Quiet-Vent Basic Semi Rigid Ducting Kit

Nuaire MRXBOXAB-ECO3 using Quiet-Vent Semi Rigid Radial Ducting Kits

A Heat Recovery Ventilation System is Only as Good as the Ducting Used

Following years of experience in heat recovery systems, BPC Ventilation are now able to provide a range of high-quality kits that will provide a quiet and efficient system exceeding building control regulations and are suitable for any competent person to successfully install.

Our Quiet-Vent Radial Semi Rigid Ducting Kits combine the performance benefits of rigid duct and the installation benefits of flexible duct. They work by treating each room individually with a dedicated 75mm duct run from two distribution boxes (manifolds), for supply and extract air at the heat recovery unit.

Quiet-Vent Semi Rigid Ducting Kits are the perfect choice for installing a MVHR Heat Recovery System as they provide huge performance benefits whilst dramatically reducing installation time

Order online and purchase our Basic Kit or call our sales and technical teams on 028 2827 5150 / +353 1526 7452 to upgrade to our Standard or Premium Radial Ducting Kit.

Installation and Commissioning

All systems on completion of the installation require commissioning to insure it is working as intended, BPC have a network of commissioning engineers or we can supply you with a DIY air meter including a commissioning guide.

The systems have been painstakingly designed to be suitable for any competent person to install but we also have a large network of installers if required throughout the UK and Ireland if required.

How Does a Radial System Work?

Radial ducting is the latest innovation on ventilation systems and can provide a quieter and more efficient ventilation system compared to solid rigid ductwork.

All our radial ducting options are a system of individual smooth bore pipes which are crushproof, semi flexible with zero air loss. Our Standard and Premium ducting have an anti-static and antibacterial lining which individually connects each room to a distribution box (manifold).

The distribution box takes mass airflow directly from the MVHR Heat Recovery Unit and allows lower rates to pass through to each individual room run eliminating noise transfer and increasing the efficiency of the heat recovery unit.

The radial ducting is designed to be installed below the loft insulation to provide a superior heat retention over pre-insulated solid rigid above the loft insulation.

Radial semi rigid ducting is suitable for any type of property; including timber framed houses, passive house approval homes and can be used in areas with limited access.

Our premium radial semi rigid ducting is available in both circular (75mm or 90mm) and oval (51mmx114mm) fittings.

Alternative Duct Options

As well as our Basic, Standard & Premium ducting options, we can stock and supply Solid Rigid PVC, Galvanised Steel and Thermal EPP (foam) ducting if preferred.

1. Position Nuaire WH1 unit proverbially on a wall or vertical timber frame with provided wall bracket
2. Install wiring for controllers (see top of page for further details)
3. Install condensation drain from unit to internal or external drain
4. Install wall /Soffit vents or roof vents (Minimum 1.5 meter apart) Pipes are 150mm diameter
5. Position distribution boxes in the chosen location (proverbially in a central location minimising duct lengths )
6. Install silencer (if specified) to air supply distribution box
7. Install solid rigid duct-work and between distribution boxes and MVHR unit, (If possible allow for insulated flexible duct-work for final connections of MVHR unit )
8. Install radial pipe into the distribution box ,
9. Cut to length and install pipe into ceiling plenum, (insure you install rubber seal onto pipe) secure pipe in place with fixing band or pipe clips

Warning! There can be either one or two pipes going from the distribution box to the plenum depending on the required airflow , Always check plan that will indicate 1 or 2 pipes Install insulated rigid or insulated flexible duct-work to external vents Seal all open pipes to prevent debris and moisture ingress

Nuaire WH1 2nd fix

1. Trim ceiling Plenums to height of plasterboard (Easier to do before plastering ceilings)
2. Install air valves to plenums (slightly open valve by two turns)
3. Install all controllers
4. Check that condensation drain has been fitted
5. Switch unit on and follow the set up procedures
6. Check air flow rates and commission system

Initial Design -

Pre designed plan - Please follow the plan ensuring the correct number of pipes to each area - Please note the plan is only a guide and you may have to reroute pipe work differently and reposition valves to suit layout of rooms

No Plan - If a design is not possible due to renovation, Retrofit or properties with multiple obstacles simply follow the listed recommendations

We would recommend that you

• Install 2 x pipes from the distribution box to the room air plenum if air flow requirement exceed 10 L/s or if length over 15 meters  
• Install 2 x pipes from the distribution box to the air extract plenum in the main shower rooms and Kitchen
• All other areas only require a single pipe from the distribution box to the room air plenum
• Radial duct-work is suitable to be fitted below your loft insulation providing superior heat retention Insulate any duct-work or Manifold/ Distribution boxes with a minimum of 25mm thermal duct wrap that go above insulation in unheated attic spaces
• Slim-line manifolds are suitable for installation to concrete ceilings and only require a 100mm service void
• Position supply plenums approx. 500mm from corner of wall (avoid areas above beds and wardrobes)
• Position extraction plenums to outside of showers and above kitchen sink (not cooker)
• Only extract from a room with a open appliance (stove) if there is a supply with equal or higher airflow
