The U-GO 8" 200mm EC Extraction Fan delivers up to 1230m³/h of airflow using an efficient 9-pole digital EC brushless motor, with a detachable digital thermostatic controller included as standard for variable-speed and temperature-responsive ventilation control.

Designed for powerful but controllable air movement, the U-GO combines a 200mm / 8" connection with 1230m³/h maximum airflow. Its EC motor technology provides efficient variable-speed operation while producing the static pressure required to work effectively within real ventilation systems containing ducting, bends and carbon filters.

Unlike a basic fixed-speed extraction fan, the U-GO is supplied with its own detachable digital controller. This provides fully variable fan-speed control together with thermostatic temperature control, allowing ventilation to respond more closely to changing environmental conditions.

The fan is built around a sturdy steel housing with ABEC 7 ball bearings and is also compatible with external 0-10V control via RJ9 or RJ11 connection, providing additional options when integrating it into a more advanced environmental-control system.

Why choose the U-GO 8" EC Extraction Fan?

1230m³/h maximum airflow - substantial extraction capacity through a compact 200mm fan.
9-pole digital EC brushless motor - efficient electronically commutated motor technology designed for variable-speed ventilation.
Digital thermostatic controller included - no separate basic fan controller is required for standalone temperature-responsive operation.
Fully variable fan speed - adjust ventilation output to suit changing environmental requirements.
7.85 CFM per watt stated efficiency - designed to move substantial volumes of air efficiently.
Strong static-pressure performance - useful when airflow must overcome resistance from carbon filters and ductwork.
0-10V control compatible - supports external control via RJ9 or RJ11 connection.
Sturdy steel housing - robust construction for demanding ventilation installations.
ABEC 7 ball bearings - designed for smooth, reliable fan operation.
200mm / 8" connection - integrates with appropriately sized ducting, filters and ventilation fittings.

9-pole digital EC brushless motor

At the centre of the U-GO is a 9-pole digital EC brushless motor. EC stands for electronically commutated, combining a brushless motor design with electronic control.

This technology is particularly well suited to environmental ventilation because fan speed can be varied efficiently rather than relying solely on full-power operation.

U-GO states a fan efficiency of 7.85 CFM per watt, with the design intended to provide both strong linear airflow and static-pressure performance.

Static pressure becomes particularly important once a fan is connected to real ventilation equipment. Carbon filters, ducting, bends and other components all resist airflow, so a fan's ability to maintain useful airflow against resistance matters as much as its unrestricted maximum airflow figure.

Digital thermostatic controller included

Every U-GO fan is supplied with a detachable digital controller, giving the user direct control over fan operation without needing to purchase a separate basic speed controller.

The controller provides fully variable speed adjustment and thermostatic temperature control. This allows ventilation to be configured around the required environment rather than simply running the extraction fan at maximum speed continuously.

When environmental demand is lower, reducing fan speed can decrease unnecessary airflow, electrical consumption and ventilation noise. As additional cooling or air exchange becomes necessary, fan output can be increased.

This makes the U-GO particularly useful where ventilation requirements vary as lighting load, external temperature and other environmental conditions change.

1230m³/h high-airflow ventilation

The 8" U-GO provides a maximum airflow of 1230 cubic metres per hour, making it suitable for substantial intake or extraction applications.

Maximum airflow figures describe fan performance under defined conditions and should not be confused with the airflow that will necessarily be achieved after installation.

Carbon filters, long duct runs, tight bends, reducers, silencers and compressed flexible ducting all introduce resistance and can reduce actual system airflow.

Keeping the ventilation route short, correctly sized and as direct as practical helps the U-GO make better use of its available airflow and static-pressure capability.

0-10V environmental controller compatibility

In addition to its supplied digital controller, the U-GO supports 0-10V external control via RJ9 or RJ11 connection.

A 0-10V control signal allows compatible environmental-control equipment to regulate EC fan speed without controlling the fan by simply reducing its mains supply.

This provides scope for integrating the fan into more advanced ventilation strategies where compatible equipment is being used.

Always confirm the connection, control signal and cable requirements of the external controller before connecting third-party environmental-control equipment.

Ideal for carbon-filtered extraction

The U-GO's combination of high airflow and static-pressure performance makes it well suited to carbon-filtered extraction systems.

A carbon filter naturally creates resistance as air is pulled through the activated carbon bed. The fan therefore needs enough pressure capability to maintain the required ventilation rate once the filter is installed.

For best results, match the fan with a carbon filter of suitable airflow capacity and connection diameter. A variable-speed EC fan is particularly useful because airflow can then be adjusted to suit both the filter and the environmental requirement.

Getting the best performance from the U-GO 200mm Fan

Use 200mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
Keep duct runs as short and direct as the installation allows.
Minimise unnecessary tight bends and reductions.
Avoid crushing or heavily compressing flexible ducting.
Match carbon-filter airflow capacity appropriately to the fan.
Secure and support the fan correctly.
Use the supplied digital controller to avoid unnecessary full-speed operation.
Use compatible 0-10V control equipment where integration with a wider environmental-control system is required.

Correct ventilation design allows the fan to provide the required air exchange at the lowest practical operating speed, helping balance environmental control, energy use and noise.

Can I connect the U-GO to a carbon filter?

Yes. Its airflow and static-pressure capability make it suitable for carbon-filtered extraction when paired with an appropriately sized filter.

What size carbon filter should I use?

Ideally use a 200mm / 8" carbon filter with airflow capacity appropriate to the fan and required ventilation rate. Filter resistance should also be considered when sizing the complete system.

Will a carbon filter reduce the fan's 1230m³/h airflow?

Yes. A carbon filter creates resistance, so actual installed airflow will normally be lower than the fan's unrestricted maximum airflow rating.

What size ducting does the U-GO 8" fan require?

The fan has a nominal 200mm / 8" connection, so matching 200mm ducting and fittings should be used wherever practical.

Can I reduce the U-GO fan into smaller ducting?

A reducer can be used where necessary, but reducing duct diameter increases system resistance and air velocity and can reduce overall airflow.

U-GO 10” 250mm EC Extraction Fan 1840m³/h - Digital Thermostatic Controller Included

£119.00

Please sign in to see pricing

The U-GO 10" 250mm EC Extraction Fan delivers up to 1840m³/h of airflow using a 9-pole digital EC brushless motor, with a detachable digital thermostatic controller included for fully variable fan-speed and temperature-responsive ventilation control.

Designed for high-capacity ventilation systems, the U-GO combines a 250mm / 10" connection with 1840m³/h maximum airflow. Its EC motor technology provides efficient variable-speed operation together with strong static-pressure performance for installations containing carbon filters, ducting and other airflow restrictions.

A detachable digital controller is included, providing both variable fan-speed adjustment and thermostatic control. This allows ventilation to be matched more closely to changing environmental conditions instead of operating the fan continuously at maximum output.

The fan features a sturdy steel housing and ABEC 7 ball bearings. It is also compatible with external 0-10V control via RJ9 or RJ11 connection, providing additional flexibility for integration with suitable environmental-control equipment.

Why choose the U-GO 10" EC Extraction Fan?

1840m³/h maximum airflow - powerful ventilation capacity for larger controlled environments.
10" / 250mm connection - designed for high-airflow ventilation systems using large-diameter ductwork.
9-pole digital EC brushless motor - efficient electronically commutated motor technology designed for controllable ventilation.

0-10V controller compatible - supports external control through an appropriate RJ9 or RJ11 connection.
Sturdy steel housing - robust construction for demanding ventilation installations.
ABEC 7 ball bearings - precision bearings designed for smooth fan operation.

9-pole digital EC brushless motor

The U-GO uses a 9-pole digital EC brushless motor. EC, or electronically commutated, technology combines a brushless motor with electronic control to provide efficient variable-speed operation.

Variable-speed capability is particularly useful in controlled environments because maximum ventilation is not required continuously. Temperature and air-exchange requirements can change considerably throughout the day.

U-GO states a fan efficiency of 7.85 CFM per watt, with the fan designed to provide strong linear airflow together with useful static-pressure performance.

Static pressure is especially important once a fan is installed in a real ventilation system. Carbon filters, long duct runs, bends and other components all create resistance that the fan must overcome to maintain airflow.

Digital thermostatic controller included

The U-GO 250mm EC Fan is supplied with its own detachable digital controller, allowing fan speed and temperature-responsive ventilation to be managed without purchasing a separate basic speed controller.

Fully variable speed control allows the airflow to be reduced when maximum extraction is unnecessary and increased as ventilation demand rises.

Thermostatic control adds another level of automation by allowing ventilation to respond to environmental temperature.

Operating the fan only as hard as necessary can help reduce unnecessary energy consumption, airflow noise and excessive air exchange while maintaining the required environmental conditions.

1840m³/h high-capacity airflow

With a maximum airflow of 1840 cubic metres per hour, this 10" U-GO is designed for larger ventilation applications requiring substantial air movement.

Maximum airflow is not the same as the airflow that will necessarily be achieved once the fan is installed. Every component added to the system introduces some degree of resistance.

Carbon filters, silencers, duct length, bends, reducers and compressed flexible ducting can all lower the actual airflow delivered by the complete installation.

Keeping ductwork correctly sized, reasonably straight and free from unnecessary restrictions allows the fan to make better use of its available airflow and pressure capability.

250mm / 10" ventilation connection

The fan uses a nominal 250mm / 10" connection for integration with compatible high-airflow ducting, carbon filters and ventilation fittings.

Maintaining the 250mm diameter throughout as much of the system as practical helps minimise unnecessary static pressure and excessive air velocity.

Reducing immediately into substantially smaller ducting can restrict airflow and increase turbulence and noise, limiting the performance available from a high-capacity fan.

0-10V environmental controller compatibility

In addition to the supplied digital controller, the U-GO supports 0-10V external control via RJ9 or RJ11 connection.

A compatible 0-10V controller can regulate the EC fan through a low-voltage control signal rather than attempting to regulate fan speed by altering its mains power supply.

This provides additional options for integrating the U-GO into compatible environmental-control systems where centralised or automated fan-speed control is required.

Always confirm controller compatibility, cable configuration and control-signal requirements before connecting third-party equipment.

Excellent choice for carbon-filtered extraction

High-capacity carbon filters create significant resistance as air is drawn through the activated carbon bed. The extraction fan therefore needs both sufficient airflow and useful static-pressure capability.

The U-GO's combination of 1840m³/h maximum airflow, EC speed control and strong static-pressure performance makes it well suited to larger filtered extraction systems.

Ideally, use a carbon filter with a matching 250mm connection and an airflow rating appropriate to the fan's operating airflow.

Because the U-GO is fully variable, its output can be adjusted to match the carbon filter and environmental requirement rather than simply operating continuously at maximum speed.

Getting the best performance from the U-GO 250mm Fan

Use 250mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
Keep duct runs as short and direct as possible.
Minimise tight bends and unnecessary reductions.
Avoid crushing or heavily compressing flexible ducting.
Match carbon-filter capacity appropriately to the fan.
Securely support the fan and connected ventilation equipment.
Use the supplied digital controller to match airflow to environmental demand.
Use compatible 0-10V control equipment where external environmental control is required.

A properly designed ventilation system allows the fan to provide the required air exchange at the lowest practical operating speed, helping balance airflow, environmental stability, energy use and noise.

Will a carbon filter reduce the 1840m³/h airflow?

Yes. Carbon filters create airflow resistance, so actual installed airflow will normally be lower than the fan's unrestricted maximum airflow rating.

What size ducting does the U-GO 250mm fan require?

The fan has a nominal 250mm / 10" connection, so matching 250mm ducting and fittings should be used wherever practical.

U-GO Carbon Filter 8” 200mm x 600mm - Pro Grade 4/8 Activated Carbon Air Filter

£87.50

Please sign in to see pricing

The U-GO Carbon Filter 8" 200mm x 600mm is a premium activated carbon air filter engineered around carefully selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon, with an emphasis on high airflow, low restriction and dependable odour filtration.

U-GO takes a particularly selective approach to the carbon used inside its filters. Because activated carbon is a natural material and its quality can vary between production batches, U-GO states that it selects only the premium 20% of the carbon produced for use within its filtration range.

The carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected to provide the particle characteristics required for effective airflow. U-GO uses Pro Grade 4/8 carbon, with material that fails its quality and air-stream testing rejected rather than used within the filter.

The result is a 200mm carbon filter designed to combine effective odour adsorption with reduced airflow restriction, helping a correctly matched extraction fan maintain useful ventilation performance once the filter is installed.

Why choose the U-GO 8" Carbon Filter?

Premium carbon selection - U-GO states that only the top 20% of carbon produced is selected for its filters.
Pro Grade 4/8 carbon - selected particle size designed to balance filtration performance and airflow.
Independently batch tested - carbon quality is checked before being accepted for use.
De-dusted carbon - selected and processed to minimise excessive carbon dust.
Minimum 20% butane adsorption test requirement - carbon failing U-GO's specified air-stream quality testing is rejected.
Low-restriction design - engineered to maintain strong airflow through the filter.
200mm / 8" connection - integrates with compatible fans, ducting and ventilation fittings.
600mm filter body - provides substantial filtration capacity in a manageable format.
Designed for odour filtration - activated carbon adsorbs suitable gaseous odour compounds from extracted air.
Built for filtered extraction - suitable for pairing with an appropriately specified 200mm extraction fan.

Premium selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon

Not all activated carbon performs identically. Carbon is a natural material, so particle size, dust content and adsorption performance can vary between batches.

U-GO's approach is to grade the carbon before it reaches the finished filter. The brand states that it purchases only the premium 20% of available carbon, with the material independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected before use.

The filters use Pro Grade 4/8 carbon. Selecting a suitable carbon particle size is important because the carbon bed needs to provide a large adsorptive surface without creating excessive resistance to airflow.

Carbon that is too fine or excessively dusty can increase resistance. U-GO's carbon specification is intended to provide a balance between effective adsorption and the free movement of air through the filter.

Batch tested for carbon quality

U-GO states that its carbon is independently batch tested rather than assuming every batch of natural activated carbon will perform to the same standard.

The selection process includes assessment of carbon particle characteristics and air-stream performance, with a stated minimum 20% butane adsorption requirement.

Material that is too small, excessively dusty or does not meet the required testing standard is rejected rather than being used in the finished U-GO filter.

This quality-control approach is intended to provide more consistent filtration performance from one production batch to another.

How activated carbon removes odours

Activated carbon contains a huge network of microscopic pores. These pores give the carbon an extremely large internal surface area relative to its physical size.

As odour-bearing air passes through the carbon bed, suitable gaseous compounds adhere to the carbon surface through a process known as adsorption.

The effectiveness of the process depends on carbon quality, the amount of carbon available, airflow, contact time and the concentration of compounds being treated.

Carbon filtration is therefore different from simply trapping visible dust. Its main role is treating gaseous odour compounds carried within the extraction airstream.

Designed for high airflow with low restriction

Every carbon filter introduces some resistance because the air must travel through a bed of activated carbon before reaching the extraction fan.

U-GO places particular emphasis on reducing unnecessary restriction. Its selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon is intended to provide the particle characteristics required for good airflow without compromising the filter's ability to adsorb odour compounds.

This matters because the airflow quoted for an extraction fan is generally its maximum performance under defined conditions. Once a carbon filter, ducting, bends and other components are added, the actual airflow delivered by the system will be lower.

A lower-restriction filter helps preserve more of the fan's available airflow while still providing the carbon bed required for odour filtration.

200mm / 8" connection with 600mm body

This U-GO Carbon Filter has a nominal 200mm / 8" connection and a 600mm filter body.

Using matching 200mm ducting, fans and fittings wherever practical helps maintain an efficient airflow path through the ventilation system.

Reducing the duct diameter increases air velocity and system resistance, so unnecessary reductions should be avoided where maximum airflow performance is required.

Installing the U-GO Carbon Filter

In a typical filtered extraction system, air is drawn through the carbon filter before entering the extraction fan. The treated air then travels through the exhaust ductwork.

Fan and filter performance should be considered together. The fan needs sufficient pressure capability to overcome the resistance of the filter and duct system while remaining appropriately matched to the filter.

Support the filter securely and independently.
Use 200mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
Match the extraction fan appropriately to the filter and required airflow.
Keep duct runs as short and direct as possible.
Minimise unnecessary bends and reductions.
Keep connections secure to prevent untreated air bypass.
Avoid obstructing the filter's air-entry surface.

Carbon filter service life

Activated carbon has a finite adsorption capacity. As the filter processes contaminated air, compounds gradually occupy more of the available adsorption sites within the carbon.

U-GO's selected carbon and low-restriction filter design are intended to support effective filtration and a longer expected operating life, but actual service life will always depend on the installation.

Operating hours, airflow, environmental conditions and the concentration of compounds being removed can all affect how quickly a carbon filter becomes saturated.

If unwanted odours begin passing through despite correct ventilation operation and secure connections, the carbon filter may be approaching the end of its effective service life.

U-GO 8" 200mm x 600mm Carbon Filter FAQs

What size is this U-GO Carbon Filter?

This model has a nominal 200mm / 8" connection and a 600mm filter body.

What type of carbon does U-GO use?

U-GO specifies selected Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon for its carbon filter range.

What does Pro Grade 4/8 carbon mean?

It refers to the selected particle grade used within the filter. Carbon particle characteristics affect both adsorption and the resistance created as air passes through the carbon bed.

Why does U-GO select only part of each carbon supply?

Activated carbon is a natural material and its characteristics can vary between batches. U-GO states that it selects the premium 20% of carbon produced for use in its filters.

Is U-GO carbon batch tested?

Yes. U-GO states that its carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected before being used in its filters.

What is the 20% butane adsorption specification?

U-GO specifies a minimum 20% butane adsorption requirement as part of its carbon quality testing, with material that fails its required standard rejected.

Why does carbon particle size matter?

Particle characteristics influence both the available carbon surface and resistance to airflow. U-GO selects its Pro Grade 4/8 carbon to provide a balance between filtration and airflow.

Does U-GO de-dust its carbon?

Yes. De-dusting forms part of the stated U-GO carbon selection process and helps reduce unnecessary fine carbon material within the filter.

What size ducting should I use?

This model has a nominal 200mm / 8" connection, so matching 200mm ducting and fittings should be used wherever practical.

Can I use this with a 200mm extraction fan?

Yes. It is designed for integration into a 200mm ventilation system. Fan performance should also be matched to the airflow requirements and resistance of the complete installation.

Will a carbon filter reduce fan airflow?

Yes. All carbon beds introduce some resistance. U-GO's carbon selection and filter design place particular emphasis on maintaining airflow while still providing effective carbon filtration.

Can I reduce the filter into smaller ducting?

A suitable reducer can be used where required, but reducing duct diameter increases system resistance and may reduce available airflow.

How does the U-GO Carbon Filter remove odours?

Odour-bearing air passes through the activated carbon bed, where suitable gaseous compounds adsorb onto the enormous internal surface area of the carbon.

How long does a U-GO Carbon Filter last?

Actual service life depends on operating hours, airflow, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions, so a single replacement interval cannot accurately apply to every installation.

How do I know when the carbon filter needs replacing?

If unwanted odours begin passing through despite suitable airflow, secure connections and correct ventilation operation, the activated carbon may be approaching the end of its effective adsorption capacity.

The selection process includes assessment of carbon particle characteristics and air-stream performance, with a stated minimum 20% butane adsorption requirement.

Material that is too small, excessively dusty or does not meet the required testing standard is rejected rather than being used in the finished U-GO filter.

U-GO's selected carbon and low-restriction filter design are intended to support effective filtration and a longer expected operating life, but actual service life will always depend on the installation.

Operating hours, airflow, environmental conditions and the concentration of compounds being removed can all affect how quickly a carbon filter becomes saturated.

If unwanted odours begin passing through despite correct ventilation operation and secure connections, the carbon filter may be approaching the end of its effective service life.

U-GO 8" 200mm x 600mm Carbon Filter FAQs

What size is this U-GO Carbon Filter?

This model has a nominal 200mm / 8" connection and a 600mm filter body.

What type of carbon does U-GO use?

U-GO specifies selected Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon for its carbon filter range.

What does Pro Grade 4/8 carbon mean?

It refers to the selected particle grade used within the filter. Carbon particle characteristics affect both adsorption and the resistance created as air passes through the carbon bed.

Why does U-GO select only part of each carbon supply?

Activated carbon is a natural material and its characteristics can vary between batches. U-GO states that it selects the premium 20% of carbon produced for use in its filters.

Is U-GO carbon batch tested?

Yes. U-GO states that its carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected before being used in its filters.

What is the 20% butane adsorption specification?

U-GO specifies a minimum 20% butane adsorption requirement as part of its carbon quality testing, with material that fails its required standard rejected.

Why does carbon particle size matter?

Particle characteristics influence both the available carbon surface and resistance to airflow. U-GO selects its Pro Grade 4/8 carbon to provide a balance between filtration and airflow.

Does U-GO de-dust its carbon?

Yes. De-dusting forms part of the stated U-GO carbon selection process and helps reduce unnecessary fine carbon material within the filter.

What size ducting should I use?

This model has a nominal 200mm / 8" connection, so matching 200mm ducting and fittings should be used wherever practical.

Can I use this with a 200mm extraction fan?

Yes. It is designed for integration into a 200mm ventilation system. Fan performance should also be matched to the airflow requirements and resistance of the complete installation.

Will a carbon filter reduce fan airflow?

Yes. All carbon beds introduce some resistance. U-GO's carbon selection and filter design place particular emphasis on maintaining airflow while still providing effective carbon filtration.

Can I reduce the filter into smaller ducting?

A suitable reducer can be used where required, but reducing duct diameter increases system resistance and may reduce available airflow.

How does the U-GO Carbon Filter remove odours?

Odour-bearing air passes through the activated carbon bed, where suitable gaseous compounds adsorb onto the enormous internal surface area of the carbon.

How long does a U-GO Carbon Filter last?

Actual service life depends on operating hours, airflow, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions, so a single replacement interval cannot accurately apply to every installation.

How do I know when the carbon filter needs replacing?

If unwanted odours begin passing through despite suitable airflow, secure connections and correct ventilation operation, the activated carbon may be approaching the end of its effective adsorption capacity.

U-GO Carbon Filter 6” 150mm x 600mm - Pro Grade 4/8 Activated Carbon Air Filter

£69.50

Please sign in to see pricing

The U-GO Carbon Filter 6" 150mm x 600mm is a premium activated carbon air filter designed around carefully selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon, combining effective odour adsorption with high airflow and low restriction.

Activated carbon is a natural material, so its quality, particle characteristics and adsorption performance can vary between production batches. U-GO takes a selective approach, stating that only the premium 20% of carbon produced is purchased for use within its carbon filters.

The carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected to provide the particle characteristics required for effective filtration and airflow. U-GO specifies Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon, rejecting material that is excessively fine, dusty or fails its required air-stream testing.

With a 150mm / 6" connection and 600mm filter body, this model provides substantial carbon filtration capacity while integrating directly into appropriately sized 150mm extraction systems.

Why choose the U-GO 6" Carbon Filter?

Premium carbon selection - U-GO states that only the top 20% of available carbon is selected for its filters.
Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon - selected particle characteristics designed to balance filtration performance and airflow.
Independently batch tested - carbon quality is assessed before being accepted for use.
De-dusted carbon - selected and processed to minimise excessive fine carbon dust.
Minimum 20% butane adsorption test requirement - carbon failing U-GO's stated air-stream testing standard is rejected.
Low-restriction design - engineered to allow strong airflow through the carbon bed.
6" / 150mm connection - integrates with compatible 150mm fans, ducting and ventilation fittings.
600mm filter body - substantial filtration capacity for medium to higher-airflow systems.
Effective odour adsorption - activated carbon captures suitable gaseous odour compounds from extracted air.
Designed for filtered extraction - pairs with an appropriately specified extraction fan.

Premium selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon

The activated carbon inside a filter has a major influence on both odour adsorption and airflow resistance. Natural carbon can vary significantly between batches, which is why U-GO places particular emphasis on carbon selection.

U-GO states that it selects only the premium 20% of carbon produced. The carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected before being used within the finished filter.

The filter uses Pro Grade 4/8 carbon. Particle size is important because the carbon bed must provide extensive adsorptive surface area without becoming unnecessarily restrictive to airflow.

Material that is too fine or excessively dusty can increase resistance. U-GO's selected carbon grade is designed to achieve an effective balance between carbon filtration and the free movement of air through the filter.

Independently batch tested carbon

Rather than assuming every batch of activated carbon has identical characteristics, U-GO states that its carbon is independently batch tested before selection.

The process assesses the carbon for the characteristics required for effective air filtration, with U-GO specifying a minimum 20% butane adsorption requirement.

Carbon that is too small, excessively dusty or does not meet the required air-stream testing standard is rejected.

This selective approach is intended to provide more consistent filtration and airflow performance between filters.

How the U-GO Carbon Filter removes odours

Activated carbon is extremely porous. Its microscopic internal pore structure creates an enormous surface area relative to the physical volume of carbon inside the filter.

As odour-bearing air passes through the carbon bed, suitable gaseous compounds adhere to the carbon surface through a process known as adsorption.

Carbon quality, contact time, airflow and contaminant concentration all influence how effectively this process works.

The purpose of the U-GO filter is therefore different from simply trapping visible dust or particles. Its primary role is removing suitable gaseous odour compounds from the extraction airstream.

Designed for high airflow with low restriction

A carbon filter inevitably creates some resistance because the extraction fan must draw air through a packed carbon bed.

U-GO's use of selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon is intended to provide the particle characteristics required for effective adsorption without introducing unnecessary restriction.

This is important because an extraction fan's maximum airflow figure does not represent the airflow it will necessarily deliver once connected to a carbon filter and ductwork.

Carbon filters, duct length, bends, silencers, reducers and other ventilation components all add resistance. A low-restriction filter helps preserve more of the fan's available airflow within the completed system.

150mm / 6" connection with 600mm filter body

This U-GO Carbon Filter has a nominal 150mm / 6" connection and a 600mm-long filter body.

Using matching 150mm ducting, fans and ventilation fittings wherever practical helps maintain a consistent airflow path and avoids unnecessary restrictions.

Where a reduction in duct diameter is unavoidable, remember that smaller ducting increases air velocity and resistance and may reduce the airflow delivered by the complete ventilation system.

Installing the U-GO 150mm Carbon Filter

In a typical filtered extraction system, environmental air is drawn through the carbon filter before entering the extraction fan. The filtered air then continues through the exhaust ductwork.

Fan and filter selection should be considered together. The extraction fan needs sufficient pressure capability to overcome resistance from the carbon filter and duct system while maintaining the required ventilation rate.

Support the carbon filter securely and independently.
Use 150mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
Match the extraction fan appropriately to the filter and required airflow.
Keep duct runs short and direct where possible.
Minimise unnecessary tight bends and reductions.
Secure connections to prevent untreated air bypassing the filter.
Keep the filter's air-entry surface unobstructed.

Carbon filter life & replacement

Activated carbon does not last indefinitely. As the filter processes contaminated air, compounds progressively occupy available adsorption sites within the carbon.

U-GO's selected carbon and low-restriction design are intended to provide effective filtration and a longer expected operating life, but actual service life depends heavily on how and where the filter is used.

Operating hours, airflow, environmental conditions and the concentration of odour compounds all influence how quickly the activated carbon becomes saturated.

If unwanted odours begin passing through the extraction system despite suitable airflow and secure connections, the carbon may be approaching the end of its effective adsorption capacity.

The U-GO Carbon Filter 6" 150mm x 300mm is a compact activated carbon air filter built around carefully selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon, combining effective odour adsorption with high airflow and low restriction.

Activated carbon is a natural material, so its quality and particle characteristics can vary from batch to batch. U-GO takes a selective approach to the carbon used in its filters, stating that it purchases only the premium 20% of carbon produced.

The carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected before use. U-GO specifies Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon, with material that is excessively fine, dusty or fails its required air-stream testing rejected.

With a 150mm / 6" connection and compact 300mm filter body, this version provides the U-GO filtration approach in a shorter format for 150mm extraction systems where installation space is more limited.

Why choose the U-GO 6" x 300mm Carbon Filter?

Premium selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon

Carbon quality is one of the most important factors in an activated carbon filter. Natural carbon can vary in particle size, dust content and adsorption performance, so U-GO places particular emphasis on selecting the material used inside its filters.

U-GO states that it purchases only the premium 20% of carbon produced. The selected carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and checked before being used within the finished filter.

The range uses Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon. Carbon particle characteristics matter because the filter needs to provide a substantial adsorptive surface while still allowing air to travel through the carbon bed efficiently.

Material that is excessively fine or dusty can create unnecessary resistance. U-GO's selected 4/8 grade is intended to provide an effective balance between odour filtration and airflow.

Independently batch tested carbon

U-GO states that its activated carbon is independently batch tested rather than assuming every batch of natural carbon will perform identically.

The selection process checks the carbon for the characteristics required for air filtration, including a stated minimum 20% butane adsorption requirement.

Carbon that is too small, excessively dusty or does not meet the required air-stream test is rejected rather than being used within the finished filter.

This quality-control process is intended to provide more consistent filtration and airflow performance across the U-GO carbon filter range.

How activated carbon removes unwanted odours

Activated carbon has an extremely porous internal structure. Its network of microscopic pores creates an enormous internal surface area relative to the physical amount of carbon inside the filter.

As odour-bearing air passes through the carbon bed, suitable gaseous compounds adhere to this surface through a process known as adsorption.

The effectiveness of carbon filtration is influenced by carbon quality, airflow, contact time, environmental conditions and the concentration of the compounds being treated.

The U-GO filter is therefore primarily designed to treat gaseous odour compounds carried in the extraction airstream rather than functioning simply as a particulate filter.

Designed for airflow with low restriction

Every carbon filter introduces some airflow resistance because the extraction fan has to draw air through a packed bed of activated carbon.

U-GO's use of selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon is intended to provide the particle characteristics needed for effective adsorption without creating unnecessary restriction.

This matters when designing a complete ventilation system. Once a carbon filter, ducting, bends and other components are connected, the actual airflow delivered by an extraction fan will normally be lower than its unrestricted maximum airflow figure.

A low-restriction carbon filter helps preserve more of the fan's available airflow while still providing the activated carbon required for odour filtration.

Compact 150mm x 300mm format

This model combines a nominal 150mm / 6" connection with a 300mm filter body.

Its shorter format makes it particularly useful where available installation space is restricted, while retaining compatibility with appropriately sized 150mm ventilation equipment.

For systems where space permits and greater carbon capacity is required, longer U-GO filters are also available. The correct filter should be selected according to the fan, required airflow, available space and overall ventilation design.

Installing the U-GO 150mm Carbon Filter

A typical filtered extraction system draws environmental air through the carbon filter before it reaches the extraction fan. The treated air then continues through the exhaust ductwork.

Fan and filter selection should be considered together. The extraction fan needs sufficient performance to overcome resistance from the filter and duct system while maintaining the required ventilation rate.

Support the filter securely and independently.
Use 150mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
Match the extraction fan appropriately to the filter.
Keep duct runs as short and direct as possible.
Minimise unnecessary tight bends and reductions.
Secure connections to minimise untreated air bypass.
Keep the filter's air-entry surface unobstructed.

Carbon filter life & replacement

Activated carbon has a finite adsorption capacity. As the filter operates, gaseous compounds progressively occupy available adsorption sites within the carbon.

U-GO's selected carbon and low-restriction design are intended to provide effective filtration with a longer expected operating life, but actual service life will depend on the conditions in which the filter is used.

Operating hours, airflow, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions can all influence how quickly the activated carbon becomes saturated.

If unwanted odours begin passing through the extraction system despite suitable airflow and secure connections, the carbon may be approaching the end of its effective adsorption capacity.

Premium selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon

Carbon quality has a major influence on the performance of an activated carbon filter. Natural carbon can vary in particle size, dust content and adsorption performance, which is why U-GO places particular emphasis on the material selected for its filters.

U-GO states that it purchases only the premium 20% of carbon produced. The selected carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and checked before being used within the finished filter.

The filter uses Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon. Particle characteristics are important because the carbon bed needs to provide extensive adsorptive surface area while still allowing air to pass through efficiently.

Carbon that is excessively fine or dusty can create unnecessary airflow resistance. U-GO's selected 4/8 grade is intended to provide an effective balance between odour filtration and airflow.

Independently batch tested carbon

Rather than assuming every batch of activated carbon has identical characteristics, U-GO states that its carbon is independently batch tested before selection.

The process assesses the carbon for characteristics required for effective air filtration, with U-GO specifying a minimum 20% butane adsorption requirement.

Carbon that is too small, excessively dusty or does not meet the required air-stream testing standard is rejected rather than being used within the finished filter.

This selection process is intended to provide more consistent filtration and airflow performance from one filter to another.

How activated carbon removes unwanted odours

Activated carbon contains an enormous network of microscopic pores. This creates a very large internal surface area relative to the physical amount of carbon inside the filter.

As odour-bearing air passes through the carbon bed, suitable gaseous compounds adhere to the carbon surface through a process known as adsorption.

Carbon quality, airflow, contact time and contaminant concentration all influence the effectiveness of this process.

The U-GO filter is therefore primarily designed to remove suitable gaseous odour compounds from extracted air rather than simply functioning as a particulate or dust filter.

Designed for airflow with low restriction

Every carbon filter introduces some resistance because the extraction fan has to pull air through a packed bed of activated carbon.

U-GO's use of selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon is intended to provide the particle characteristics required for effective adsorption without creating unnecessary restriction.

This is important because an extraction fan's maximum airflow figure will normally fall once a carbon filter, ducting, bends and other ventilation components are connected.

A lower-restriction carbon filter helps preserve more of the fan's available airflow while still providing the carbon bed required for effective odour filtration.

Compact 125mm x 300mm format

This model combines a nominal 125mm / 5" connection with a 300mm filter body.

Its compact dimensions make it particularly useful in smaller ventilation installations or where available space for the filter is limited.

Using matching 125mm ducting, fans and ventilation fittings wherever practical helps maintain a consistent airflow path and avoids unnecessary reductions.

Filter size should be selected according to the extraction fan, required airflow, available installation space and overall ventilation design rather than connection diameter alone.

Installing the U-GO 125mm Carbon Filter

In a typical filtered extraction system, environmental air is drawn through the carbon filter before entering the extraction fan. The treated air then continues through the exhaust ductwork.

Premium selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon

Carbon quality has a major influence on the performance of an activated carbon filter. Natural carbon can vary in particle size, dust content and adsorption performance, which is why U-GO places particular emphasis on the material selected for its filters.

U-GO states that it purchases only the premium 20% of carbon produced. The selected material is independently batch tested, de-dusted and checked before being used within the finished filter.

The filter uses Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon. Particle characteristics are important because the carbon bed needs to provide extensive adsorptive surface area while still allowing air to travel through efficiently.

Carbon that is excessively fine or dusty can create unnecessary airflow resistance. U-GO's selected 4/8 grade is intended to provide an effective balance between odour filtration and airflow.

Independently batch tested carbon

Rather than assuming every batch of activated carbon has identical characteristics, U-GO states that its carbon is independently batch tested before selection.

The process assesses the carbon for characteristics required for effective air filtration, with U-GO specifying a minimum 20% butane adsorption requirement.

Carbon that is too small, excessively dusty or does not meet the required air-stream testing standard is rejected rather than being used within the finished filter.

This quality-control process is intended to provide more consistent filtration and airflow performance throughout the U-GO carbon filter range.

How activated carbon removes unwanted odours

Activated carbon contains a vast network of microscopic pores. This creates an extremely large internal surface area relative to the physical amount of carbon inside the filter.

As odour-bearing air passes through the carbon bed, suitable gaseous compounds adhere to the carbon surface through a process known as adsorption.

Carbon quality, airflow, contact time and contaminant concentration all influence the effectiveness of this process.

The U-GO filter is therefore primarily designed to treat gaseous odour compounds carried within extracted air rather than simply acting as a dust or particulate filter.

Designed for airflow with low restriction

Every activated carbon filter introduces some resistance because the extraction fan has to draw air through a packed carbon bed.

U-GO's use of selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon is intended to provide the particle characteristics needed for effective adsorption without creating unnecessary restriction.

This becomes important when designing a complete ventilation system. An extraction fan's maximum airflow will normally reduce once a carbon filter, ducting, bends and other ventilation components are connected.

A low-restriction carbon filter helps preserve more of the fan's available airflow while still providing the activated carbon required for effective odour filtration.

Compact 100mm x 300mm format

This model combines a nominal 100mm / 4" connection with a 300mm filter body, making it the compact option for smaller-diameter ventilation systems.

Its short body is particularly useful where available installation space is restricted and a larger carbon filter would be difficult to accommodate.

Using matching 100mm ducting, fans and ventilation fittings wherever practical helps maintain a consistent airflow path without introducing unnecessary reducers.

Filter selection should take into account the extraction fan, required airflow, available space and resistance of the complete ventilation system rather than connection diameter alone.

Installing the U-GO 100mm Carbon Filter

In a typical filtered extraction system, environmental air is drawn through the carbon filter before entering the extraction fan. The treated air then continues through the exhaust ductwork.

Fan and filter performance should be considered together. The fan needs sufficient pressure capability to overcome resistance from the carbon filter and ductwork while maintaining the required ventilation rate.

Support the filter securely and independently.
Use 100mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
Match the extraction fan appropriately to the filter and required airflow.
Keep duct runs as short and direct as possible.
Minimise unnecessary tight bends and reductions.
Secure connections to minimise untreated air bypass.
Keep the filter's air-entry surface unobstructed.

Carbon filter life & replacement

Activated carbon has a finite adsorption capacity. As contaminated air passes through the filter, gaseous compounds progressively occupy available adsorption sites within the carbon.

U-GO's selected carbon and low-restriction design are intended to provide effective filtration and a longer expected operating life, but actual service life depends on the installation and operating conditions.

Operating hours, airflow, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions can all influence how quickly the activated carbon becomes saturated.

If unwanted odours begin passing through despite correct ventilation operation and secure connections, the carbon may be approaching the end of its effective adsorption capacity.

Please sign in to see pricing

The U-GO Carbon Filter 12.5" 315mm x 600mm is a large-diameter activated carbon air filter built around carefully selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon, combining effective odour adsorption with high airflow and low restriction.

Activated carbon is a natural material, which means its quality, particle characteristics and adsorption performance can vary from batch to batch. U-GO takes a selective approach to the carbon used inside its filters, stating that it purchases only the premium 20% of carbon produced.

The carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected before use. U-GO specifies Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon, with material that is excessively fine, dusty or fails its required air-stream testing rejected rather than used within the finished filter.

With a substantial 315mm / 12.5" connection and 600mm filter body, this model is designed for high-airflow extraction systems where effective odour control needs to be combined with minimal unnecessary airflow restriction.

Why choose the U-GO 12.5" Carbon Filter?

Premium selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon

Carbon quality has a major influence on the performance of an activated carbon filter. Natural carbon can vary in particle size, dust content and adsorption capability, so U-GO places particular emphasis on selecting the material used inside its filters.

U-GO states that it purchases only the premium 20% of carbon produced. The selected carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and checked before being used within the finished filter.

The U-GO range uses Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon. Particle characteristics are important because the carbon bed needs to provide extensive adsorptive surface area while still allowing large volumes of air to travel through efficiently.

Carbon that is excessively fine or dusty can create unnecessary resistance. U-GO's selected 4/8 grade is intended to achieve an effective balance between odour filtration and airflow.

Independently batch tested carbon

U-GO states that its activated carbon is independently batch tested rather than assuming every batch of natural carbon will perform to the same standard.

The selection process assesses the carbon for characteristics required for effective air filtration, with U-GO specifying a minimum 20% butane adsorption requirement.

Carbon that is too small, excessively dusty or does not meet the required air-stream testing standard is rejected rather than being used within the finished filter.

This quality-control approach is intended to provide more consistent filtration and airflow performance throughout the U-GO carbon filter range.

How activated carbon removes unwanted odours

Activated carbon contains an enormous network of microscopic pores. These create a very large internal surface area relative to the physical volume of carbon inside the filter.

As odour-bearing air passes through the carbon bed, suitable gaseous compounds adhere to the carbon surface through a process known as adsorption.

Carbon quality, airflow, contact time, environmental conditions and contaminant concentration all influence the effectiveness of this process.

The U-GO filter is therefore primarily designed to treat gaseous odour compounds carried within extracted air rather than simply acting as a dust or particulate filter.

Designed for high airflow with low restriction

Airflow resistance becomes particularly important in a large 315mm ventilation system. Even a powerful extraction fan can lose significant airflow when resistance is introduced by a carbon filter, long duct runs, bends, silencers and other components.

U-GO's use of selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon is intended to provide effective adsorption without unnecessarily restricting the movement of air through the carbon bed.

The filter's large 315mm / 12.5" connection also allows it to form part of a high-volume ventilation system without immediately forcing the airflow through a smaller-diameter connection.

Maintaining the 315mm diameter through as much of the ventilation system as practical helps minimise additional resistance and allows the extraction equipment to operate more efficiently.

315mm / 12.5" connection with 600mm body

This U-GO Carbon Filter combines a nominal 315mm / 12.5" connection with a 600mm filter body.

The large diameter makes it particularly suited to high-airflow ventilation installations where smaller duct sizes would create excessive air velocity and resistance.

Using matching 315mm ducting, fans and fittings wherever practical provides the most direct airflow path through the system.

If reducers are required, they should be considered carefully because a significant reduction in duct diameter can increase resistance, turbulence and airflow noise while reducing overall system performance.

Installing the U-GO 315mm Carbon Filter

In a typical filtered extraction system, environmental air is drawn through the carbon filter before entering the extraction fan. The treated air then continues through the exhaust ductwork.

Fan and filter performance should be considered together. A high-capacity extraction fan needs sufficient static-pressure capability to overcome resistance from the carbon bed and the remainder of the duct system while maintaining the required airflow.

Support the carbon filter securely and independently.
Use 315mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
Match the extraction fan appropriately to the filter and required airflow.
Keep duct runs as short and direct as the installation allows.
Minimise unnecessary tight bends and reductions.
Secure all connections to minimise untreated air bypass.
Keep the filter's air-entry surface unobstructed.
Allow sufficient space around the filter for unrestricted air entry.

Carbon filter life & replacement

Activated carbon has a finite adsorption capacity. As contaminated air passes through the filter, gaseous compounds progressively occupy the available adsorption sites within the carbon.

U-GO's selected carbon and low-restriction design are intended to provide effective filtration and a longer expected operating life, but actual service life depends heavily on operating conditions.

Operating hours, airflow, environmental conditions and the concentration of odour compounds being treated can all affect how quickly the activated carbon becomes saturated.

If unwanted odours begin passing through despite suitable airflow, correct installation and secure connections, the carbon may be approaching the end of its effective adsorption capacity.

Premium selected Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon

The quality of the activated carbon has a major influence on both filtration performance and airflow resistance. Natural carbon can vary significantly in particle size, dust content and adsorption characteristics.

U-GO states that it purchases only the premium 20% of carbon produced. The selected material is independently batch tested, de-dusted and checked before being used within its filters.

The range uses Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon. The particle characteristics of the carbon are important because the filter needs to expose contaminated air to a large adsorptive surface without creating excessive resistance to the extraction fan.

Carbon that is excessively fine or dusty can restrict airflow. U-GO's selected 4/8 grade is intended to provide the balance required between effective odour adsorption and efficient air movement.

Independently batch tested carbon

U-GO states that its carbon is independently batch tested rather than assuming that every batch of natural activated carbon will provide identical performance.

The selection process assesses the carbon for the characteristics required for effective air filtration, with U-GO specifying a minimum 20% butane adsorption requirement.

Carbon that is too small, excessively dusty or does not meet the required air-stream testing standard is rejected.

This selection and testing process is designed to provide more consistent carbon quality, reduced dust and dependable filtration performance.

How activated carbon removes unwanted odours

Activated carbon contains an enormous network of microscopic pores. This gives the carbon an exceptionally large internal surface area relative to its physical volume.

As odour-bearing air is drawn through the filter, suitable gaseous compounds adhere to the surface of the activated carbon through a process known as adsorption.

Carbon quality, airflow, contact time, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions all influence the effectiveness of this process.

The filter is therefore primarily intended to treat suitable gaseous odour compounds carried within the extraction airstream rather than simply trapping visible dust or particles.

Up to 4000m³/h high-airflow filtration

This 315mm x 1200mm U-GO Carbon Filter is specified for airflow of up to 4000m³/h, making it suitable for high-capacity ventilation installations.

Carbon filtration inevitably creates some resistance because the extraction fan must pull air through a packed carbon bed. At high airflow rates, keeping this resistance under control becomes particularly important.

U-GO's selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon and low-restriction filter design are intended to maintain strong airflow while still providing the carbon contact required for effective odour adsorption.

The filter should still be considered as part of the complete ventilation system. Duct length, bends, silencers, reducers and other components can all increase static pressure and reduce the actual airflow delivered.

315mm connection with a 1200mm filter body

The combination of a 315mm / 12.5" connection and 1200mm filter body makes this one of the larger U-GO filtration options.

The 315mm connection allows large volumes of air to move through the system without immediately being forced through a smaller duct diameter, while the extended 1200mm body provides substantial carbon filtration capacity.

Using matching 315mm fans, ducting and fittings wherever practical helps maintain a consistent airflow path and reduces unnecessary system resistance.

Where reducers are unavoidable, remember that reducing duct diameter increases air velocity and resistance and can significantly affect the performance of a high-airflow system.

Installing the U-GO 315mm x 1200mm Carbon Filter

In a typical filtered extraction arrangement, environmental air is drawn through the carbon filter before entering the extraction fan. The treated air then continues through the exhaust ductwork.

Fan and filter performance should be considered together. For a filter capable of handling up to 4000m³/h, the extraction fan needs sufficient airflow and static-pressure capability to overcome resistance from the carbon bed and the remainder of the ventilation system.

Support the filter securely and independently.
Use 315mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
Match the fan to the filter and required system airflow.
Consider the fan's performance under static pressure rather than unrestricted airflow alone.
Keep duct runs as short and direct as practical.
Minimise unnecessary tight bends and diameter reductions.
Secure connections to minimise untreated air bypass.
Keep the filter's air-entry surface unobstructed.
Allow adequate clearance around the filter for unrestricted air entry.

Carbon filter life & replacement

Activated carbon has a finite adsorption capacity. As contaminated air passes through the filter, gaseous compounds progressively occupy the available adsorption sites within the carbon.

U-GO's selected carbon and low-restriction design are intended to provide effective filtration with a longer expected operating life, but actual service life varies according to the application.

Operating hours, airflow, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions can all influence how quickly the activated carbon becomes saturated.

If unwanted odours begin passing through despite suitable airflow, correct installation and secure duct connections, the carbon may be approaching the end of its effective adsorption capacity.

Does a carbon filter reduce extraction airflow?

Yes. Every carbon filter creates some resistance. U-GO's selected carbon grade and low-restriction design are intended to maintain strong airflow while providing effective filtration.

Can I reduce the 315mm connection into smaller ducting?

A suitable reducer can be used where necessary, but reducing duct diameter increases air velocity and resistance and can significantly reduce airflow in a high-volume system.

Premium selected Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon

Carbon quality is fundamental to the performance of an activated carbon filter. Natural carbon can vary significantly in particle size, dust content and adsorption characteristics, all of which can affect filtration and airflow.

U-GO states that it purchases only the premium 20% of carbon produced. The selected material is independently batch tested, de-dusted and checked before being used within its filters.

The U-GO range uses Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon. Particle characteristics matter because the carbon bed must provide extensive adsorptive surface area while still allowing the extraction fan to move air efficiently through the filter.

Carbon that is excessively fine or dusty can create unnecessary resistance. U-GO's selected 4/8 grade is intended to achieve an effective balance between odour adsorption and airflow.

Independently batch tested carbon

U-GO states that its activated carbon is independently batch tested rather than assuming every batch of natural carbon will provide identical performance.

The selection process assesses the carbon for the characteristics required for effective air filtration, with U-GO specifying a minimum 20% butane adsorption requirement.

Carbon that is too small, excessively dusty or does not meet the required air-stream testing standard is rejected rather than being used within the finished filter.

This quality-control process is intended to provide more consistent carbon quality, reduced dust and dependable filtration performance across the U-GO range.

How activated carbon removes unwanted odours

Activated carbon contains an enormous network of microscopic pores. This gives the carbon a very large internal surface area relative to its physical volume.

As odour-bearing air is drawn through the filter, suitable gaseous compounds adhere to the surface of the activated carbon through a process known as adsorption.

Carbon quality, airflow, contact time, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions all influence the effectiveness of this process.

The U-GO filter is therefore primarily intended to treat suitable gaseous odour compounds carried within the extraction airstream rather than simply trapping visible dust or particles.

High-airflow, low-restriction filtration

Carbon filtration inevitably creates some resistance because the extraction fan must draw air through a packed bed of activated carbon. In a large-volume ventilation system, keeping that resistance under control is particularly important.

U-GO's selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon is intended to provide the particle characteristics required for effective adsorption while avoiding unnecessary airflow restriction.

The filter's large 315mm / 12.5" connection also allows it to form part of a substantial ventilation system without immediately forcing the airflow through a smaller-diameter connection.

Actual system airflow will depend on the complete installation. The carbon filter, duct length, bends, silencers, reducers and other components all contribute to static pressure and can reduce the airflow delivered by the extraction fan.

315mm connection with a 1000mm filter body

This U-GO Carbon Filter combines a nominal 315mm / 12.5" connection with a 1000mm filter body.

The large connection diameter is particularly suited to high-volume ventilation installations where reducing the system to smaller ducting could create excessive air velocity and resistance.

The extended 1000mm body provides substantial activated carbon filtration capacity while retaining direct compatibility with appropriately sized 315mm ventilation equipment.

Using matching 315mm fans, ducting and fittings wherever practical helps maintain a consistent airflow path and minimises unnecessary system resistance.

In a typical filtered extraction arrangement, environmental air is drawn through the carbon filter before entering the extraction fan. The treated air then continues through the exhaust ductwork.

Fan and filter performance should be considered together. The extraction fan needs sufficient airflow and static-pressure capability to overcome resistance from the carbon bed and the remainder of the ventilation system while maintaining the required air-exchange rate.

Support the filter securely and independently.
Use 315mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
Match the extraction fan appropriately to the filter and required system airflow.
Consider fan performance under static pressure rather than unrestricted airflow alone.
Keep duct runs as short and direct as practical.
Minimise unnecessary tight bends and diameter reductions.
Secure connections to minimise untreated air bypass.
Keep the filter's air-entry surface unobstructed.
Allow adequate clearance around the filter for unrestricted air entry.

Carbon filter life & replacement

Activated carbon has a finite adsorption capacity. As contaminated air passes through the filter, gaseous compounds progressively occupy the available adsorption sites within the carbon.

U-GO's selected carbon and low-restriction design are intended to provide effective filtration with a longer expected operating life, but actual service life depends heavily on the application and operating conditions.

Operating hours, airflow, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions can all influence how quickly the activated carbon becomes saturated.

If unwanted odours begin passing through despite suitable airflow, correct installation and secure duct connections, the activated carbon may be approaching the end of its effective adsorption capacity.

U-GO 12.5" 315mm x 1000mm Carbon Filter FAQs

What size is this U-GO Carbon Filter?

This model has a nominal 315mm / 12.5" connection and a 1000mm-long filter body.

What type of activated carbon does U-GO use?

U-GO specifies selected Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon for its carbon filter range.

What does Pro Grade 4/8 carbon mean?

It refers to the selected particle grade used within the filter. Particle characteristics influence both adsorption performance and resistance to airflow through the carbon bed.

Why does U-GO select only part of its carbon supply?

Activated carbon is a natural material and its characteristics can vary between batches. U-GO states that it selects only the premium 20% of carbon produced for use within its filters.

Is U-GO activated carbon batch tested?

Yes. U-GO states that its carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected before being used within its filters.

What is the minimum 20% butane adsorption specification?

U-GO specifies a minimum 20% butane adsorption requirement as part of its carbon quality testing, with material that fails the required standard rejected.

Why does activated carbon particle size matter?

Particle characteristics affect both adsorption and airflow. Excessively fine or dusty carbon can increase resistance through the filter.

Does U-GO de-dust its activated carbon?

Yes. De-dusting forms part of U-GO's stated carbon selection and preparation process.

What size ducting should I use?

The filter has a nominal 315mm / 12.5" connection, so matching 315mm ducting and fittings should be used wherever practical.

Can I use this with a 315mm extraction fan?

Yes. It is designed for integration into a 315mm ventilation system. The fan should also be appropriately matched to the filter and the resistance of the complete installation.

What is the advantage of the 1000mm filter body?

The extended filter body provides substantial activated carbon filtration capacity for larger ventilation systems while retaining a 315mm connection.

Will a carbon filter reduce extraction airflow?

Yes. Every carbon filter creates some resistance. U-GO's selected carbon grade and low-restriction design are intended to maintain strong airflow while providing effective filtration.

Can I reduce the 315mm connection into smaller ducting?

A suitable reducer can be used where necessary, but reducing duct diameter increases air velocity and resistance and can significantly reduce airflow in a high-volume system.

How does activated carbon remove unwanted odours?

Odour-bearing air passes through the activated carbon bed, where suitable gaseous compounds adsorb onto the enormous internal surface area of the carbon.

How do I know when the carbon filter needs replacing?

If unwanted odours begin passing through despite correct ventilation operation and secure connections, the activated carbon may be approaching the end of its effective adsorption capacity.

Please sign in to see pricing

The U-GO Carbon Filter 10" 250mm x 600mm is a high-capacity activated carbon air filter built around carefully selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon, combining effective odour adsorption with strong airflow and low restriction.

Activated carbon is a natural material, so its quality, particle characteristics and adsorption performance can vary from batch to batch. U-GO takes a selective approach to the carbon used within its filters, stating that it purchases only the premium 20% of carbon produced.

The carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected before use. U-GO specifies Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon, with material that is excessively fine, dusty or fails its required air-stream testing rejected rather than used within the finished filter.

With a 250mm / 10" connection and 600mm filter body, this model is designed for larger extraction systems where effective odour filtration needs to be combined with efficient movement of air.

Premium selected Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon

Carbon quality has a major influence on the performance of an activated carbon filter. Natural carbon can vary in particle size, dust content and adsorption capability, which is why U-GO places particular emphasis on selecting the material used within its filters.

U-GO states that it purchases only the premium 20% of carbon produced. The selected carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and checked before being used within the finished filter.

The filter uses Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon. Particle characteristics are important because the carbon bed needs to provide extensive adsorptive surface area while still allowing substantial volumes of air to pass through efficiently.

Carbon that is excessively fine or dusty can create unnecessary airflow resistance. U-GO's selected 4/8 grade is intended to provide an effective balance between odour filtration and airflow.

Independently batch tested carbon

U-GO states that its activated carbon is independently batch tested rather than assuming every batch of natural carbon will provide identical performance.

The selection process assesses the carbon for characteristics required for effective air filtration, with U-GO specifying a minimum 20% butane adsorption requirement.

Carbon that is too small, excessively dusty or does not meet the required air-stream testing standard is rejected rather than being used within the finished filter.

This quality-control process is intended to provide more consistent filtration and airflow performance throughout the U-GO carbon filter range.

How activated carbon removes unwanted odours

Activated carbon contains an enormous network of microscopic pores. This creates a very large internal surface area relative to the physical volume of carbon within the filter.

As odour-bearing air passes through the carbon bed, suitable gaseous compounds adhere to the carbon surface through a process known as adsorption.

Carbon quality, airflow, contact time, environmental conditions and contaminant concentration all influence the effectiveness of this process.

The U-GO filter is therefore primarily designed to treat suitable gaseous odour compounds carried within extracted air rather than simply acting as a dust or particulate filter.

Designed for high airflow with low restriction

Every carbon filter introduces some airflow resistance because the extraction fan must draw air through a packed carbon bed.

U-GO's use of selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon is intended to provide the particle characteristics required for effective adsorption without creating unnecessary restriction.

This is particularly important in larger 250mm ventilation systems, where maintaining duct diameter and minimising system resistance helps preserve the airflow available from the extraction fan.

Actual airflow will depend on the complete installation. Carbon filtration, duct length, bends, silencers, reducers and other ventilation components can all increase static pressure and reduce the airflow delivered by the fan.

250mm / 10" connection with 600mm filter body

This U-GO Carbon Filter combines a nominal 250mm / 10" connection with a 600mm filter body.

The large connection diameter makes it suitable for substantial ventilation systems while the 600mm body provides significant activated carbon filtration capacity.

Using matching 250mm fans, ducting and ventilation fittings wherever practical helps maintain a consistent airflow path through the system.

Where reducers are required, remember that reducing duct diameter increases air velocity and resistance and may reduce overall system airflow.

Installing the U-GO 250mm Carbon Filter

In a typical filtered extraction arrangement, environmental air is drawn through the carbon filter before entering the extraction fan. The treated air then continues through the exhaust ductwork.

Fan and filter performance should be considered together. The extraction fan needs sufficient airflow and static-pressure capability to overcome resistance from the carbon filter and duct system while maintaining the required ventilation rate.

Support the carbon filter securely and independently.
Use 250mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
Match the extraction fan appropriately to the filter and required airflow.
Consider fan performance under static pressure rather than unrestricted airflow alone.
Keep duct runs as short and direct as practical.
Minimise unnecessary tight bends and diameter reductions.
Secure connections to minimise untreated air bypass.
Keep the filter's air-entry surface unobstructed.
