Ducting & Accessoires
In this category you will find normal and soundproof air hoses for connecting activated Carbon Filters, Fans and the grow room or in a grow box - without the right air hose, any ambitious ventilation system project is doomed to failure.
The exhaust air naturally needs a suitable duct. The simplest way to connect the fan and the outside world is to use simple, flexible ventilation hoses made of aluminium, which can withstand hot exhaust air. A more sophisticated installation could use the sound-insulated version of the aluminium hose, which significantly reduces the noise level both indoors and outdoors. Confusingly, the usual hoses are always slightly larger in diameter than the corresponding fan connections. However, this makes sense: after all, they should also be able to be pushed over the connection pieces. Typical standardisations are e.g.:
Sound-insulated and sound-reducing exhaust air hoses
Flexible hoses are also available in a sound-insulated version. Low-noise hose is one of the easiest ways to avoid noise nuisance when growing indoors. Highly recommended if you have problems with fan noise.
As with water, the flow rate of air is decisive for noise development. If the air flow rate is high, a sound-reducing hose is required to prevent the noise from escaping to the outside. To prevent noise pollution, sound-insulated air hoses are equipped with a double structure that is separated by a textile filling - a kind of hose within a hose. Especially when using other sound-reducing components such as silencers or particularly quiet fans, you should not skimp on the ventilation hose .
Instead of simple aluminium or plastic hoses, you can also use special rock wool-insulated hoses to connect or connect fans, which reduce the noise level considerably. For small fans with a relatively low decibel level, this is sufficient or at least extremely helpful in most cases. The disadvantage, however, is that the hoses must be connected very cleanly, as the loose rock wool can otherwise pollute the room climate itself, which can lead to problems, especially in the case of certain allergies.Combi hoses
Combi air hose is very resistant and insensitive to deformation due to temperature. The plastic coating makes it even more tear-resistant and, above all, impermeable to light and fireproof. Most models consist of several layers of aluminium and polyester with a concealed wire spiral. They can be easily fitted to round and oval connection pieces.Components for an exhaust air system
We stock various connectors and transitions that are required when constructing ventilation systems, as fans, hoses and filters often do not fit together. This requires transitions and connectors. T-pieces and Y-pieces help to distribute the air flow, while extensions and reducers are used to combine components of different sizes. We stock accessories for all hose sizes, from 100mm to 315mm. To close off an air path, you also sometimes need a non-return flap. And sometimes the solution to a poorly functioning exhaust air system is simply to be found in the faulty connection of the individual components - if air escapes in unwanted places, special Teflon tape can provide a remedy, but sometimes you simply need a different connector or an additional hose clamp.
