Product Name Flexible PVC Ventilation Duct for Pig Farms
Product Image Flexible PVC Ventilation Duct for Pig House Ventilation Systems
Product Overview The Flexible PVC Ventilation Duct is designed for fan-assisted air supply, exhaust, and temporary or permanent air-transfer connections in pig houses, livestock buildings, agricultural workshops, and farm ventilation systems.

The duct body is manufactured from thickened three-layer PVC reinforced mesh fabric. This flexible composite structure combines low weight with mechanical reinforcement and provides good sealing, waterproof performance, resistance to common farm chemicals, and practical durability in livestock environments.

A heavy spiral wire frame supports the entire duct and helps maintain its circular airflow passage while allowing the hose to bend, compress, extend, and follow different installation routes. Black abrasion-resistant protective strips are wrapped around the outside of the spiral structure to reduce wear when the duct contacts floors, walls, frames, or equipment.

Available in approximately 400 mm and 500 mm diameters, the duct can be connected to compatible axial fans, centrifugal fans, air-transfer equipment, or ventilation openings. Final duct diameter and length should be selected according to required airflow, fan pressure, installation distance, and livestock-house ventilation design.

  • Compressible design reduces storage and transportation volume.
  • Black abrasion-resistant outer strip protects high-contact areas of the duct.
  • Suitable for connection with compatible ventilation fans and air-handling equipment.
  • Useful for air supply, exhaust, equipment cooling, and localized ventilation.
  • Can be customized according to ventilation system layout and project requirements.
Working Principle The flexible ventilation duct works together with a compatible fan or air-handling system. When the fan operates, the pressure difference generated by the fan moves air through the internal passage of the duct.

In fresh-air applications, the duct transfers outside or conditioned air from the fan toward the required area of the pig house. In exhaust applications, contaminated, warm, humid, or stale air can be transferred toward an appropriate discharge point.

The internal spiral wire frame prevents the flexible fabric from collapsing excessively under normal operating conditions, while allowing the duct to curve around structural obstacles and equipment.

Correct system performance depends on matching the duct diameter, duct length, bends, fan airflow, static pressure, and outlet arrangement. Excessive duct resistance or an undersized diameter can reduce airflow and increase pressure losses.

The current product specification lists heat resistance up to approximately 120°C. Continuous operating temperature can differ from short-term temperature resistance and should be confirmed before use in high-temperature applications. Exact duct length, wire diameter, pressure rating, flame-retardant standard, connection method, and customized sizes should be confirmed before ordering.

Applications
  • Fresh-air transfer in commercial pig houses.
  • Fan-assisted ventilation in farrowing houses.
  • Ventilation of nursery pig buildings.
  • Air movement in gestation and breeding sow houses.
  • Ventilation of grower and finishing pig houses.
  • Temporary ventilation during pig house construction or renovation.
  • Connection between portable fans and livestock buildings.
  • Localized air supply to equipment or work areas.
  • Exhaust-air transfer from enclosed farm spaces.
  • Livestock equipment maintenance and emergency ventilation.
  • Agricultural warehouses and workshops.
  • Other livestock and poultry ventilation applications using compatible fan systems.
Installation & Maintenance Installation:
  • Confirm the required duct diameter according to the fan outlet and ventilation design.
  • Inspect the PVC fabric, spiral wire, protective strip, and connection ends before installation.
  • Extend the duct gradually without twisting or overstretching the flexible structure.
  • Connect the duct securely to the compatible fan outlet, inlet adapter, flange, or ventilation opening.
  • Use suitable clamps, straps, ropes, or connectors to prevent air leakage and accidental separation.
  • Support long duct runs at appropriate intervals to reduce excessive sagging.
  • Avoid unnecessary sharp bends because they increase airflow resistance.
  • Keep the duct away from sharp metal edges or moving machinery.
  • Verify that the fan airflow direction matches the intended air-supply or exhaust application.
  • Run the fan and inspect the entire duct for collapse, excessive movement, leakage, or abnormal vibration.
Maintenance:
  • Inspect the duct periodically for tears, punctures, abrasion, loose wire, and damaged seams.
  • Check connection clamps and suspension supports regularly.
  • Remove accumulated dust and debris when required to maintain airflow.
  • Clean the duct using methods compatible with PVC reinforced fabric.
  • Avoid aggressive solvents that may damage the PVC coating or reinforcement.
  • Repair or replace severely damaged sections before continued operation.
  • Do not operate the duct where exposed wire could contact animals, personnel, or electrical equipment.
  • Compress and store the duct in a dry area when it is not in use.
  • Keep stored ducting away from sharp objects and unnecessary direct sunlight.
Product FAQ

Q: What is this ventilation duct mainly used for?
A: It is designed to transfer supply or exhaust air between a compatible fan and the required area of a pig house, livestock building, workshop, or agricultural facility.

Q: What material is the duct made from?
A: The listed material is thickened three-layer reinforced PVC mesh fabric.

Q: What diameters are available?
A: The current specification lists approximately 400 mm and 500 mm diameters.

Q: What is the listed material thickness?
A: The listed PVC reinforced fabric thickness is approximately 0.38 mm.

Q: Why does the duct contain spiral wire?
A: The spiral wire supports the flexible duct wall, helps maintain the airflow passage, and allows the hose to bend and extend without relying on a rigid pipe structure.

Q: What is the black strip around the outside of the duct?
A: It is an abrasion-resistant protective strip positioned around the spiral structure to help protect the duct from wear during handling and installation.

Q: Is the duct waterproof?
A: Yes. Waterproof performance is listed as one of the product characteristics.

Q: Is the material flame retardant?
A: The current product specification lists the duct as flame retardant. Specific fire-performance certification should be confirmed if a project requires a particular international standard.

Q: Can the duct resist farm chemicals?
A: The product is listed as resistant to acids and alkalis, but compatibility with concentrated disinfectants or specific chemicals should be confirmed before prolonged exposure.

Q: Can the duct operate continuously at 120°C?
A: The product information lists heat resistance up to approximately 120°C, but this should not automatically be interpreted as the recommended continuous operating temperature. Continuous high-temperature use should be confirmed before ordering.

Q: Can the duct be compressed for storage?
A: Yes. Its flexible spiral structure allows the duct to be compressed, reducing storage and transportation space.

Q: How should the correct duct diameter be selected?
A: Diameter should be selected according to fan airflow, static pressure, duct length, number of bends, connection size, and required air velocity. A ventilation engineer should verify the design for larger commercial projects.

Q: Is this the same as a perforated air-distribution tube?
A: No. This product is primarily a flexible air-transfer duct. A perforated positive-pressure distribution tube uses engineered outlet holes to distribute air along the building and is a different ventilation product.

Q: Where is this flexible duct typically used?
A: It is suitable for pig houses, livestock buildings, agricultural workshops, temporary ventilation projects, equipment maintenance areas, warehouses, and compatible fan-assisted ventilation systems.
