FAQs
What is the exact diameter of the hose?
The hose has a 5" (125mm) diameter connection point, designed to fit standard cooker hood and extractor outlets.
Can this hose be used for both vented and recirculating extractors?
This hose is primarily designed for vented extractor systems that expel air outside the building. For recirculating systems, you would typically use charcoal filters, and this hose would connect to the recirculation outlet.
How long is the hose when fully extended?
The hose has an operational length of 6 meters.
Does the insulation help with heat?
Yes, the aluminium foil insulation lining helps to reduce heat transfer from the extracted air, contributing to a more comfortable kitchen environment.
What material is the hose made from?
The hose features a tear-resistant PVC outer sleeve and an inner steel wire coil for rigidity, with an aluminium foil insulation lining.
How many clamp clips are included?
The kit includes two adjustable stainless steel clamp clips.
Can I cut the hose to a shorter length?
Yes, you can cut the hose to a shorter length using sharp scissors or a utility knife to better suit your specific installation requirements.
Is this hose suitable for high-temperature cooking fumes?
While the insulation helps manage heat, it is designed for standard cooking fumes. Prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures directly from the appliance without adequate airflow could affect the material over time.
Troubleshooting
Reduced airflow from extractor hood.
Check for kinks or blockages in the vent hose. Ensure the hose is not excessively long or sharp bends are not too acute. Verify that the clamp clips are not obstructing the opening.
Excessive noise despite insulation.
Confirm the hose is securely attached at both ends with the clamp clips. Check for any tears or damage in the hose material. Ensure the appliance's fan motor is functioning correctly, as the hose cannot fix internal mechanical noise.
Hose won't stay attached.
Ensure the clamp clips are the correct size and are tightened sufficiently. Check if the appliance outlet or vent opening is clean and free of debris that might prevent a secure fit.
Hose appears to be sagging or losing shape.
The inner steel wire coil should maintain shape. If sagging occurs, check for damage or excessive heat exposure. Ensure the hose is properly supported if it spans a long, unsupported distance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your cooker hood or extractor outlet is a 5" (125mm) diameter.
- Measure the required length of the hose, allowing for necessary bends but avoiding excessive slack that could sag.
- Cut the hose to the desired length using sharp scissors or a utility knife.
- Attach one end of the hose securely to the appliance outlet using one of the provided clamp clips. Tighten the clip firmly.
- Connect the other end of the hose to your external vent or recirculation system outlet, again securing it with the second clamp clip.
- Ensure all connections are airtight to maximize efficiency.
Compatibility:
- This hose is designed for 5" (125mm) diameter appliance outlets and vent openings.
- It is suitable for use with most standard cooker hoods and extractor fans.
Care:
- Periodically inspect the hose for any signs of damage, such as tears or kinks, which can impede airflow.
- Clean the exterior of the hose with a damp cloth if it becomes dirty. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Ensure the clamp clips remain tight to prevent air leaks.
- Avoid kinking or crushing the hose during installation or maintenance, as this can restrict airflow and reduce efficiency.
