150mm Round Ducting Pipe — 1 Metre
This is the standard 1 metre straight section of 150mm round rigid ducting pipe, suitable for cooker hood installations with motor speeds up to 1,200m³/hr. It is part of the Luxair System150 6" push-fit airtight ducting range.
Where the installation allows, 150mm ducting should always be the preferred choice for any extractor hood — the larger diameter reduces airflow resistance, maintains motor extraction performance across longer duct runs, and allows the hood to operate more quietly at any given extraction speed. Join lengths together using a 150mm round connector from the System150 range — push-fit airtight, no ducting tape required at any joint.
Why Rigid Round Ducting Outperforms Flexible Aluminium Pipe
Rigid round ducting is significantly more efficient than flexible aluminium pipe. Flexible aluminium tube has a corrugated interior surface that creates turbulence and resistance in the airflow, reducing extraction performance — particularly over longer duct runs. The smooth interior walls of rigid round ducting allow air to travel freely with minimal resistance, delivering consistently higher extraction rates from the same motor. For any installation where rigid ducting can be fitted, it is always the preferred choice over flexible aluminium pipe.
Ducting Size Guide
Selecting the correct ducting diameter for your motor output ensures maximum extraction performance:
- Below 450m³/hr → 100mm (4") ducting
- 450–750m³/hr → 125mm (5") or 150mm (6") ducting
- 750–2,000m³/hr → 150mm (6") or 200mm (8") ducting
The System150 6" Ducting Range
This pipe is part of the Luxair System150 range — combining 150mm round ducting and 220mm × 90mm flat rectangular ducting, both carrying equivalent airflow rates and fully interchangeable within the system via adapters. All components connect by push-fit for a patent-protected airtight seal with no ducting tape, adhesive, or clips required. The full range includes bends, elbows, connectors, adapters, and wall vents to complete any standard extraction installation.
