Large bore heat shrink sleeving
Hi Chaps
I was investigating our kitchen extractor fan the other day and there is a gap between the 4" circular ducting plastic and the top of the extractor fan unit of about 4 ins (approx 100mm) which at present is taped up using gaffer tape. This isn't much use at keeping grease out of the cupboard over a long period (a couple of years in this case) I'm guessing that during the initial fit the 90 deg angle rectangular to round plastic fitting wouldn't fit into the cupboard from the top which is why it has been cut off short. My question is is there something like heat shrink sleeving at 4 or 5 in diameter which could be used to successfully join the two bits of ducting from the top of the extractor to the plastic ducting leading outside rather than just gaffer tape which doesn't stick very well due to everything being a bit greasy. Any ideas where I might source this from? Flexible plastic or rubber hose making a tight fit might also be acceptable. dedics |
