What is PVC Flexible Ducting?

PVC Flexible Ducting is a non-metallic ventilation duct made from polyvinyl chloride, designed to convey air, fumes or lightweight particulates between equipment and a venting point. It often comes in reinforced forms (such as wire-helix reinforced) to help keep its shape during routing, while unreinforced varieties offer maximum flexibility. This type of ducting is lightweight, corrosion resistant and cost-efficient compared with traditional metal ducts. Typical applications span general ventilation, exhaust for HVAC units, dust collection in workshops, fume extraction in laboratories, paint booths, and temporary or portable ventilation setups. When selecting PVC ducting you will see terms like “PVC flexible ducting,” “PVC ducting,” and “flexible air duct.” Key properties to consider include moisture resistance, chemical resistance, ease of installation with clamps or duct adapters, and the ability to bend around corners. It is important to note that PVC flexible ducting is generally designed for ambient or moderate-temperature air and may not be suitable for very high-temperature exhaust without checking the datasheet for temperature limits and maximum airflow.
  • Lightweight and easy to handle
  • Corrosion and chemical resistance
  • Flexible routing with smooth interior for steady airflow
  • Available in reinforced and unreinforced versions
  • Commonly used with inline fans, air handling units and dust extraction systems
For best results, always verify the product datasheet for temperature ratings, wall thickness, and bend radius to ensure compatibility with your application.

What are common applications for PVC Flexible Ducting?

PVC flexible ducting is widely used across residential, commercial and industrial ventilation and extraction tasks. Typical applications include:
  • HVAC ducting for supply and return air in rooms, offices and light commercial spaces
  • Dust collection and woodworking shop exhaust systems
  • Fume and solvent venting in laboratories, paint shops and pharmaceutical environments
  • General purpose ventilation for bathrooms, kitchens, and utility rooms
  • Agricultural ventilation in greenhouses and livestock housing
  • Temporary ducting for events, stage productions or climate control in tents
PVC ducting is also used in conjunction with portable fans and inline blowers where flexible routing and quick setup are advantageous. When choosing, consider diameter, length, reinforcement, and temperature rating to match the installation.

How do I choose the right PVC ducting size, reinforcement and length?

Selecting the correct size and configuration involves understanding airflow requirements, duct diameter, routing geometry and supported weight. Key considerations:
  • Diameter (inner/nominal): Match the outlet or equipment inlet to minimize losses; common sizes range from 4 in (100 mm) up to 12 in (300 mm) or larger for industrial dust collection.
  • Reinforcement: Unreinforced PVC ducting is more flexible and lighter, suitable for short runs and gentle bends. Reinforced PVC ducting with a wire helix offers better shape retention and is preferable for longer runs or frequent movement.
  • Length: Plan the shortest practical path; longer runs increase friction losses and may require a higher-capacity fan.
  • Wall thickness and material grade: Heavier walls provide durability and higher temperature tolerance; verify with the datasheet.
  • Temperature and chemical exposure: Ensure the selected ducting is rated for the expected air temperature and any chemicals in the stream.
Practical approach: determine the system’s target airflow (CFM or m3/h) and the maximum static pressure the fan or blower can deliver, then consult the product datasheet for the corresponding diameter, reinforcement and temperature rating. If in doubt, choose a slightly larger diameter to reduce pressure losses and improve efficiency.

Can PVC Flexible Ducting be used for high-temperature air or hazardous chemicals?

Most standard PVC flexible ducting is designed for ambient to moderate temperatures and should not be used for very hot exhaust or high-heat processes without confirming the exact temperature rating on the datasheet. For high-temperature or aggressive chemical environments, look for specialty PVC grades or alternative materials such as silicone, PTFE, or reinforced metal ducts that are explicitly rated for those conditions. Always verify:
  • Maximum continuous temperature rating (in degrees Celsius)
  • Chemical compatibility with vapors, solvents or acids present
  • Regulatory or industry standards applicable to your application
  • Recommended use cases from the manufacturer
If you are unsure, contact RS Components’ technical team to confirm the right product for high-temperature or corrosive air streams.

How should I install PVC Flexible Ducting safely and securely?

Safe installation promotes longevity and efficient airflow. Best-practice steps include:
  • Plan a smooth routing path with gentle bends; avoid kinks and sharp 90-degree turns
  • Cut straight ends with a utility knife or scissors; deburr edges to prevent damage to clamps and fittings
  • Use appropriate clamps, couplers and end fittings to secure connections and prevent leaks
  • Support long runs at regular intervals to prevent sagging or deformation
  • Avoid contact with direct sunlight for extended periods to minimize UV degradation (store or use UV-resistant variants where applicable)
  • Inspect joints for air leaks and retighten clamps after the first operation cycle
In industrial settings, ensure compliance with workplace safety guidelines and, where required, lockout/tagout procedures during installation.

What standards and certifications apply to PVC Flexible Ducting?

PVC flexible ducting products from RS Components typically reference international and regional standards to ensure compatibility and safety. Look for datasheet indicators such as:
  • CE marking and RoHS compliance for European markets
  • UL or ETL listings for specific temperature and application ratings
  • ISO and ASTM references related to material composition, fire performance and dimensional tolerances
  • Manufacturer-specific approvals for use in HVAC, dust collection or fume extraction systems
Always verify the exact certification status on the product page or datasheet, and check for any country-specific requirements relevant to your installation.

What accessories work with PVC Flexible Ducting?

To complete installations, several accessories are commonly used with PVC flexible ducting:
  • Clamps, hose clamps, and duct adapters to secure connections
  • Reducers and end caps for terminating ducts
  • Elbows and bend fits to navigate corners with minimal airflow loss
  • Flexible hose supports or hangers for longer runs
  • Sealants or duct tapes compatible with PVC for sealed joints
When selecting accessories, ensure compatibility with the duct’s diameter and reinforcement type, and follow the manufacturer’s installation guidelines.

How do I measure and order PVC Flexible Ducting from RS Components?

Ordering involves selecting the correct diameter, length and reinforcement, then confirming temperature ratings and any chemical compatibility requirements. Helpful tips:
  • Identify the duct diameter that matches your fan outlet or equipment inlet
  • Choose a length sufficient for the route with some extra for flexibility and future changes
  • Decide between reinforced and unreinforced options based on routing challenges and system pressure
  • Check the datasheet for maximum operating temperature, airflow limits and material grade
  • Review installation accessories and compatible fittings in the same product family
If you’re uncertain about the right product, RS Components’ technical support can help verify compatibility with your HVAC, dust collection, or fume extraction system.

What are the differences between PVC Flexible Ducting and other ducting options?

PVC flexible ducting offers a balance of weight, cost and flexibility that suits many ventilation tasks, especially in light to medium-duty applications. Compared with metal ducts, it is typically easier and quicker to install, and it resists corrosion. However, metal ducts may be preferred for high-temperature exhaust, high-pressure systems, or where rigid, airtight performance is required. Compared with silicone or PTFE ducting, PVC is usually more cost-effective but may have lower high-temperature tolerance and chemical resistance. Always compare:
  • Temperature ratings and chemical compatibility
  • Weight, rigidity, and bend radii
  • Durability under repetitive flexing or vibration
The right choice depends on your specific application, budget and environmental conditions.
