100mm x 60mm 90° Vertical Ducting Connector Elbow

The Luxair 100mm x 60mm flat ducting 90° vertical elbow connector

...joins two lengths of 100mm x 60mm flat rectangular ducting at a right angle in the vertical plane — turning the duct run upward or downward at 90° where it needs to change height, drop into a cabinet void, rise through a ceiling, or transition between different levels within a wall or ceiling structure. Self-sealing push fit.

Vertical vs Horizontal — Choosing the Right Elbow

This is the most important distinction in the flat ducting range and the most common source of wrong purchases. A vertical elbow changes the height of the duct run — it turns the duct upward or downward. A horizontal elbow keeps the duct at the same height and turns it left or right. If your ducting run travels along the top of kitchen cabinets and needs to drop down into a cabinet void at the end, or rise up through a ceiling at the end of the run, this vertical elbow is the correct fitting. If the run needs to turn a corner left or right at the same height — along the cabinet top or ceiling line — use the 100mm x 60mm 90° Horizontal Elbow instead. Getting this right before ordering saves a return trip.

Where This Fitting Is Used in a Typical Installation

The vertical elbow appears most commonly in two places in a kitchen ducting run. First, at the start of the run — where a flat duct coming horizontally out of a round-to-flat adaptor needs to turn downward to route inside a wall cavity or upward to exit through the ceiling above the cabinets. Second, at the end of the run — where a flat duct travelling along the top of cabinets needs to turn downward to exit through the wall at a lower height, or upward to enter a ceiling void before connecting to an external wall vent. In both cases the vertical elbow makes the direction change cleanly in a single rigid fitting.

Self-Sealing Push Fit — No Tape at Rigid Joints

Both ends are push fit and self-sealing against 100mm x 60mm flat ducting pipe and matching fittings — no sealant, or fixings needed at any rigid-to-rigid connection. The smooth interior bore through the bend minimises turbulence, maintaining extraction efficiency through the direction change.

Is 100mm x 60mm the Right Size for Your Hood?

100mm x 60mm flat ducting is the equivalent airflow cross-section to 100mm round ducting and is correct for cooker hood motors rated below 450 m³/hr. For higher-rated motors use larger ducting throughout:

• Below 450 m³/hr → 100mm round or 100mm x 60mm flat ducting
• 450–750 m³/hr → 125mm or 150mm round, or 220mm x 90mm flat channel
• 750–2000 m³/hr → 150mm or 200mm round ducting
