Semi-rigid duct sits between flexible foil and solid pipe. It bends by hand around corners and holds the shape you give it, and it's far less prone to sagging and crushing than thin foil duct. A 125mm duct suits rangehoods, exhaust fans and other vented appliances with a 125mm outlet, so measure your spigot before you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy semi-rigid duct suits a 125mm rangehood run\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rangehood or exhaust fan can only move air as well as its ducting lets it. Flimsy foil duct sags between supports, kinks at bends and collects grease in its folds, all of which cut airflow and make the fan louder. Aluminium semi-rigid duct keeps a more even bore through bends, so more of the fan's effort goes into clearing steam, smoke and cooking smells. Signs your current ducting is letting you down include a noisy hood that doesn't clear the air, condensation dripping back down, and a duct that's torn, crushed or loose at a joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeflecto semi-rigid aluminium duct\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e125mm diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3m length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBends by hand and holds its shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuits 125mm rangehood, exhaust fan and venting outlets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDiameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e125mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSemi-rigid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstalling the duct\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIsolate power to the rangehood or fan before working near it. Measure the run and keep it as short and straight as you can, using gentle bends rather than tight ones. Slide each end over its spigot, secure it with a duct clamp and seal the joints with aluminium foil tape. Support long runs so they can't sag, and make sure the duct vents outside rather than into the roof space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this duct for a clothes dryer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt can work for a dryer with a 125mm outlet, provided the run is kept short and vents outside.
