Phonic Trap Ducting 6 Metre Box

Phonic Trap Acoustic Ducting – 6 Metre Box

Phonic Trap Ducting is a premium quality, ultra-quiet acoustic ventilation ducting manufactured in France. Designed to reduce noise from extraction fans and ventilation systems, it combines effective sound absorption with a strong, flexible construction that helps maintain airflow through bends.

Unlike conventional acoustic ducting that uses fibreglass insulation, Phonic Trap features a fibreglass-free construction, making it a popular choice for indoor ventilation installations where noise reduction and material quality are important.

One of its main advantages is its unique, semi-rigid structure. This helps the ducting retain its shape even when curved through 180 degrees, reducing the risk of the duct collapsing or becoming restricted. As a result, airflow can be maintained more effectively around bends compared with some conventional flexible ducting.

Supplied in a 6 metre box, Phonic Trap is available in diameters from 4" to 12" (100mm to 315mm), making it suitable for a wide range of extraction and ventilation systems.

How to Fit Phonic Trap Ducting

Phonic Trap connects to correctly sized male spigots on extraction fans, carbon filters and ventilation fittings. As an insulated acoustic ducting product, care should be taken to secure the airflow-carrying inner duct correctly.

1. Measure and cut: Measure the required ducting run and cut to length using suitable tools. Allow enough material at each end for a secure connection.
2. Prepare the connection: Carefully pull back the outer covering and acoustic insulation, where the construction allows, to expose the inner duct.
3. Fit over the spigot: Slide the inner duct over the correctly sized male spigot of your extraction fan, carbon filter or duct fitting.
4. Secure the connection: Fasten the inner duct using a suitable Jubilee clip, fast clamp or duct tape, ensuring the joint is secure and properly sealed.
5. Replace the outer covering: Reposition the insulation and outer jacket over the connection, where applicable, and seal the outer covering using suitable duct tape.
6. Position the ducting: Extend the ducting along its intended route, avoiding unnecessary bends, sharp restrictions or excessive compression.

Joining Two Lengths of Phonic Trap Ducting

If you need to join two lengths of Phonic Trap, use a correctly sized male duct connector.

Fit each length securely over the connector and fasten the joints using suitable clamps or duct tape. Where the ducting has separate inner and outer layers, ensure the inner connections are properly secured before repositioning and sealing the outer covering.

Installation Advice

Although Phonic Trap is designed to resist collapsing around bends, keeping ducting runs as short and straight as practical will generally provide the best airflow.

Its reinforced construction allows it to maintain its shape through tight curves, making it particularly useful where ventilation equipment needs to be installed in confined spaces.

For longer installations, ensure the ducting is adequately supported and avoid unnecessary sagging or strain on the connections.

Choosing the Right Phonic Trap Ducting

Choose a ducting diameter that matches the spigot size of your extraction fan, carbon filter or ventilation fitting. Using the correct diameter helps maintain airflow and ensures a secure connection.

Phonic Trap is particularly suitable for installations where reducing ventilation noise and maintaining airflow around bends are important. Its reinforced construction makes it a useful alternative to conventional acoustic ducting, especially where space is limited.

For further noise reduction, Phonic Trap can also be used alongside a suitable duct silencer as part of a correctly designed ventilation system.
