Product Overview
Flexible yellow ducting, 12 inches by 25 feet (7.5 metres), supplied with a heavy duty carry bag. It fits tightly over the snout of a centrifugal air mover to direct airflow where it is needed.
What It Is For
- Positive pressure — pushing dry air into a cavity, a subfloor or a wall space
- Negative pressure — drawing air out of a contained area
- Exhausting moist air out of a mitigation job rather than recirculating it into the building
- Mould remediation and abatement containment work
Why Ducting Changes the Drying Plan
An air mover moves air across a surface. Ducting lets you decide where that air goes and where it ends up, which is what turns a set of machines into a drying strategy.
Exhausting moist air outside rather than into the next room is the difference between drying a structure and moving the moisture around inside it.

Operating Advice
- Keep runs as short and as straight as the job allows. Every bend costs airflow, and a kinked duct costs most of it.
- Secure both ends. A duct that comes off the snout mid-job is not obvious until the readings do not move.
- Exhaust moist air out of the structure, not into an adjacent room.
- Dry it before it goes back in the bag. Ducting stored damp is how a drying kit starts to smell.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will it fit my air mover?
It is made for the snout of a centrifugal air mover. Tell us the machine and we will confirm before you order.
Does it come with a bag?
Yes, a heavy duty carry bag is included.
Can I use it for negative air?
Yes, positive or negative, and for exhausting moist air out of a job.
What temperature will it take?
−4 to 176 degrees F, roughly −20 to 80 degrees C.
What We See in the Field
Ducting fails at the connection, not along its length. A run that has been taped once and reused a dozen times slips off the snout, and the first sign is a drying log that has stopped moving.
