50mm Grey Plastiflex Ducting

50 mm Grey Plastiflex Ducting is grey PVC ducting reinforced with a steel wire helix. It is the smallest bore in the Plastiflex range, used on bench tools and small capture hoods where the duct has to turn tightly right at the source.

Key features

• Nominal inside diameter 50 mm
• Grey PVC wall reinforced with a steel wire helix
• Lightweight and collapsible, so it compresses for storage and transport
• Steel helix holds the bore open under suction where a softer duct would close up
• Temperature range 0°C to +50°C

Applications

• Bench top tool extraction
• Solder and small fume capture
• Portable extractor inlets
• Router and trimmer pickup
• Laboratory fume arms

Compatibility and fitting

• Sized on inside diameter: 50 mm ducting fits a 50 mm spigot
• Clamp to spigots with a worm drive clamp or a duct clip
• For abrasive material such as sawdust and grain, polyurethane ducting lasts far longer

Will 50 mm choke a machine?

It will if the machine actually needs volume. At 50 mm you are capturing at the tool tip, not extracting a machine. For a saw or a planer, start at 100 mm.

Why a steel helix rather than PVC?

Steel holds the bore open against suction. On a long run or a strong extractor, a duct with a softer helix starts to collapse and chokes the airflow, which is the usual reason an extraction system underperforms.

Every size is listed in grey plastiflex ducting.
