Flexible ventilation duct airRoxy FLEX 160 — ø160 mm, flexible air ducting

Flexible ventilation duct airRoxy FLEX 160 is a Ø160 mm flexible air duct designed for residential and light commercial ventilation systems. The duct provides a flexible and compact solution for routing supply and exhaust air where rigid ducts are impractical, enabling connections to kitchen hoods, bathroom extractors, and other HVAC devices. The product is intended to simplify installation in constrained spaces while maintaining airflow for general ventilation tasks.

Advantages

airRoxy FLEX 160 combines flexibility with a smooth internal passage that minimizes airflow resistance compared with heavily corrugated alternatives. Its Ø160 mm diameter is compatible with common ventilation spigots and fittings, allowing straightforward coupling to fans and appliances. The duct’s compressible length and bendable construction make it easy to shape around obstacles and shorten on site to fit specific routing requirements.

Suitable for

• Connecting kitchen range hoods to exhaust outlets
• Bathroom extractor fan ducting
• Flexible runs between ventilation units and grilles in residential properties
• Temporary or retrofit ventilation installations in light commercial spaces

Key specifications

• Outer diameter: 160 mm nominal
• Type: flexible ventilation duct
• Typical applications: supply and exhaust air routing
• Compatibility: designed to fit standard Ø160 mm ventilation connectors and clamps
• Installation: compressible and bendable for compact routing and onsite adjustment

How to use

Select an appropriate length and route that avoids excessive sharp bends to maintain airflow efficiency. Cut the duct to the required length with a suitable cutting tool, taking care to leave enough overlap for secure connections. Attach the duct ends to appliance spigots or ventilation fittings and secure with appropriate clamps, tape, or fastening accessories designed for ventilation ducts. Verify that connections are tight and that the duct is supported along its run to prevent sagging.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid compressing the duct to its minimum length over long runs and minimize severe kinks or sharp angles. Use standard duct clamps or bands to secure connections and inspect periodically for wear or damage in areas exposed to mechanical strain or heat. Use in accordance with local ventilation codes and appliance manufacturer instructions.
