Description
This premium flexible PVC ducting hose is designed for the efficient extraction and conveyance of fumes, vapours and light dust in demanding industrial and commercial environments. The clear, smooth-bore PVC tube incorporates a robust steel helix reinforcement, providing an excellent balance of flexibility, crush resistance and durability while allowing easy visual inspection of the media being conveyed.
Available in a wide range of inside diameters, including common sizes such as 40 mm, 51 mm, 60 mm, 63 mm and 70 mm (plus many additional options), this hose is supplied in convenient 10 metre coils for straightforward installation and replacement. It is ideal for fume cupboards, local exhaust ventilation systems, machinery extraction points and general-purpose ventilation where a lightweight yet resilient ducting solution is required.
Product Features
- Flexible PVC ducting hose with smooth internal bore for efficient airflow and reduced pressure loss.
- Integrated steel helix reinforcement for enhanced crush resistance and improved structural integrity.
- Offered in a broad selection of inside diameters from 40 mm, 51 mm, 60 mm, 63 mm, 70 mm and many additional sizes to suit most extraction systems.
- Supplied in standard 10 metre coils to simplify transport, handling and on-site installation.
- Transparent wall allows quick visual inspection of flow and any potential blockages.
- Lightweight construction for easy routing around equipment and through confined spaces.
- Suitable for fume and vapour suction, light dust extraction and general air transfer applications.
Key Features and Benefits
- Reliable performance under suction: The steel helix reinforcement helps the hose maintain its shape under negative pressure, reducing the risk of kinking or collapse in extraction systems.
- Easy to install and position: High flexibility and low weight make it simple to cut to length, route around obstacles and connect to standard ducting fittings or extraction hoods.
- Improved safety and maintenance: The clear PVC wall allows operators to quickly identify blockages, residue build-up or condensate, supporting safer and more efficient system maintenance.
- Versatile across multiple processes: Suitable for a variety of non-corrosive fumes, vapours and airborne particles, making it ideal for workshops, laboratories and light industrial production areas.
- Cost-effective ducting solution: Durable yet economical construction offers a long service life in correctly specified applications, helping to reduce downtime and replacement costs.
- Neat and professional installations: Consistent 10 metre coil lengths and a wide diameter range support tidy, well-planned runs of ducting in both new and retrofit systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this PVC ducting hose be used for high-temperature fumes?
This hose is intended for general fume and vapour suction within the temperature limits of flexible PVC. It is not suitable for very high-temperature gases or flue gases. Always check the process temperature and ensure it falls within the recommended temperature range for PVC ducting before use.
Is the hose suitable for use with aggressive chemicals or solvents?
The hose is designed for non-corrosive fumes and vapours typically encountered in light industrial and workshop environments. Compatibility with aggressive chemicals or strong solvents depends on concentration and temperature, so chemical resistance data should be consulted for your specific media before use.
How do I choose the correct inside diameter for my extraction system?
Select the inside diameter to match the connection size on your equipment, hoods or ductwork, while also considering the required airflow and pressure drop. Common sizes such as 40 mm, 51 mm, 60 mm, 63 mm and 70 mm suit many standard fittings. If in doubt, refer to your system design data or seek guidance from a ventilation engineer.
