To ensure optimal performance and safety, your ventilation duct must meet specific criteria when used with the VETUS VENT178B2 Extractor Fan. Here are the key specifications to consider:

• Internal Diameter: The duct needs an internal diameter of 178 mm (7 inches), precisely matching the extractor fan's requirements.
• Material: The ducting should feature a smooth interior surface and be able to withstand temperatures up to 70 degrees Celsius (158 degrees Fahrenheit).
• Resistance: It must be resistant to oil, water, and fuel, given the typical engine room environment.
• Pressure Tolerance: The duct should be designed to handle both under-pressure and over-pressure conditions to maintain efficient airflow.
• Installation: For the best results, keep the ventilation duct as short as possible. Minimize bends and use broad bend radii to optimize airflow. Securely attach the duct using stainless steel clamps to avoid any slippage. Following these guidelines guarantees that your ventilation system works effectively with the VETUS VENT178B2 Extractor Fan, providing reliable ventilation in your engine room.
