Heating ducts
BenB - 19/3/07 at 09:01 AM

Does anyone know of a good (ie cheap) source on the net for the demisting ducts, vents and plenum type things (ie the bit that goes under the vent and has a hose attachment)...
I know CBS do the stuff but it seems rather expensive for vacuum formed bits of plastic.... Any other sources???
I could just go scrappy surfing but the nearest scrapper is about 10 miles away whereas I'm sat next to my computer all day
Thanks in advance.

I haven't found them on the net. but I have found them at my local hardware store, in the shop-vac section! Replacement hoses, tubes, and pieces that look suspisciously like demist vents are for sale cheap...and all the pieces fit together. That's what I'm doing....

the local tip or look in skips; near to me is a skip with vacuum cleaner - which I'd ripped the tube off .....

Aircon specialists do the alluminium stuff which is a bit more resilient than the plastic variety. Offcuts should be cheap if talk to the right guy
