CADPXS 12″ PVC Duct Hose for Shield HEPA 550 – 16.4 ft Semi‑Rigid

Description

Product Overview

The CADPXS 12″ PVC duct hose is a purpose‑built solution for the Shield HEPA 550 air scrubber inlet, delivering a reliable conduit for high‑efficiency particulate air filtration systems. Constructed from durable PVC material, the hose incorporates a spring‑steel wire helix that provides semi‑rigid support while preserving flexibility for easy routing around equipment and structures. With a total length of 16.4 feet (approximately 5 meters) and an internal diameter of 12 inches, the hose offers ample airflow capacity for demanding industrial environments. The product dimensions of 196.8 x 12 x 196.8 inches when fully extended allow it to span large workspaces, yet the built‑in spring mechanism enables the hose to retract into a compact coil for storage, reducing floor space requirements. Weighing just 7.39 pounds, the hose is lightweight enough for a single technician to handle, yet robust enough to withstand the pressures and temperatures typical of air‑scrubbing applications. The hose is compatible exclusively with CADPXS Shield HEPA 550 air scrubbers, ensuring a precise fit that eliminates leaks and maintains the integrity of the filtration process.

Usage

This duct hose excels in a variety of industrial and scientific settings where clean air management is critical. It is ideal for use in manufacturing plants, laboratories, hospitals, and construction sites that rely on HEPA‑rated air scrubbers to remove dust, fumes, and airborne contaminants. The semi‑rigid construction prevents the hose from collapsing under suction, which is essential when the scrubber operates at high flow rates. Because the hose can be easily retracted, it is well suited for temporary installations, routine maintenance, and rapid redeployment across multiple work zones. Technicians can quickly connect the hose to the inlet of the Shield HEPA 550 unit, secure it with the provided clamps, and begin operation without the need for additional support brackets. The hose’s flexibility allows it to navigate around obstacles such as machinery, piping, and structural beams, making it a versatile choice for both fixed and mobile air‑cleaning setups.

FAQ

What size duct hose do I need for my Shield HEPA 550 air scrubber?

The Shield HEPA 550 model requires a 12‑inch diameter duct hose. The CADPXS 12″ PVC Flexible Duct Hose is specifically sized to match this inlet, providing a seamless, airtight connection.

Can the hose be used with other HEPA scrubbers?

While the hose is engineered for the CADPXS Shield HEPA 550, it may physically connect to other units with a 12‑inch inlet. However, we recommend using it with the intended model to ensure optimal airflow and maintain the warranty coverage.

How does the retractable feature work?

The hose contains an internal spring‑steel wire helix that stores energy when the hose is coiled. When you release the hose, the spring gently pulls the tubing back into a compact coil, reducing the length to a manageable size for storage.

Is the hose resistant to chemicals commonly found in industrial environments?

The PVC material is resistant to many typical industrial chemicals, including solvents, oils, and mild acids. For highly aggressive chemicals, verify compatibility with the specific substance before use.

What warranty does CADPXS provide for this duct hose?

CADPXS offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. If the hose fails due to a defect within this period, we will replace or repair it at no cost to the customer.
