tanneja Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 Would anyone have any concerns for using this ducting? It seems new to BPC and would be a very decent cost saving on 6 rolls vs anything else that is anti bacterial. It doesn't specifically mention whether it is anti-static, perhaps that is where the cost reduction comes from?
dpmiller Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 I just went with their cheapest blue stuff and couldn't fault it, tbh. 1
MikeGrahamT21 Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 I've not used this specific product, but i did use two types on my install. I used Zhender Comfotube and QuietVent, both 75mm, both antibac and antistatic, and found the zhender stuff a lot nicer to work with, didn't fight with me as much during install. 1

The prices of those are quite different, around an extra £40 per roll as of now (£140 vs £180 that I can see). Was there a similar price differential when you bought? And if so, what inspired paying the extra for Zehnder? Good to know it is easier to pull, I'm sure that is worth a bit extra. Maybe the ribs are less pronounced, or the pipe is relatively stiffer / less stiff which made pulling simpler.
MikeGrahamT21 Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 I bought the comfotube first actually before I was committed to installing MVHR straight away and didn’t want to be left with loads of pipe, I needed some to use as airtight underfloor conduit for electric cables. in the end I ended up doing the mvhr install and needed another 50m and went with quiet vent thinking there couldn’t be much difference but there certainly was. I think price difference was about the same when I bought. If I was buying more pipe I’d stick with the comfotube over other products for ease of use and also a better fit into the terminals 1 1
tanneja Posted February 9, 2021 Author Posted February 9, 2021 This is very informative @MikeGrahamT21, certainly worth considering paying more it seems.
