Flexible ducting hose is commonly used for air transport, fume removal, vacuum and light weight material handling applications. Key features of ducting hose are flexibility, compressibility and relatively light weight construction.
Things to Think About When Buying a Flexible Ducting Hose

- The inside diameter and length required. Inside diameters range from 1-1/4 inches through 60 inches. Lengths up to 50 feet are available.
- The temperature of both the material being conveyed through the hose and the environment surrounding the hose.
- Application details: specify the flexibility needed, whether the outer surface of the hose is subject to abrasion and the way the hose needs to be connected to equipment.
- The material passing through the hose.
- Whether the hose will be under pressure (pounds per square inch) or vacuum (inches Hg).
