in indoor growing environments, but continuously operating fans can become one of the most noticeable sources of background noise.
Replacing standard flexible ducting with insulated acoustic ducting helps reduce sound transmitted along the ventilation route while retaining the flexibility needed to install ductwork around grow room equipment.
The 127mm size is suited to compatible 5-inch ventilation systems and provides a useful balance between airflow capacity and physical size for smaller and medium-sized indoor horticultural installations.
Maintaining good airflow
Any ducting system creates some resistance to airflow, and flexible ducting should be installed carefully to avoid adding unnecessary restriction.
Extend the duct sufficiently for the required route rather than leaving large sections heavily compressed. This reduces excessive internal corrugation and provides a smoother route for moving air.
Keep duct runs as short and direct as practical and avoid crushing the duct or creating extremely tight bends. Where a sharp change in direction is required, a compatible rigid metal elbow can provide a cleaner turn.
Carbon filters, silencers, reducers, bends and long duct runs all add resistance to a ventilation system, so the complete installation should be considered when selecting an extraction fan.
Installing 127mm Mute Silent Ducting
Measure the required ventilation route before cutting the ducting. The 5m length can be used as a continuous run or divided into shorter sections depending on the installation.
When connecting to a compatible fan, carbon filter, silencer or rigid fitting, secure the inner duct over the connection using an appropriately sized duct clamp or clip.
Arrange the surrounding insulation and outer covering neatly around the joint. Suitable HVAC foil tape can also be used where additional sealing is required.
Support longer sections of insulated ducting adequately rather than allowing their full weight to hang from a fan, carbon filter or other ventilation component.
Compatible 127mm / 5" ventilation equipment
This ducting is intended for nominal 127mm (5") round ventilation installations and can be used with appropriately sized components including:
Always check the actual connection diameter of the equipment before installation. Nominal metric and imperial ventilation sizes are commonly used together, but exact dimensions can vary slightly between manufacturers.

Mute Silent Ducting uses an insulated construction around the flexible inner airflow duct to help absorb transmitted sound. It provides a practical upgrade from standard uninsulated ducting where quieter ventilation is required.
With a 102mm (4") nominal diameter and 5m length, this version is ideal for compatible 4-inch extraction fans, carbon filters and ventilation equipment used in smaller grow rooms, grow tents, propagation areas and other indoor ventilation installations.
Why choose 102mm acoustic silent ducting?
How does acoustic ducting reduce noise?
Ventilation noise can originate from several sources. The fan motor itself produces sound, while the movement of air through the fan, ducting, filters and fittings can create additional turbulence and noise.
Standard ducting can carry this sound along the ventilation route. Acoustic ducting adds an insulating layer around the flexible inner duct to help absorb transmitted noise before it travels through the system.
This makes it particularly useful immediately before or after an extraction fan, between compatible ventilation components and along exhaust routes where sound from the ventilation system would otherwise be noticeable.
Acoustic ducting is designed to reduce transmitted noise rather than make an extraction system completely silent. Fan vibration, motor noise, airflow velocity and the overall system design can still influence the final sound level.
Quieter 4-inch grow room and grow tent ventilation
102mm-class ventilation equipment is commonly used in smaller indoor horticultural installations where heat, humidity and stale air need to be removed without installing unnecessarily large extraction equipment.
In a compact grow tent or propagation area, the fan and ducting are often located relatively close to the growing space. This can make ventilation noise more apparent than it would be in a larger installation.
Using acoustic ducting helps reduce sound transmitted along the ventilation route while retaining the flexibility required to route ductwork through tent ports, around equipment and towards the extraction point.
Maintaining good airflow
Good duct installation is important for maintaining the performance of any extraction system. Flexible ducting should be routed as directly as practical and unnecessary restrictions should be avoided.
Extend the duct sufficiently for the required route rather than leaving large sections heavily compressed. This reduces excessive internal corrugation and provides a smoother route for moving air.
Avoid crushing the duct and minimise very tight bends. Every bend, carbon filter, silencer, reducer and length of duct adds resistance to the system, so keeping the airflow path straightforward helps the fan operate effectively.
This is particularly relevant with 102mm systems, where restrictive routing can have a noticeable effect on the airflow available from a smaller extraction fan.
Installing 102mm Mute Silent Ducting
Measure the required ventilation route before cutting. The 5m length can be installed as one continuous run or divided into shorter sections depending on the layout.
When connecting to a compatible fan, carbon filter, silencer or rigid fitting, secure the inner duct over the connection using an appropriately sized duct clamp or clip.
Arrange the surrounding insulation and outer covering neatly around the connection. Suitable HVAC foil tape can also be used where additional sealing is required.
Support longer sections of insulated ducting rather than allowing their full weight to hang directly from the extraction fan, carbon filter or another ventilation component.
Compatible 102mm / 4" ventilation equipment
This ducting is intended for nominal 102mm (4") round ventilation systems and can be used with appropriately sized components including:
Always check the actual connection diameter of adjoining equipment before installation. Nominal metric and imperial ventilation sizes are commonly used together, but exact connection dimensions can vary slightly between manufacturers.

102mm (4") Mute Silent Ducting FAQs
What is acoustic ducting?
Acoustic ducting is flexible ventilation ducting surrounded by insulation designed to help reduce sound transmitted through the ventilation system. What size is this silent ducting?
It has a nominal diameter of 102mm, approximately 4 inches, and is supplied in a 5m length. Is this suitable for a 4-inch extraction fan?
Yes, provided the fan has a compatible nominal 102mm / 4" connection. Is this suitable for a grow tent?
Yes. Its 102mm nominal diameter makes it particularly useful with compatible 4-inch ventilation equipment used in smaller grow tents and indoor growing environments. Will acoustic ducting completely silence my extraction fan?
No. It helps reduce sound transmitted through the ductwork, but motor noise, vibration and airflow can still contribute to the overall noise produced by the system. Is acoustic ducting quieter than standard flexible ducting?
Its insulated construction is specifically intended to reduce transmitted sound compared with basic uninsulated flexible ventilation ducting. Can I connect it to a carbon filter?
Yes. It can be used with compatible 102mm / 4" carbon filters, extraction fans and other appropriately sized ventilation equipment. Can acoustic ducting be used with a silencer?
Yes. It can be combined with a compatible ventilation silencer where additional reduction of transmitted ventilation noise is required. Can the 5m duct be cut into shorter sections?
Yes. The ducting can be cut to suit the installation using suitable tools, taking care when cutting the inner duct, reinforcement and surrounding insulation. Can this ducting be used for air intake?
Yes. It can be incorporated into compatible intake systems as well as extraction installations. Does flexible ducting reduce airflow?
All ductwork introduces some resistance. Keeping the duct reasonably extended and avoiding unnecessary length, compression and tight bends helps minimise additional pressure loss. Should acoustic ducting be stretched out?
It should be extended sufficiently for the required route rather than left heavily compressed. This helps provide a less restrictive internal airflow path. Can I bend it around corners?
Yes. Its flexible construction allows changes in direction, although very tight bends that crush or significantly restrict the inner duct should be avoided. How should 4-inch acoustic ducting be secured?
Secure the inner duct to compatible fittings using an appropriately sized duct clamp or clip. Suitable HVAC foil tape can be used where additional sealing is required. What else can help reduce grow room extraction noise?
Correctly sized ducting, smooth airflow routes, vibration isolation, suitable fan-speed control and compatible acoustic silencers can all contribute to a quieter ventilation system.

Unit price per254mm (10") x 10m Mute Silent Ducting is an acoustically insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help reduce fan and airflow noise in high-capacity extraction and intake systems.
Powerful ventilation equipment can generate considerable noise from both the fan and the movement of air through the ductwork. This insulated ducting provides a practical way to reduce sound transmission while retaining the flexibility and straightforward installation of conventional flexible duct.
The flexible inner airflow duct is surrounded by an acoustic insulation layer that helps absorb sound travelling along the ventilation system. This makes it particularly useful in grow rooms and indoor horticultural environments where extraction equipment may operate for extended periods.
Supplied in a generous 10 metre length with a nominal 254mm / 10" diameter, the duct can be used as one extended run or cut into shorter sections to suit the installation.
Why choose 254mm acoustic silent ducting?
How does acoustic ducting reduce ventilation noise?
Ventilation noise does not only originate directly from an extraction fan. Fan sound, vibration and turbulent airflow can travel through ordinary ductwork and become audible at other points in the ventilation route.
Acoustic ducting surrounds the flexible inner air passage with an insulating layer designed to absorb transmitted sound. This helps reduce the amount of fan and airflow noise travelling along the duct run.
It can be particularly useful immediately before or after an extraction fan, between a fan and carbon filter, or along longer ventilation routes where transmitted sound needs to be controlled.
Acoustic ducting is designed to reduce ventilation noise rather than make an extraction system completely silent. Fan design, fan speed, airflow velocity, vibration, duct routing and installation quality will all influence the final noise level.
Designed for high-capacity grow room ventilation
Larger grow rooms and controlled horticultural environments can require substantial air movement to manage heat, humidity and general air exchange. As ventilation capacity increases, controlling the associated noise becomes increasingly important.
The 254mm / 10" diameter is suitable for compatible high-volume extraction equipment, while the insulated construction helps reduce sound transmitted through the ducting.
It can be incorporated into complete ventilation systems using compatible inline fans, carbon filters, metal duct fittings, reducers, bends and other appropriately sized components.
Maintaining good airflow through flexible ducting
Correct installation is important because every length of duct, bend and fitting introduces resistance to airflow. This becomes especially relevant with longer ventilation runs.
Extend the duct sufficiently rather than leaving unnecessary sections heavily compressed. A more fully extended inner duct provides a smoother airflow path and can help reduce avoidable turbulence and resistance.
Keep the route as short and direct as the installation allows. Avoid crushing the duct and minimise tight bends, with gradual changes in direction preferable wherever possible.
Although this product provides 10 metres of ducting, there is no requirement to use the full length. Cutting each section to the amount actually required can help create a cleaner and more efficient ventilation installation.
Installing 254mm Mute Silent Ducting
Check that the fan, carbon filter and other ventilation fittings have compatible nominal 254mm / 10" connections before installation.
Fit the flexible inner duct securely over the ventilation connection and fasten it using an appropriately sized duct clamp or suitable fixing. HVAC foil tape can be used where additional sealing is required.
Arrange the acoustic insulation and outer covering neatly around the completed joint so that the insulating layer remains as continuous as practical.
Long duct runs should be supported at suitable intervals. Avoid allowing the full weight of a long section of ducting to hang directly from the extraction fan, carbon filter or another ventilation component.
Compatible ventilation equipment
Always check the actual connection dimensions of individual components before installation, as nominal sizes and connection details can vary between ventilation equipment manufacturers.

Yes. It can be used with a compatible 254mm / 10" carbon filter as part of an appropriately sized extraction system. Does acoustic ducting make an extraction fan silent?
No. Acoustic ducting helps reduce noise transmitted through the ductwork, but it cannot completely eliminate fan motor noise, vibration or the sound created by moving air. Is acoustic ducting quieter than standard flexible ducting?
Its insulated construction is specifically intended to reduce transmitted ventilation noise compared with basic uninsulated flexible ducting. Can this ducting be used for intake as well as extraction?
Yes. It can be incorporated into compatible fresh-air intake systems as well as extraction systems. Can I cut the 10m duct into shorter lengths?
Yes. The ducting can be cut to suit the installation, making the 10m version useful when several individual duct sections are required. Do I need to use the entire 10 metre length?
No. Use only the amount required. Keeping ventilation routes reasonably short and direct generally helps minimise unnecessary resistance. Does a longer duct run reduce airflow?
Longer duct runs introduce additional resistance. Bends, fittings and compressed flexible duct can add further resistance, so ventilation systems should be planned with the total duct route in mind. Do bends in the duct affect extraction performance?
Yes. Tight bends can increase airflow resistance, so smooth and gradual changes in direction are preferable where the installation allows. Should flexible acoustic ducting be fully extended?
It should be extended sufficiently for the required run rather than left unnecessarily compressed. This helps provide a smoother internal path for airflow. Where is the best place to use acoustic ducting?
It can be used throughout a compatible ventilation route. Sections immediately around powerful extraction fans can be particularly useful where reducing transmitted fan noise is a priority. Does a 10m run need supporting?
Yes. Longer duct runs should be supported appropriately rather than allowing their weight to hang entirely from the fan, filter or connecting fittings. How can I make a grow room extraction system quieter?
Acoustic ducting can form part of a quieter installation alongside sensible duct routing, correctly sized fans and filters, vibration isolation, suitable fan-speed control and ventilation silencers.

Where a change of direction is required, use a gradual bend wherever possible. Although 10 metres of ducting is supplied, there is no requirement to use the complete length in one continuous run.
Cutting each section to the length actually required can help minimise unnecessary airflow resistance while leaving the remaining duct available for other parts of the ventilation installation.
Installing 203mm acoustic ducting
Before installation, confirm that the fan, carbon filter and other ventilation components have compatible nominal 203mm / 8" connections.
Fit the flexible inner duct securely over the connection and fasten it using a suitable duct clamp or fixing. HVAC foil tape can also be used where additional sealing is required.
Arrange the surrounding insulation and outer covering neatly around the joint so that the acoustic layer remains as continuous as practical.
Longer sections of ducting should be supported appropriately rather than allowing their full weight to hang directly from a fan, carbon filter or other ventilation component.

203mm (8") Acoustic Ducting FAQs
What is acoustic ducting?
Acoustic ducting is insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help absorb and reduce sound transmitted through an extraction or intake system. What size is this acoustic duct?
This version has a nominal 203mm / 8" diameter and is supplied in a 10 metre length. Is this suitable for an 8-inch extraction fan?
Yes, provided the fan has a compatible nominal 203mm / 8" duct connection. Can I use it with an 8-inch carbon filter?
Yes. It can be used to connect compatible 203mm / 8" carbon filters and extraction fans as part of an appropriately sized ventilation system. Does acoustic ducting reduce fan noise?
It helps reduce fan and airflow sound transmitted along the ductwork. It does not eliminate noise produced directly by the fan itself. Is acoustic ducting quieter than ordinary ducting?
Its insulating layer is specifically intended to absorb transmitted sound, making it useful where noise reduction is a priority. Can acoustic ducting be used for horticultural extraction?
Yes. It is well suited to indoor horticultural extraction systems where temperature, humidity and air exchange need to be managed while keeping ventilation noise under control. Can it also be used for air intake?
Yes. Acoustic ducting can be incorporated into compatible intake as well as extraction systems. Can I cut the 10m length?
Yes. The duct can be cut to suit the required ventilation route or divided into several shorter sections. Do I need to use the full 10 metres?
No. Use only the amount required for the installation. Keeping duct routes reasonably short and direct generally helps minimise unnecessary airflow resistance. Should flexible acoustic ducting be fully extended?
It should be extended sufficiently for the installation rather than left unnecessarily compressed. This helps create a smoother internal path for airflow. Do bends reduce airflow?
Yes. Tight bends increase resistance and turbulence, so gradual changes in direction are preferable wherever possible. Does a longer duct run affect extraction performance?
Every length of duct introduces some resistance. Longer runs, multiple bends and additional fittings can therefore reduce the effective airflow of a ventilation system. How should a long run of acoustic ducting be supported?
Longer runs should be supported at suitable intervals so that the weight of the duct is not carried entirely by the fan, filter or connecting fittings. How can horticultural ventilation noise be reduced further?
Correct fan sizing, sensible duct routing, vibration isolation, suitable fan-speed control and ventilation silencers can be combined with acoustic ducting to create a quieter overall system.

Unit price per127mm (5") x 10m Acoustic Ducting is an insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help reduce fan and airflow noise transmitted through extraction and intake systems.
Ventilation fans generate sound from both the fan itself and the movement of air through the system. Standard uninsulated ducting can allow this noise to travel along the ventilation route, while acoustic ducting incorporates an insulating layer around the inner duct to help absorb transmitted sound.
This makes it particularly useful for indoor horticulture, propagation areas and controlled growing environments where ventilation equipment may operate for extended periods and reducing unnecessary noise is desirable.
Supplied in a generous 10 metre length with a nominal 127mm / 5" diameter, it can be connected to compatible fans, carbon filters and ventilation fittings. The flexible construction allows it to be routed around equipment and cut into the exact lengths required for the installation.
Why choose 127mm acoustic ducting?
How does acoustic ducting reduce noise?
Noise within a ventilation system can come from the fan motor, vibration and turbulent air moving through the ductwork. Some of this sound can travel along ordinary flexible duct and become noticeable elsewhere in the installation.
Acoustic ducting surrounds the flexible inner airflow passage with insulation designed to absorb transmitted sound. This helps reduce the amount of fan and airflow noise travelling through the duct route.
It can be particularly useful around extraction fans, between compatible fans and carbon filters, and along longer sections of ventilation duct where transmitted noise needs to be controlled.
Acoustic ducting is intended to reduce transmitted noise rather than make a ventilation system completely silent. Fan design, fan speed, airflow velocity, vibration and installation quality all contribute to the final noise level.
Acoustic ducting for indoor horticulture
Reliable ventilation helps manage temperature, humidity and air exchange within controlled growing environments. Extraction and intake equipment can, however, become a significant source of noise when operating continuously or at higher fan speeds.
Acoustic ducting provides a practical way to reduce sound transmission while maintaining the flexibility needed to connect ventilation equipment and route air around an installation.
The 127mm / 5" size is suitable for compatible ventilation systems using appropriately sized inline fans, carbon filters, connectors and other round duct fittings.
The 10m length is particularly useful for larger installations, longer ventilation routes or applications where several separate sections of acoustic ducting are required.
Getting the best airflow from acoustic ducting
Good installation is important for maintaining ventilation performance. Flexible ducting should be extended sufficiently rather than left heavily compressed, helping create a smoother internal path for moving air.
Keep the duct route as short and direct as practical. Tight bends, crushed sections and unnecessary changes in direction create additional resistance and can reduce the effective airflow delivered by the fan.
Where the duct needs to change direction, use gradual bends wherever possible. Although this product provides 10 metres of ducting, there is no need to use the entire length in one continuous run.
Cutting each section to the length actually required can help minimise unnecessary resistance while leaving the remaining duct available for other parts of the ventilation installation.
Installing 127mm acoustic ducting
Before installation, check that the fan, carbon filter and other ventilation components have compatible nominal 127mm / 5" connections.
Fit the flexible inner duct securely over the ventilation connection and fasten it using a suitably sized duct clamp or appropriate fixing. HVAC foil tape can also be used where additional sealing is required.
Arrange the surrounding insulation and outer covering neatly around the completed connection so that the acoustic layer remains as continuous as practical.
Longer sections should be supported appropriately rather than allowing the entire weight of the ducting to hang directly from a fan, filter or connecting fitting.

Unit price perThe Neutralizer Road Kit is a compact vehicle odour neutralising system designed for cars, saloons and standard-size SUVs. Rather than operating as a conventional fragranced car air freshener, the system uses an Electronic Molecule Evaporator (EME-320) together with a replaceable 20ml essential-oil cartridge to tackle unwanted odours inside the vehicle.
Developed specifically for vehicle use, the Road Kit has a much faster activation time than the larger Neutralizer systems. Natural accelerants within the Road Kit formulation allow the system to begin working in approximately 5 minutes.
The supplied 20ml Road Kit Cartridge contains The Neutralizer's blend of essential oils derived from plant materials including flowers, fruits, roots and other botanical sources.
The system is particularly useful where persistent smells build up inside an enclosed vehicle and a conventional hanging air freshener or fragrance spray simply masks the problem.
Why choose The Neutralizer Road Kit?
What's included in The Neutralizer Road Kit?
Once the original cartridge has been used, replacement 20ml Road Kit cartridges can be fitted without replacing the EME-320 unit.
How does The Neutralizer Road Kit work?
At the centre of the system is the EME-320 Electronic Molecule Evaporator. The device is designed to control the evaporation of the essential-oil formulation so that volatile components are dispersed through the vehicle interior.
The Road Kit formulation incorporates natural accelerants to reduce the activation period to approximately five minutes. This makes it better suited to vehicle use, where a long warm-up period would be impractical.
The manufacturer describes The Neutralizer as an odour-neutralising system rather than a conventional masking fragrance. This distinction makes the Road Kit particularly useful for persistent smells in enclosed vehicle interiors.
Using The Neutralizer Road Kit in your car
Fit the Road Kit cartridge to the EME-320 in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and position the assembled unit securely inside the vehicle using the supplied foam cup-holder adaptor.
The Road Kit is designed to connect to the vehicle's 12V electrical socket. Once powered, allow approximately five minutes for the unit and formulation to activate.
The system is designed to provide coverage for a standard-size saloon or SUV. Cartridge life will depend primarily on the amount of time the unit is operated.
Always position the unit securely so that it cannot interfere with the driver, pedals, controls or safe operation of the vehicle.
How long does a Road Kit cartridge last?
The supplied cartridge contains 20ml of The Neutralizer Road Kit formulation.
According to the manufacturer, one cartridge can last for up to 45 days when operated for approximately 2 hours per day.
When operated continuously, manufacturer guidance gives a total service life of approximately 80-92 hours. Actual cartridge life will therefore depend on the operating pattern.
Replacement Road Kit cartridges allow the EME-320 electronic unit to be reused once the original refill has been exhausted.
Suitable for persistent vehicle odours
Vehicle interiors contain upholstery, carpets, headlining and other materials that can retain unwanted smells. The Neutralizer Road Kit is designed for situations where these persistent odours require more than a conventional fragranced car air freshener.
Potential applications include vehicles affected by persistent:
Where the underlying source of an odour is contamination, damp, mould, spilled material or another physical problem, the source should also be identified and properly cleaned or corrected.
Replaceable 20ml Road Kit cartridges
The Road Kit is a refillable system rather than a single-use vehicle air freshener. Once the supplied 20ml cartridge has reached the end of its service life, it can be replaced with the dedicated RKC-20 Road Kit Cartridge.
Road Kit cartridges are specifically intended for the vehicle system, so use the correct replacement cartridge rather than cartridges intended for the Neutralizer Compact or Pro systems.

Unit price perHigh-output 30L/min air pump supplied with a 6-way manifold for powerful, reliable aeration across DWC systems, nutrient reservoirs and multiple air stones.
The Hailea ACO-9810 is a high-output diaphragm air pump designed for hydroponic systems that need considerably more aeration than a standard multi-outlet aquarium-style pump. Delivering up to 30 litres of air per minute, equivalent to 1,800 litres per hour, it provides a strong central air supply for larger reservoirs and multi-pot growing systems.
The ACO-9810 is supplied with a 6-way manifold, allowing its main air supply to be divided between several separate airline runs. This makes it particularly useful for DWC and RDWC systems where multiple pots or air stones need to be aerated from a single pump.
Hailea uses a double air chamber, oil-free diaphragm system together with vibration and sound-reducing features. The result is substantial airflow and pressure while maintaining a rated operating noise level below 40dB.
Why choose the Hailea ACO-9810 Air Pump?
High-output aeration for DWC, RDWC and nutrient reservoirs
The ACO-9810 is a strong choice when one central air pump needs to supply several aeration points. The supplied 6-way manifold allows separate airline runs to feed individual DWC pots, air stones or diffusers positioned throughout a larger nutrient reservoir.
Its 30L/min capacity also makes it useful for applications where smaller multi-outlet pumps do not provide enough airflow. Alongside hydroponic nutrient aeration, it can be used for propagation systems and other horticultural setups requiring a dependable continuous air supply.
The 30L/min rating is the maximum total airflow from the pump. When several manifold outlets are used, this airflow is shared between the connected lines rather than each outlet independently producing 30L/min.
How to use the Hailea ACO-9810
Place the pump on a firm, stable surface above the water level of your reservoir. Connect the supplied manifold to the main pump outlet using the connecting hose, then attach compatible airline to the manifold outlets you intend to use.
Connect suitable air stones or diffusers to the opposite ends of the airline and position them in the nutrient solution. Keep airline runs as direct as practical and avoid sharp bends or kinks that could restrict airflow.
Airflow from the pump is divided between the connected manifold outlets. Airline length, water depth and the resistance created by individual air stones will all influence the amount of air reaching each diffuser.
Inspect the manifold, airline and air stones periodically. Mineral deposits and other blockages in an air stone can increase resistance and reduce aeration, so cleaning or replacing restricted diffusers will help maintain consistent performance.

Unit price perAdjustable 8 way hydroponic air pump delivering up to 16L/min for aerating multiple DWC pots, air stones and nutrient reservoirs.
The Hailea ACO-9630 is a powerful multi-outlet air pump designed for growers who need to distribute aeration across several points from a single unit. With eight individual 4mm outlets and a maximum combined airflow of 16 litres per minute, it can supply multiple air stones without the need for a separate external manifold.
A rotary control on top of the pump lets you adjust the overall air output to suit your setup. This makes the ACO-9630 particularly useful for DWC systems, nutrient reservoirs and other hydroponic installations where aeration requirements can vary between systems.
Hailea uses a multilevel muffler and vibration-damping design to keep operating noise down, while the oil-free diaphragm system provides a clean air supply for continuous aeration.
Why choose the Hailea ACO-9630 Air Pump?
Ideal for multi-pot DWC and reservoir aeration
The ACO-9630 comes into its own when several air stones need to be supplied from one central pump. Its eight outlets allow separate lengths of airline to be run directly to individual DWC pots, reservoirs or diffusers.
For an eight-pot DWC installation, for example, each outlet can supply its own airline and air stone. Alternatively, fewer outlets can be used where the system requires a smaller number of aeration points.
The adjustable output gives growers additional control over the amount of air being supplied, making the pump useful for both multi-pot hydroponic systems and larger nutrient reservoirs.
How to use the Hailea ACO-9630
Position the air pump on a firm, level surface above the water level of the reservoir. Connect compatible 4mm airline to the required outlets at the front of the pump, then connect an air stone or suitable diffuser to the opposite end of each airline.
Place the air stones in the nutrient solution and switch on the pump. The rotary control on top of the ACO-9630 can then be used to adjust the overall airflow to suit the system.
Keep airline runs free from kinks and unnecessary restrictions. Where the pump cannot be positioned above water level, suitable non-return valves should be installed in the airline to help prevent water travelling back towards the pump when it is switched off.
Periodically inspect the pump, airline and diffusers to make sure airflow remains consistent. The ACO-9630 uses replaceable diaphragms, allowing the pump to be serviced as these components wear over time.

Unit price per317mm (12.5") x 5m Mute Silent Ducting is a large-diameter acoustically insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help reduce fan and airflow noise transmitted through high-volume extraction and intake systems.
Large extraction systems can move substantial volumes of air, but increased airflow can also make ventilation noise more noticeable. This insulated ducting provides a practical way to reduce sound transmission through the ductwork while maintaining the flexibility required for installation around fans, filters and other ventilation equipment.
The flexible inner airflow duct is surrounded by an acoustic insulation layer that helps absorb transmitted sound. This makes it particularly useful for larger grow rooms, horticultural facilities and other controlled environments where powerful ventilation equipment may operate for extended periods.
Supplied as a 5 metre length with a nominal 317mm / 12.5" diameter, it can be used as a continuous duct run or cut into shorter sections to suit the ventilation layout.
Why choose 317mm acoustic silent ducting?
How does acoustic ducting reduce ventilation noise?
Ventilation noise can originate from several sources, including the extraction fan itself, vibration and turbulent air moving through filters, bends and ductwork. Some of this sound can travel through ordinary flexible ducting and become noticeable elsewhere in the ventilation system.
Acoustic ducting surrounds the flexible inner air passage with insulation designed to absorb transmitted sound. This helps limit the amount of fan and airflow noise travelling along the duct route.
It is particularly useful immediately before or after extraction fans, between compatible ventilation components and along exhaust routes where reducing transmitted noise is desirable.
Acoustic ducting is designed to reduce noise rather than make an extraction system completely silent. Fan design, airflow velocity, vibration, duct length, bends and installation quality all influence the final sound level.
Large-diameter ducting for grow room ventilation
Larger indoor growing environments can require substantial airflow to remove excess heat and humidity and maintain a regular exchange of air. High-capacity extraction fans and carbon filters therefore commonly require larger-diameter ductwork.
The generous 317mm diameter allows this ducting to be paired with compatible large ventilation equipment while the acoustic insulation helps control noise travelling through the system.
It can be used for both extraction and intake routes, making it suitable for building complete ventilation systems in grow rooms and other indoor horticultural environments.
Maintaining efficient airflow
Correct duct installation is particularly important with high-volume ventilation systems. Every metre of duct, bend and fitting creates resistance that the extraction fan must overcome.
Extend flexible ducting sufficiently rather than leaving long sections heavily compressed. A properly extended duct creates a smoother internal airflow path and reduces unnecessary resistance.
Keep the route as short and direct as practical. Avoid crushing the duct, creating excessively tight bends or leaving unnecessary lengths coiled within the installation.
If the full 5m length is not required, the ducting can be cut to the appropriate length for the installation.
Installing 317mm Mute Silent Ducting
Plan the complete ventilation route before cutting or installing the duct. Check that the fan, filter and any connectors or fittings are compatible with the nominal 317mm / 12.5" duct size.
Connect the inner flexible duct securely around the equipment connection using a suitably sized duct clamp or fixing. Suitable HVAC foil tape can be used where additional sealing is required.
Arrange the insulation and outer covering neatly around the completed connection to maintain the acoustic layer as effectively as possible.
Because large-diameter insulated ducting can become relatively bulky over longer runs, provide suitable support rather than allowing its full weight to hang directly from a fan, carbon filter or other ventilation component.
Compatible ventilation equipment
The ducting can be incorporated into appropriately sized ventilation systems using components such as:
Always check the actual connection diameter of adjoining equipment before installation. Nominal ventilation sizes and the exact outside diameter of individual fittings can vary slightly between manufacturers.

317mm (12.5") Mute Silent Ducting FAQs
What is acoustic ducting?
Acoustic ducting is flexible ventilation ducting surrounded by insulation designed to help reduce sound transmitted through the ductwork. What size is this ducting?
This version has a nominal diameter of 317mm, approximately 12.5 inches, and is supplied in a 5m length. What is 317mm ducting used for?
Its large diameter makes it suitable for compatible high-volume ventilation systems used in larger grow rooms and other environments requiring substantial extraction or intake airflow. Does acoustic ducting make an extraction system silent?
No. It helps reduce sound transmitted through the ductwork but cannot completely eliminate fan motor noise, vibration or airflow noise. Is it quieter than standard flexible ducting?
Its insulated construction is specifically intended to reduce transmitted ventilation noise compared with basic uninsulated flexible ducting. Can I connect it to a carbon filter?
Yes, provided the carbon filter connection is compatible with the nominal 317mm / 12.5" duct size. Can I use it with an extraction fan?
Yes. It is designed for use as part of a compatible ventilation system and can be connected to appropriately sized extraction equipment. Can this ducting be used for air intake?
Yes. It can be used for compatible intake systems as well as extraction ductwork. Can the 5m duct be cut?
Yes. It can be cut into the length or individual sections required for the ventilation installation. Does the length of ducting affect airflow?
Yes. Longer duct runs create additional resistance, so using the shortest practical route can help maintain effective airflow. Do bends in ducting reduce airflow?
Bends increase resistance, particularly when they are sharp or tightly compressed. Smooth, gradual changes in direction are preferable wherever possible. Should flexible ducting be fully stretched?
It should be sufficiently extended for the required route rather than left heavily compressed, as excessive internal corrugation can increase airflow resistance. How should large acoustic ducting be supported?
Use suitable supports along the duct route so that the weight of the ducting is not carried entirely by the extraction fan, filter or connecting fittings. Can acoustic ducting be used with a ventilation silencer?
Yes. Combining acoustic ducting with a compatible ventilation silencer can provide additional control of sound transmitted through an extraction system. What else can help reduce grow room extraction noise?
Good duct routing, suitable fan sizing, vibration isolation, appropriate fan-speed control and compatible silencers can all contribute to a quieter ventilation installation.
