The Manrose Reducer 125mm to 100mm is a high-quality PVC ducting accessory designed to connect ducting components of two different diameters. This reducer allows for seamless airflow transition from a larger 125mm (5") duct to a smaller 100mm (4") duct, making it a versatile solution in both residential and commercial ventilation systems.
Ideal for installations where equipment or ducting sizes differ, this reducer helps maintain efficient airflow and system compatibility, ensuring smooth and quiet operation of fans, extractors, or HVAC systems.
Key Features
-
Size Adaptability
Easily reduces ducting size from 125mm (5") to 100mm (4"), making it compatible with a wide range of extractor fans, tumble dryers, and ventilation systems. -
Durable PVC Construction
Manufactured from high-quality white PVC, the reducer is lightweight, tough, and resistant to damage, moisture, and heat within normal ventilation use. -
Optimised for Airflow
Designed to reduce airflow turbulence and minimize pressure loss when transitioning between duct sizes. -
Simple Push-Fit Installation
Fits snugly into both rigid and flexible ducting using standard push-fit connections—no adhesives or clamps needed for basic installations (though sealing tape is recommended for airtight performance). -
Versatile Applications
Compatible with most standard ducting and extraction systems used in kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, and workshops.
Typical Applications
- Adapting extractor fan outlets or inlets of differing sizes
- Connecting ducting from one system type to another
- HVAC and air conditioning installations
- Use in confined spaces where 125mm ducts need to transition to 100mm
