The PVC Flexduct General Purpose Blue is a versatile ducting hose designed for those who need ultra-flexible duct work at an affordable price. This flexduct is made from a translucent blue PVC material, providing a solid hose which has a high range of flexibility. While the PVC material is sturdy and allows the hose to keep its shape, it also has a steel wire helix winding through the body to add an extra level of reinforcement. One of the key characteristics of the PVC Flexduct General Purpose is its high bend radius. It is designed to twist and contort into tight spaces to provide effective air movement, even in small or unusual settings. These all-purpose hoses thrive in light to medium duty air, dust and fume movement applications. The General Purpose Flexduct can meet your ducting needs, even if it is exposed to moisture and chemicals. Its PVC body lends a moderate level of resistance to these substances, allowing the hose to provide effective air and dust transfer, even when it comes into contact with them. This flexible hose can also operate comfortably in temperatures of 20 degrees to 160 degrees Fahrenheit, and is highly compressible. It comes in standard lengths of 12 feet and 25 feet when fully stretched, but can be compressed down to a fraction of that size. This not only makes the hose versatile when in use, but also makes it extremely easy to transport and store. Many people might think the translucent blue PVC material used is simply an aesthetic choice, but it is actually one of the main features of this ducting product. The bright blue coloring makes the hose highly visible, while having clear hose walls allows you to quickly and easily identify and remove blockages, making sure that minor issues do not derail your project. These hoses can be used in applications including air conditioning, ventilation, fume handling and even pharmaceutical work, along with many more. They come in a range of inner diameter sizes to suit a large number of requirements, starting at a 1" inner diameter size and ranging up to 12". Better yet, the PVC General Purpose Flexduct is designed to provide a low-cost ducting solution, costing 30-40% less than many other ducting products.
