FAQ

What’s the impact of reducing duct size?

Stepping down increases air velocity and static pressure. That can lower overall airflow on long/complex runs and may make fans work harder. Keep the transition as short and smooth as possible and check your fan’s performance curve if airflow is critical.

How should I install the reducer correctly to ensure a tight fit?

Push-fit the reducer fully into the matching female duct/fitting until it seats. Seal joints with foil tape or duct mastic, and support adjacent ducting with clips/hangers to prevent movement.

Will using this reducer affect airflow and noise levels?

Possibly. Higher air velocity through the 100 mm section can add turbulence and noise, especially near bends. Minimising kinks, keeping runs short/straight, and using smooth-bore rigid ducting helps keep noise down.

Can I use this reducer in high-pressure systems or extractor fans?

Yes for typical domestic/commercial extractor fans and MVHR/ventilation systems. For high static pressure industrial setups, confirm suitability against your system specs; some applications may require metal components or purpose-rated fittings.

Do I need to insulate the reducer when installing it in cold spaces?

If warm, moist air passes through unheated areas, add insulation (or use insulated duct nearby) to reduce condensation risk and heat loss.

What materials is the reducer made of, and are they fire-resistant?

It’s a rigid, flame-retardant plastic reducer suitable for standard ventilation temperatures. It’s not designed for very high-temperature extraction.

What do “male” and “female” ends mean on the reducer?

“Male” ends push into duct or fittings. “Female” ends accept a male spigot. This reducer’s ends act as male spigots for 150 mm and 100 mm round plastic duct/fittings.

Can I connect straight to fan spigots, or do I need additional ducting?

If the fan spigot is female, the reducer can push straight in. If the fan spigot is male, sleeve the joint with a short piece of matching round duct or use a straight female connector for a neat, airtight fit.
