Not sure which one to pick? Read our Best Ventilation & Ducting UK (2026) guide.
This 125mm x 5m ventilation ducting system is designed for larger spaces requiring substantial airflow. Constructed from robust, galvanised steel, it’s built to withstand the demands of external environments and deliver consistent ventilation performance. The generous 5-metre length allows you to extend runs effectively, minimising bends and maintaining optimal airflow pressure – crucial when dealing with areas prone to condensation or moisture build-up.
The ducting's dimensions are precisely calibrated for efficient air movement. A diameter of 125mm is suitable for a wide range of fans and extractor units, while the extended length provides flexibility in installation. This combination offers an adaptable solution for garages, workshops, utility rooms, or larger extensions where adequate ventilation is paramount.
Installation requires standard DIY skills and appropriate fittings (sold separately). Ensure you connect to a functioning extraction point to prevent pressure build-up. Always check local building regulations before commencing any work.

FAQ
What materials is the ducting made from?+
The ducting is manufactured from galvanised steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance and durability for outdoor use. The internal surface is powder coated to prevent dirt build-up.
How much airflow can I expect with a standard extractor fan?+
Airflow will vary depending on the fan’s specifications. Typically, a 125mm ducting system allows for an extractor fan delivering around 60-80 cubic metres per hour, but always check the fan manufacturer's recommendations.
Is this ducting suitable for use with condensing boilers?+
While technically possible, we don’t recommend using this ducting directly with a condensing boiler without appropriate airflow regulation. Condensing boilers require precise ventilation to operate safely and efficiently – consult a qualified HVAC engineer.
What tools will I need to install this?+
You'll need basic DIY tools including a tape measure, cutting pliers (for minor adjustments), screwdrivers, and potentially a pipe cutter depending on the length of connections you require. Gloves are also recommended for safety.
How do I ensure optimal airflow through the ducting?+
Avoid sharp bends in the ducting as these will restrict airflow. Maintain straight runs wherever possible and use appropriate duct fittings to minimise pressure loss – consider using flexible duct sections where necessary.
What size extractor fan is compatible with this ducting?+
This 125mm ducting can accommodate a wide range of extractor fans, from low-duty models for small rooms to higher-powered units for larger spaces. Check the fan’s specifications to ensure it matches your ventilation needs.
Can I use this ducting outside?+
Yes, the galvanised steel construction is designed for external use. However, it's recommended to protect the ducting from prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions by using appropriate weatherproof covers or sealant where necessary.
What should I do if the ducting gets blocked?+
Carefully inspect the ducting for any obstructions such as bird nests or debris. Use a flexible brush or vacuum cleaner attachment to remove blockages before reconnecting the fan. Regular maintenance is key.
Are there different colour options available?+
This product is supplied in standard galvanised steel, which has a silver-grey finish. This colour is designed for long-term durability and weather resistance. Additional coatings are not offered.
What is the maximum operating temperature of this ducting?+
The ducting can operate safely within a temperature range of -10°C to 40°C. However, extreme temperatures could affect airflow performance; consult manufacturer’s specifications for optimal operation.
