The Manrose Flat Channel Ducting is a low-profile ventilation solution designed to deliver efficient airflow in areas where space is restricted. With a slim dimension of 110mm x 54mm and a 1 metre length, this ducting is ideal for applications where round ducting would be too bulky or intrusive.
This product is commonly used in kitchen extraction systems, bathroom ventilation, and utility room installations, especially when installed behind walls, above ceiling voids, or under floors. The rigid PVC construction ensures durability and longevity, making it a reliable choice for long-term use.
