Phonic Trap Ducting 3 Metre Box

Phonic Trap Acoustic Ducting – 3 Metre Box

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

Unlike conventional acoustic ducting that contains fibreglass insulation, Phonic Trap features a fibreglass-free construction. Its unique shape-retaining design prevents the ducting from easily collapsing or becoming restricted, even when curved through 180 degrees.

This makes it particularly useful for compact ventilation installations where ducting needs to bend around equipment or fit into confined spaces without significantly restricting airflow.

Supplied in a convenient 3 metre box, Phonic Trap is available in diameters from 4" to 12" (100mm to 315mm), making it suitable for a wide range of extraction fans, carbon filters 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. To achieve a secure, airtight connection, follow these installation steps.

1. Measure and cut: Measure the length required for your ventilation setup, allowing enough material for secure connections. Cut the ducting carefully using suitable tools.
2. Prepare the connection: Where the ducting construction allows, carefully pull back the outer covering and insulation to expose the inner duct.
3. Connect to your equipment: Slide the inner duct over the correctly sized male spigot of your extraction fan, carbon filter or ventilation fitting.
4. Secure the ducting: Use a suitable Jubilee clip, fast clamp or duct tape to fasten the connection securely and help prevent air leaks.
5. Replace the outer covering: Where applicable, reposition the insulation and outer jacket over the connection and seal using suitable duct tape.
6. Position the ducting: Gently extend the ducting along its intended route, avoiding unnecessary compression, sharp restrictions or excessive stretching.

Joining Two Lengths of Phonic Trap Ducting

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

Slide each length over the connector and secure both connections using suitable clamps or duct tape. Ensure the joints are properly sealed and that any outer covering is repositioned where applicable.

Installation Advice

Phonic Trap's reinforced construction helps it retain its shape through bends of up to 180 degrees, making it useful for ventilation systems where space is limited.

However, for the best airflow, keep ducting runs as short and straight as practical. Avoid unnecessary bends, kinks and restrictions that could increase resistance within the ventilation system.

Ensure the ducting is properly supported and that connections are secure, particularly where the ducting changes direction.

Key Features & Benefits

• Effective noise reduction: Helps absorb sound travelling through ducting from extraction fans and moving air.
• Fibreglass-free construction: Provides acoustic performance without conventional fibreglass insulation.
• Shape-retaining design: Resists collapsing when curved, helping maintain an open airflow path.
• Suitable for bends up to 180 degrees: Retains its structure when routed around tight curves.
• Manufactured in France: Premium quality European-made acoustic ducting.
• Ideal for compact installations: The 3 metre length is particularly useful for shorter ventilation runs.
• Range of diameters: Available from 4" to 12" (100mm to 315mm).

Choosing the Right Phonic Trap Ducting

Select 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 provides a secure connection.

The 3 metre Phonic Trap Ducting is an excellent option for shorter extraction runs, compact grow rooms and ventilation systems where reducing noise is important but a full 6 metre box is unnecessary.

For longer installations, Phonic Trap is also available in a 6 metre box. Both lengths offer the same fibreglass-free construction and shape-retaining design.
