Absolutely, works great. I ran it from the 1st floor to the roof. However, you should check the local building code for any specific requirement that your municipality has.

          Can this pipe be "manipulated" over an eqivalent 4" oval vent. This would be in a bathroom venting fan installation

          Answer This Question

          Don't understand the reference to "manipulated over...". Please clarify or include a picture. I can state that the pipe is flexible and can be deformed from round cross-section to something approaching oval.

          Yes, it's very flexible and could be shaped/taped around an oval attachment easily.

              I don't understand the picture provided with the question. I purchased flexible aluminum vent tubing. It worked great.

                Not sure what to use. I hear insulated flexible to straight solid pieces. This product seems easier.

                Semi Rigid is suitable for venting bathroom exhaust fans, however, it you will be running the duct through an unconditioned space like an attic, I would strongly suggest pulling an insulated sleeve over the duct to avoid condensation forming on the duct. Alternately, insulated duct is equally as suitable to use rather than semi rigid duct.

                By|Oct 27, 2023

                  I don't know why anyone would use insulated pipe for an exhaust fan duct. That is a waste of money and added effort. This flexible duct is much easier to use. If joining two sections, it is much easier to COMPLETELY pull the stretch out of the pipe at the ends. When still compressed, it is much more difficult to get end over the coupling. Use 5-inch band connectors. 4 1/8 is a little too tight.

                        Could this be used as a heat duct for 6' run on marine furnace? No room for the bulky insulated duct.

                        I don't see why not. Heating flex duct is plastic film. This is aluminum. It is made to take the heat from a clothes dryer so is definitely made to take heat. It will sweat if used for A/C.

                        Hi Boat, no knowing the particulars of the marine heater being used, it’s difficult to provide an appropriate answer. Could you please call us to give us more details at 1 800 387 2578 ext 232.

                          I only use for Laundry Dryer. you may need to ask 'The Home Depot". Thanks, Parafino

                            Your question is outside my personal experience, however clothes dryer temperately produces air temperatures are just above 100゚, and a household furnace typically raises air temperatures 40 to 60゚ above ambient air. So I think the real issue is what is the temperature of the air coming out of your marine heater? The tubing this made out of aluminum, so it's not going to burn unless subjected to fairly high temperatures.

                            Didn't extend easily, was not durable, didn't fit 4in openings and ends ripped without any effort. Will advise to not buy.

                              If you base your decision to purchase on negative reviews, you may miss an opportunity for a good product. This is the case with the 4 in. x 8 ft. Semi-Rigid aluminum Duct. I used this product to vent my electric clothes dryer. This required a right angled bend from the dryer to the duct in the wall of the utility room. It was also necessary for me to shorten the duct to fit the available space. The duct can be stretched or compressed as needed. I was able to trim the duct to size with ordinary scissors. Yes, the walls of the duct are made of paper thin aluminum but reinforced each 1/4"? or so for strength and rigidity. If handled carefully, this duct does the job at a reasonable price.

                                Horrible Product
                                Diameter tolerance is too tight, causing a struggle to fit on wall/dryer ends without damaging duct. Directions instruct you to stretch out and then cut off what you need, if you do this you will damage the ducting. It will start unraveling, spiraling apart at less force than it takes to stretch it out. This will cause you to lose a foot or two of ducting before stopping the carnage. Also, the force required to stretch the ducting creates dents in the ducting where you are gripping it. All the struggle and force you use trying to work with this product inevitably damages it.
