Kair 100mm Round Soil Vent Condensation Trap with Overflow For extractor fans and cooker hoods

When a ventilation duct is installed in an unheated area such as a cold loft space condensation can form on the inside of the duct; This moisture can run down the duct and create a potential hazard such as dripping onto the electrical connections of a fan or cooker hood This 100mm Condensation Trap is designed for use with Rigid 100mm Round Ducting; Its designed to be used where ducting runs through unheated areas; such as roof voids; Its not suitable for use with flexible ducting The condensation trap should be installed as low as possible; whilst still high enough to maintain a fall on the overflow-pipe A condensation trap can be used to prevent this problem occurring; The trap is simply connected to the system as part of the vertical duct run and an internal gutter within the trap collects the moisture and then drains it out through a standard overflow-pipe to the outside; This ensures that the moisture cannot enter a potentially hazardous area; The condensation trap should be installed as low as possible whilst still high enough to maintain a fall on the overflow-pipe Alternatively insulated flexible ducting or insulated rigid ducting may be used but it can be more awkward and time consuming to install; However it is ideal if a condensation trap cannot be connected to the duct for installation reasons or the overflow-pipe cannot drain to the outside due to lack of access or the distance involved
