Quiet-Vent Female Fitting 150mm PVC Pipe Connector

In stock
Product Code
U90181
Description

∙ These connectors are constructed of high quality durable galvanised metal

∙ Female duct metal connectors are designed to join two male duct fittings together

∙ Manufactured in the UK, made without seals

∙ Designed for use withsafe seal galvanised metal ducting but it can be used with equivalent standard metal ducting or some plastic ducting ranges

∙ Perfectly suited for ducting your ventilation system, kitchen extractor fan, bathroom fan or in-line extract fans

∙ Can be used to connect long ductwork run for a variety of purposes including whole house ventilation, passive stack vent, positive input, air conditioning, HVAC, and heat recovery systems.

Compatibility

∙ Compatible with most other lead manufacturersfor galvanised metal ducting

Performance

∙ Solid rigid ducting is suitable for use in all buildings to provide superior airflow performance vs. comparative size rectangular or flexible PVC or aluminium duct. Suitable to use in compliance with Part F Building Regulations.

Installation

∙ To provide the best performance in airtightness and durability we recommend you provide greater mechanical strength to a joint by using a combination of plastic ducting sealant and aluminium duct sealing tape

1. Apply duct sealant to the male fitting

2. Push together

3. Apply aluminium duct sealing tape over joint

4. Alternatively, you can use self-sealing fittings that speed up the time taken by up to 70% and can be easily dismantledInsulation of Ductwork

∙ It is important that any ducting located in a cold area (e.g. loft space) to be insulated. The insulation needs to be the equivalent of 25mm thick and have a thermal conductivity of 0.04W/(m.k) or less.

∙ This ensuresthat condensation doesn’t form due to the difference in air temperature inside the duct when compared to the air temperature in the cold space.

∙ If you don’t have a loft space there is still a need for insulated ducting on the intake and exhaust legs,as they will be carrying cold air in a warm space. The level of insulation can be achieved by wrapping duct in a layer of 25mm duct wrap that has a silver foil face on a 25mm rockwool

∙ It is also worth noting that foil wrap with air bubbles (bubble wrap) is no longer applicable in building control regulations
