Please sign in to see pricing

254mm (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?

Helps reduce ventilation noise - acoustic insulation helps absorb sound transmitted through the ductwork.
254mm / 10" diameter - suitable for compatible high-capacity ventilation equipment.
5 metre length - provides plenty of duct for complete installations or several shorter sections.
Acoustically insulated construction - designed for quieter ventilation than basic uninsulated flexible ducting.
Flexible design - makes routing around fans, filters and other equipment straightforward.
Suitable for extraction - ideal for connecting compatible inline fans, carbon filters and exhaust routes.
Suitable for intake systems - can also be used to route fresh air into controlled growing environments.
Cut to size - use only the length required for the installation to help maintain efficient airflow.
Ideal for indoor horticulture - particularly useful where powerful ventilation needs to operate with reduced transmitted noise.

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:

254mm / 10" inline extraction fans
Compatible carbon filters
Ventilation silencers
Rigid round ducting
Metal duct connectors
Elbows and bends
Reducers and adapters
Duct clamps and fixing accessories

Always check the actual connection diameter of individual components before installation, as dimensions can vary slightly between different ventilation equipment manufacturers.

254mm (10") Mute Silent Ducting FAQs

What is acoustic ducting?

Acoustic ducting is flexible ventilation duct surrounded by insulation designed to help reduce sound transmitted through a ventilation system.

What size is this ducting?

This version has a nominal diameter of 254mm, equivalent to 10 inches, and is supplied in a 5 metre length.

Is this suitable for a 10-inch extraction fan?

Yes, provided the fan has a compatible nominal 254mm / 10" connection. Always check the fan connection dimensions before installation.

Can I connect it to a 10-inch carbon filter?

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.

203mm (8”) x 10m Mute Silent Ducting - Acoustic Insulated Flexible Ventilation Duct

£27.50

Please sign in to see pricing

203mm (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?

Helps reduce ventilation noise - designed to absorb sound transmitted through the ducting system.
203mm / 8" diameter - suitable for compatible 8-inch ventilation equipment.
10 metre length - provides plenty of ducting for larger installations and longer ventilation runs.
Acoustically insulated construction - helps reduce airborne fan and airflow noise compared with basic uninsulated flexible ducting.
Flexible design - easier to route around equipment and obstacles than rigid ductwork.
Suitable for extraction - ideal for connecting compatible fans, carbon filters and exhaust routes.
Suitable for intake - can also be used on appropriately designed air-intake systems.
Useful for grow rooms - helps create a quieter indoor horticultural environment.
Can be cut to length - use only the amount required for the installation.

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:

203mm / 8" inline extraction fans
203mm / 8" carbon filters
203mm / 8" acoustic silencers
203mm / 8" rigid duct fittings
203mm / 8" bends and elbows
203mm / 8" straight connectors
Compatible reducers and adapters
Suitable duct clamps and clips

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.

152mm (6”) x 5m Mute Silent Ducting - Acoustic Insulated Flexible Ventilation Duct

£12.92

Please sign in to see pricing

152mm (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?

Helps reduce ventilation noise - acoustic insulation helps absorb sound transmitted through the ducting.
152mm / 6" diameter - suitable for compatible 6-inch ventilation systems.
5 metre length - suitable for complete duct runs or cutting into shorter sections.
Insulated construction - designed specifically for applications where noise reduction is important.
Flexible design - easier to route around equipment and obstacles than rigid ductwork.
Extraction compatible - ideal for connecting compatible fans, carbon filters, silencers and exhaust routes.
Suitable for air intake - can also be incorporated into appropriately designed intake systems.
Ideal for indoor horticulture - helps reduce one of the most noticeable sources of grow room noise.
Can be cut to length - allows the duct run to be tailored to the installation.

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:

152mm / 6" inline extraction fans

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.

Cut to the required length - use the complete 10m run or divide it to suit the installation.

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.

It should be extended sufficiently for the required run 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, but very tight bends that crush the inner duct should be avoided.

How should acoustic ducting be secured?

The inner duct can be secured to compatible ventilation connections using appropriately sized duct clamps or clips, with suitable HVAC foil tape used where additional sealing is required.

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.

127mm (5”) x 10m Mute Silent Ducting - Acoustic Insulated Flexible Ventilation Duct

£21.75

Please sign in to see pricing

127mm (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?

Helps reduce ventilation noise - acoustic insulation helps absorb sound travelling through the ductwork.
127mm / 5" diameter - suitable for compatible 5-inch ventilation equipment.
10 metre length - ideal for longer duct runs or cutting into several shorter sections.
Acoustically insulated - designed for installations where reducing transmitted fan and airflow noise is important.
Flexible construction - easier to route around equipment and structural obstacles than rigid ductwork.
Suitable for extraction - use with compatible fans, carbon filters, silencers and exhaust routes.
Suitable for intake - can also be incorporated into appropriately designed fresh-air intake systems.
Ideal for indoor horticulture - helps reduce one of the most noticeable sources of grow room noise.
Cut to the required length - use the complete 10m run or divide it to suit the installation.

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:

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.

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.

102mm (4”) x 5m Mute Silent Ducting - Acoustic Insulated Flexible Ventilation Duct

£10.45

Please sign in to see pricing

102mm (4") 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 provides a convenient route for moving air, but it can also transmit noise generated by an extraction fan and turbulent airflow. In smaller indoor growing environments, where ventilation equipment is often positioned relatively close to the growing area, this noise can be particularly noticeable.

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?

Helps reduce ventilation noise - acoustic insulation helps absorb sound transmitted through the ductwork.
102mm / 4" diameter - suitable for compatible 4-inch ventilation equipment.
5 metre length - use as a continuous duct run or cut into shorter sections.
Acoustically insulated - designed for installations where reducing transmitted fan and airflow noise is important.
Flexible construction - easier to route around equipment and obstacles than rigid ductwork.
Suitable for extraction - use with compatible fans, carbon filters, silencers and exhaust routes.
Suitable for intake - can also be incorporated into appropriately designed fresh-air intake systems.
Ideal for grow tents and smaller grow rooms - particularly useful where ventilation equipment is positioned close to the growing space.
Cut to the required length - the 5m roll can be divided to suit individual ventilation layouts.

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.

Please sign in to see pricing

102mm (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?

Helps reduce ventilation noise - acoustic insulation helps absorb sound transmitted through the ductwork.
102mm / 4" nominal diameter - suitable for compatible 4-inch ventilation systems.
10 metre length - ideal for longer duct runs or cutting into multiple sections.
Acoustically insulated construction - designed for quieter air movement compared with basic uninsulated flexible ducting.
Flexible design - easier to route around equipment and obstacles than rigid ventilation ductwork.
Suitable for extraction systems - use with compatible inline fans, carbon filters and ventilation fittings.
Suitable for intake systems - can also be incorporated into appropriately designed fresh-air intake routes.
Ideal for indoor horticulture - particularly useful in grow tents, grow rooms and propagation environments.
Cut to suit the installation - use only the length required and retain the remainder for additional ventilation runs.

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

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?

All ductwork creates some airflow resistance. Excessive length, tight bends and heavily compressed flexible ducting can increase that resistance, so a direct and properly extended installation is preferable.

Should I use the full 10 metres?

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?

Good duct routing, vibration isolation, appropriately sized fans, suitable fan-speed control and compatible ventilation silencers can all help reduce overall system noise.

317mm (12.5”) x 5m Mute Silent Ducting - Acoustic Insulated Flexible Ventilation Duct

Please sign in to see pricing

317mm (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?

Helps reduce ventilation noise - acoustic insulation helps absorb sound transmitted along the ductwork.
Large 317mm / 12.5" diameter - designed for compatible high-volume ventilation equipment.
5 metre length - suitable for substantial duct runs or cutting into shorter sections.
Acoustically insulated construction - designed for quieter air movement compared with basic uninsulated flexible ducting.
Flexible design - easier to route around equipment and obstacles than rigid ventilation ductwork.
Suitable for extraction systems - use with appropriately sized fans, filters and ventilation fittings.
Suitable for air intake - can also be incorporated into compatible fresh-air intake systems.
Ideal for larger growing environments - useful where high airflow and noise control are both important considerations.
Cut to suit - use only the length required for the installation to avoid unnecessary duct resistance.

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.

The ducting can be incorporated into appropriately sized ventilation systems using components such as:

Compatible large-diameter inline extraction fans
Compatible carbon filters
Ventilation silencers
Rigid round ducting

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.

317mm (12.5”) x 10m Mute Silent Ducting - Acoustic Insulated Flexible Ventilation Duct

£57.50

Please sign in to see pricing

317mm (12.5") x 10m 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 ventilation systems can move substantial volumes of air, but powerful extraction fans and high airflow rates can also generate noticeable noise. This insulated ducting provides a practical way to reduce sound transmission through the ductwork while retaining the flexibility required for routing 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, indoor horticultural facilities and other controlled environments where high-capacity ventilation equipment may operate for extended periods.

Supplied as a generous 10 metre length with a nominal 317mm / 12.5" diameter, it is well suited to longer ventilation routes and can also be cut into shorter sections where required.

Why choose 317mm acoustic silent ducting?

Helps reduce ventilation noise - acoustic insulation helps absorb sound transmitted through the ductwork.
Large 317mm / 12.5" diameter - suitable for compatible high-volume ventilation systems.
10 metre length - ideal for longer duct runs or cutting into several individual sections.
Acoustically insulated construction - designed for quieter air movement compared with basic uninsulated flexible ducting.
Flexible design - easier to route around equipment and obstacles than rigid ventilation ductwork.
Suitable for extraction systems - use with appropriately sized inline fans, carbon filters and ventilation fittings.
Suitable for air intake - can also be incorporated into compatible fresh-air intake systems.
Ideal for larger grow rooms - particularly useful where high airflow and ventilation noise control are both important.
Cut to the required length - the 10m roll provides flexibility when designing larger or more complex ventilation installations.

How does acoustic ducting help reduce noise?

Ventilation noise can originate from the extraction fan, vibration and turbulent air moving through filters, fittings and ductwork. Some of this sound can travel along ordinary flexible ducting and become noticeable at other points in the ventilation system.

Acoustic ducting surrounds the flexible inner air passage with insulation designed to absorb transmitted sound. This helps reduce the amount of fan and airflow noise travelling along the duct route.

It can be particularly useful immediately before or after powerful extraction fans, between compatible ventilation components and along exhaust routes where controlling transmitted sound is important.

Acoustic ducting is designed to reduce transmitted ventilation noise rather than make a system completely silent. Fan design, airflow velocity, vibration, duct routing and installation quality all influence the final sound level.

Large-diameter ducting for high-volume 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 systems therefore commonly use larger fans, filters and ductwork.

The 317mm / 12.5" diameter makes this ducting suitable for compatible large-scale ventilation installations, while the acoustic insulation helps control the noise transmitted through the ductwork.

The 10m length is particularly useful for larger rooms, longer exhaust routes and installations where several sections of acoustic ducting are required.

Maintaining efficient airflow

Correct duct installation is important in any extraction system, particularly where large volumes of air are being moved. Every metre of ducting, bend and fitting creates resistance that the ventilation fan must overcome.

Extend flexible ducting sufficiently rather than leaving large sections heavily compressed. A properly extended duct provides a smoother internal airflow path and reduces unnecessary resistance.

Keep the route as short and direct as the installation allows. Avoid crushing the duct, creating excessively tight bends or leaving unnecessary lengths coiled within the ventilation system.

Although this product provides 10m of ducting, there is no requirement to use the complete length in a single run. Cutting the duct to the required length can help keep the system efficient.

Installing 317mm Mute Silent Ducting

Plan the ventilation route before cutting the duct and check that the fan, filter and any connectors or fittings are compatible with the nominal 317mm / 12.5" size.

Connect the inner flexible duct securely around the compatible ventilation 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 so the acoustic layer remains as continuous as practical.

Large-diameter insulated ducting can become relatively bulky over a long run. Provide suitable support along the route rather than allowing the entire weight of the duct to hang directly from the extraction fan, carbon filter or another ventilation component.

Compatible ventilation equipment

This ducting can be incorporated into appropriately sized ventilation systems using components such as:

Compatible large-diameter inline extraction fans
Compatible carbon filters
Ventilation silencers
Rigid round ventilation ducting
Metal duct connectors

Yes. The duct can be cut to suit the installation, allowing the roll to be used for one long ventilation route or several shorter sections.

Should I use the entire 10m length?

Only where the installation requires it. Using the shortest practical duct route generally helps minimise airflow resistance.

Does duct length affect extraction performance?

Yes. Longer duct runs create additional resistance, particularly when combined with multiple bends and fittings.

Do bends in ducting reduce airflow?

Bends increase resistance, especially when they are sharp or tightly compressed. Smooth, gradual changes in direction are preferable wherever possible.

254mm (10”) x 10m Mute Silent Ducting - Acoustic Insulated Flexible Ventilation Duct

£47.50

Please sign in to see pricing

254mm (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?

Helps reduce ventilation noise - acoustic insulation helps absorb fan and airflow sound transmitted through the ductwork.
254mm / 10" diameter - suitable for compatible high-capacity fans, carbon filters and ventilation fittings.
10 metre length - ideal for longer duct runs or cutting into several individual sections.
Acoustically insulated construction - designed for quieter ventilation than basic uninsulated flexible ducting.
Flexible design - makes routing around equipment and through ventilation installations straightforward.
Extraction or intake - suitable for moving extracted air out of an environment or routing fresh air into it.
Cut to the required length - use only the amount of ducting necessary for each part of the system.
Suitable for indoor horticulture - particularly useful with larger grow room ventilation systems where noise control is important.

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.

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?

203mm (8”) x 5m Acoustic Ducting - Insulated Flexible Ventilation Duct

£8.95

Please sign in to see pricing

203mm (8") x 5m Acoustic Ducting is an insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help reduce noise transmission while moving air through horticultural extraction and intake systems.

Ventilation fans generate both mechanical noise and sound from the movement of air. Standard uninsulated ducting can allow this noise to travel along the ventilation route, while acoustic ducting uses an insulating layer around the inner duct to help absorb transmitted sound.

This makes acoustic ducting particularly useful for indoor horticulture and controlled growing environments where extraction equipment may operate for long periods and keeping fan and airflow noise under control is important.

Supplied in a 5 metre length with a nominal 203mm / 8" diameter, it can be used with compatible fans, carbon filters and 8-inch ventilation fittings. The flexible construction allows it to be routed around equipment and cut to the required length during installation.

Why choose 203mm acoustic ducting?

Noise-reducing construction - insulation helps absorb sound transmitted along the ventilation duct.
203mm / 8" diameter - suitable for compatible 8-inch horticultural ventilation systems.
5 metre length - provides flexibility when planning extraction and intake routes.
Flexible installation - easier to route around fans, filters and other equipment than rigid ductwork.
Suitable for extraction - ideal for carrying extracted air from indoor growing environments.
Suitable for intake - can also be used to route fresh air into controlled growing areas.
Helps control fan and airflow noise - useful where ordinary flexible ducting would transmit excessive sound.
Cut to length - use only the amount required for each section of the ventilation system.
Ideal for horticulture - suitable for propagation areas, growing rooms and other controlled environments.

How does acoustic ducting work?

A horticultural ventilation system can produce noise from several sources. The fan motor itself creates sound, while fast-moving air can generate additional noise and turbulence as it passes through the ducting.

Acoustic ducting incorporates an insulating layer around the flexible inner air passage. This insulation helps absorb sound energy that would otherwise travel along the ductwork, reducing the amount of ventilation noise transmitted through the system.

It can be particularly useful close to an extraction fan, between a fan and carbon filter, and along sections of duct where transmitted noise would otherwise be noticeable.

Acoustic ducting is designed to reduce noise rather than make a ventilation system completely silent. Fan design, fan speed, airflow, vibration and the layout of the ductwork will all affect the overall noise level.

Ideal for horticultural extraction systems

Effective ventilation is essential for managing temperature, humidity and air exchange in indoor horticultural environments. However, moving large quantities of air can make extraction systems one of the main sources of environmental-control noise.

Replacing basic uninsulated ducting with acoustic ducting can help control the amount of sound transmitted through the ventilation route while still providing a flexible connection between compatible components.

The 203mm / 8" size is suitable for appropriately sized medium to high-capacity ventilation systems using compatible inline fans, carbon filters and duct fittings.

Getting the best airflow from acoustic ducting

Correct duct installation is important for maintaining ventilation performance. Flexible ducting should be extended sufficiently rather than left heavily compressed, as excessive compression creates a less efficient internal airflow path.

Keep the duct route as short and direct as practical. Tight bends, crushed sections and unnecessary changes in direction increase resistance and can reduce the effective airflow delivered by the extraction fan.

Where a change of direction is required, use a gradual bend wherever possible. The 5m duct can also be cut down so that only the length actually required is installed.

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.

Support longer sections of ducting appropriately rather than allowing their full weight to hang directly from a fan, carbon filter or other ventilation component.

Does longer ducting 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.

Where should acoustic ducting be installed?

It can be used throughout a compatible ventilation route. Sections around the extraction fan are particularly useful where transmitted fan noise is a concern.

How should acoustic ducting be secured?

Use appropriately sized duct clamps or suitable ventilation fixings, with HVAC foil tape where additional sealing is required.

How can horticultural ventilation noise be reduced further?

Please sign in to see pricing

127mm (5") x 5m 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 5 metre length with a nominal 127mm / 5" diameter, it can be connected to compatible fans, carbon filters and ventilation fittings. The flexible construction allows the duct to be routed around equipment and cut to the required length during installation.

Why choose 127mm acoustic ducting?

Helps reduce ventilation noise - acoustic insulation helps absorb sound transmitted through the ductwork.
127mm / 5" diameter - suitable for compatible 5-inch ventilation equipment.
5 metre length - suitable for complete duct runs or cutting into several shorter sections.
Insulated construction - designed to reduce transmitted sound compared with basic uninsulated flexible ducting.
Flexible installation - straightforward to route around fans, filters and other ventilation equipment.
Suitable for extraction - ideal for carrying extracted air away from controlled growing areas.
Suitable for intake - can also be incorporated into compatible fresh-air intake systems.
Cut to length - install only the amount required for a clean and efficient duct route.
Suitable for horticultural environments - ideal for propagation, growing and other controlled-environment applications.

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 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.

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. The supplied 5m length can be cut so that only the amount actually required is installed.

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.

Support longer sections appropriately rather than allowing the entire weight of the ducting to hang directly from a fan, filter or connecting fitting.

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 ventilation route.

It can be particularly useful around extraction fans, between compatible fans and carbon filters, and along sections of ductwork where transmitted ventilation 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 controlled growing environments

Effective ventilation is important for managing temperature, humidity and air exchange within indoor growing environments. Higher-capacity extraction and intake equipment can, however, become a significant source of environmental-control noise.

Acoustic ducting provides a practical way to reduce sound transmission while maintaining the flexibility needed to connect ventilation equipment and route air through the installation.

The 254mm / 10" size is suitable for compatible higher-capacity ventilation systems using appropriately sized inline fans, carbon filters, connectors and other round duct fittings.

Getting the best airflow from acoustic ducting

Correct duct 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. The supplied 5m length can be cut so that only the amount actually required is installed.

Installing 254mm acoustic ducting

Before installation, check that the fan, carbon filter and other ventilation components have compatible nominal 254mm / 10" 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.

Larger insulated ducting should be supported appropriately rather than allowing its full weight to hang directly from a fan, carbon filter or connecting fitting.

254mm (10") 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 diameter of 254mm, equivalent to 10 inches, and is supplied in a 5 metre length.

Is this suitable for a 10-inch extraction fan?

Yes, provided the fan has a compatible nominal 254mm / 10" duct connection.

Can it be used with a 10-inch carbon filter?

Yes. It can be used with compatible 254mm / 10" 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 completely eliminate noise generated directly by the fan.

Is acoustic ducting quieter than ordinary flexible ducting?

Its insulating layer is specifically intended to absorb transmitted sound, making it useful where reducing ventilation noise is important.

Can acoustic ducting be used for horticultural extraction?

Yes. It is well suited to indoor horticultural ventilation systems where temperature, humidity and air exchange need to be managed while keeping transmitted ventilation noise under control.

Can it be used for air intake?

Yes. Acoustic ducting can be incorporated into compatible intake as well as extraction systems.

Can I cut the 5m duct into shorter sections?

Yes. It can be cut to suit the required ventilation route or divided into several individual sections.

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 in acoustic ducting affect airflow?

Yes. Tight bends increase resistance and turbulence, so smooth and gradual changes in direction are preferable wherever possible.

Does duct length 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.

Does larger acoustic ducting need supporting?

Yes. Larger insulated duct should be supported appropriately so its weight is not carried entirely by the fan, filter or connecting fittings.

How should acoustic ducting be secured?

Use appropriately sized duct clamps or suitable ventilation fixings, with HVAC foil tape where additional sealing is required.

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.

254mm (10”) x 10m Acoustic Ducting - Insulated Flexible Ventilation Duct

£17.50

Please sign in to see pricing

254mm (10") x 10m Acoustic Ducting is an insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help reduce fan and airflow noise transmitted through high-capacity extraction and intake systems.

Powerful ventilation equipment can generate noise from both the fan itself and the movement of air through the system. Standard uninsulated ducting can allow this sound to travel along the ventilation route, while acoustic ducting incorporates an insulating layer around the inner duct to help absorb transmitted noise.

This makes it particularly useful for indoor horticulture, propagation areas, commercial growing areas and controlled growing environments where ventilation equipment may operate for extended periods and controlling unnecessary noise is important.

Supplied in a generous 10 metre length with a nominal 254mm / 10" diameter, it can be connected to compatible fans, carbon filters and ventilation fittings. Its flexible construction allows the duct to be routed around equipment and cut into the exact lengths required for the installation.

Why choose 254mm acoustic ducting?

Helps reduce ventilation noise - acoustic insulation helps absorb sound transmitted through the ductwork.
254mm / 10" diameter - suitable for compatible 10-inch ventilation equipment.
10 metre length - ideal for longer ventilation routes or cutting into several individual sections.
Insulated construction - designed to reduce transmitted sound compared with basic uninsulated flexible ducting.
Flexible installation - straightforward to route around fans, filters and other ventilation equipment.
Suitable for extraction - ideal for moving extracted air away from controlled growing areas.
Suitable for intake - can also be incorporated into compatible fresh-air intake systems.
Cut to length - use only the amount required for each part of the ventilation installation.
Suitable for larger growing environments - useful where substantial airflow and reduced transmitted noise are both required.

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 ventilation route.

It can be particularly useful around extraction fans, between compatible fans and carbon filters, and along longer sections of ductwork where transmitted ventilation 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 controlled growing environments

Effective ventilation is important for managing temperature, humidity and air exchange within indoor growing environments. Higher-capacity extraction and intake equipment can, however, become a significant source of environmental-control noise.

Acoustic ducting provides a practical way to reduce sound transmission while maintaining the flexibility needed to connect ventilation equipment and route air through the installation.

The 254mm / 10" size is suitable for compatible higher-capacity ventilation systems using appropriately sized inline fans, carbon filters, connectors and other round duct fittings.

The 10m length is particularly useful for larger growing areas, longer ventilation routes or installations requiring several separate sections of acoustic ducting.

Getting the best airflow from acoustic ducting

Correct duct 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 airflow resistance while leaving the remaining duct available for other parts of the ventilation installation.

Installing 254mm acoustic ducting

Before installation, check that the fan, carbon filter and other ventilation components have compatible nominal 254mm / 10" 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.

Larger insulated ducting should be supported appropriately rather than allowing its full weight to hang directly from a fan, carbon filter or connecting fitting.

Flexible ducting for controlled environment ventilation

Effective ventilation depends on moving air between components with as little unnecessary resistance as practical. Flexible COMBI ducting makes it easier to create a complete duct route without requiring rigid sections throughout the installation.

It is suitable for connecting compatible extraction fans, air filters and ventilation fittings in propagation areas, growing areas, nurseries and other controlled horticultural environments.

The duct can also be used for general ventilation applications where a flexible 127mm air duct is required.

Installing 127mm COMBI ducting

Extend the ducting to the required length and plan the route before making the final connections. Keeping the duct run reasonably direct helps reduce unnecessary airflow resistance.

Avoid excessively tight bends, severe compression or crushing the duct, as restrictions in the airflow path can reduce ventilation performance.

Fit the duct securely over compatible 127mm connections and use an appropriately sized ducting clip or clamp to create a reliable mechanical fixing. Suitable HVAC foil tape can also be used where additional air sealing is required.

Longer runs should be supported where necessary rather than allowing excessive sections of ducting to hang unsupported.

Getting the best airflow from flexible ducting

Flexible ducting provides considerable installation freedom, but the route of the duct still affects the performance of the ventilation system.

For efficient airflow, use the shortest practical duct route, minimise unnecessary bends and avoid leaving excessive compressed duct between components. Where a direction change is required, a gradual bend is preferable to a tightly folded section.

Fan performance should always be considered across the complete ventilation system, including the duct length, bends, filters, silencers, reducers and other fittings installed in the airflow path.

The performance of a ventilation system depends on more than fan capacity alone. Duct diameter, total duct length, bends, filters, reducers and other fittings all contribute to resistance within the airflow path.

Keep flexible ducting as straight and properly extended as practical. Where a direction change is required, use a gradual bend rather than sharply folding or compressing the duct.

There is no need to use the complete 5 metre length where a shorter connection is sufficient. Removing unnecessary duct length can help create a cleaner and less restrictive installation.

315mm (12.5”) Fast Clamp - Anti-Vibration Fan & Duct Connector

£3.35

Please sign in to see pricing

The 315mm (12.5") Fast Clamp provides a strong, secure and vibration-reducing connection between compatible circular ventilation components such as inline fans, filters and rigid duct fittings.

Rather than joining two pieces of ventilation equipment with a short section of flexible ducting, a Fast Clamp fits around the adjoining circular spigots to create a neat mechanical connection. This makes it particularly useful when installing fans directly alongside filters, silencers and other compatible ventilation equipment.

The galvanised steel outer band provides a strong connection, while the cushioned inner lining helps isolate vibration between connected components. Reducing the direct transfer of fan vibration into adjoining ductwork can help reduce structure-borne noise within a ventilation system.

The clamp can also be released when equipment needs to be removed, making it a practical choice for installations where fans or other components may require periodic inspection, cleaning or servicing.

Why use a 315mm Fast Clamp?

Secure mechanical connection - designed to join compatible 315mm circular ventilation components firmly together.
Anti-vibration lining - cushioned inner material helps reduce vibration transfer between connected equipment.
Helps control noise - isolating fan vibration can help reduce noise transmitted into adjoining ductwork.
Galvanised steel construction - strong metal outer band provides a durable connection.
Quick installation - wraps around adjoining circular connections and is tightened mechanically.
Easy equipment removal - the connection can be released when a fan or other component requires maintenance.
Professional installation - provides a neat alternative to improvised connections between compatible ventilation components.
Large 315mm size - suitable for compatible higher-airflow ventilation equipment with nominal 315mm connections.

Connecting fans, filters and ventilation equipment

Fast Clamps are particularly useful where two compatible pieces of circular ventilation equipment need to be connected directly together. Typical examples include joining an inline extraction fan to a filter or connecting a fan to compatible rigid circular ductwork.

The cushioned lining sits between the metal clamp and the connected components, helping provide a secure fit while reducing the direct transmission of vibration from operating equipment into the rest of the ventilation system.

This makes Fast Clamps useful in propagation facilities, nurseries, growing areas, controlled environments and general ventilation installations where both secure connections and vibration management are important.

How to install a 315mm Fast Clamp

Position the two compatible 315mm circular components together so that their connection points are correctly aligned. Open or loosen the Fast Clamp sufficiently to position it evenly around the joint.

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.

Connecting fans, filters and ventilation equipment

Fast Clamps are particularly useful where two compatible pieces of circular ventilation equipment need to be connected directly together. A common application is joining an inline extraction fan to a compatible filter, although they can also be used with suitable silencers, rigid circular ductwork and other ventilation fittings.

The cushioned inner lining sits between the outer clamp and the connected components. This helps create a secure fit while reducing the direct transmission of vibration from operating equipment into adjoining parts of the ventilation system.

This makes the 150mm Fast Clamp useful in propagation facilities, nurseries, growing areas, controlled environments and general ventilation installations where secure connections and vibration management are important.

How to install a 150mm Fast Clamp

Position the two compatible 150mm circular components together so their connection points are correctly aligned. Open or loosen the Fast Clamp sufficiently to position it evenly around the joint.

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.

150mm (6") Fast Clamp FAQs

What is a ventilation Fast Clamp?

A Fast Clamp is a mechanical connector designed to securely join compatible circular ventilation components while its cushioned inner lining helps isolate vibration between them.

What size is this Fast Clamp?

This model is designed for compatible ventilation components with a nominal 150mm / 6" circular connection.

Can I use it to connect a 6-inch fan to a filter?

Yes. Connecting compatible fans and filters is one of the common applications for a 150mm Fast Clamp.

Can it connect a fan directly to rigid ducting?

Yes, provided the components have compatible nominal 150mm circular connections suitable for this type of clamp.

Can a Fast Clamp connect a fan to a silencer?

Yes. It can be used between compatible 150mm circular fan and silencer connections where the equipment is correctly aligned and independently supported.

Does a Fast Clamp reduce vibration?

Yes. The cushioned inner lining helps isolate vibration rather than allowing it to transfer directly from an operating fan into adjoining ductwork or equipment.

Can reducing vibration make a ventilation system quieter?

It can help. Mechanical vibration transferred from a fan into ductwork can contribute to system noise, so isolating the connection can help reduce this source of transmitted noise.

Is the Fast Clamp made from metal?

Yes. The Fast Clamp uses a strong metal outer clamping band together with a cushioned inner lining.

Can the Fast Clamp be removed again?

Yes. The mechanical connection can be released, making it useful where equipment needs to be disconnected for inspection, cleaning or servicing.

Is a Fast Clamp suitable for a direct fan-to-filter connection?

Yes, where the fan and filter have compatible 150mm circular connections and both components are correctly supported.

Does the Fast Clamp support the weight of a fan or filter?

No. Fans, filters and other substantial ventilation equipment should be properly and independently supported. The Fast Clamp secures the connection rather than acting as the primary equipment support.

Why use a Fast Clamp instead of flexible ducting between components?

Where two compatible circular components are positioned directly together, a Fast Clamp provides a compact mechanical connection while also helping isolate vibration between the components.

Where can a 150mm Fast Clamp be used?

It is suitable for compatible circular ventilation systems in controlled environments, propagation facilities, nurseries, growing areas and other commercial or general ventilation applications.

£1.45

Please sign in to see pricing

The 100mm (4") Fast Clamp provides a strong, secure and vibration-reducing connection between compatible circular ventilation components such as inline fans, filters and rigid duct fittings.

Rather than joining two pieces of ventilation equipment with a short section of flexible ducting, a Fast Clamp fits around adjoining circular spigots to create a neat mechanical connection. This makes it particularly useful when installing fans directly alongside filters, silencers and other compatible ventilation equipment.

The strong metal outer band provides a secure connection, while the cushioned inner lining helps isolate vibration between connected components. Reducing the direct transfer of fan vibration into adjoining equipment and ductwork can help reduce structure-borne noise within the ventilation system.

The clamp can also be released when equipment needs to be removed, making it a practical choice for installations where fans, filters or other components require periodic inspection, cleaning or servicing.

Why use a 100mm Fast Clamp?

Secure mechanical connection - designed to join compatible 100mm circular ventilation components firmly together.
Anti-vibration lining - cushioned inner material helps reduce vibration transfer between connected equipment.
Helps control transmitted noise - reducing fan vibration entering adjoining components can help create a quieter installation.
