Why this ducting earns its place
Adding a secondary extraction branch to an existing kitchen can be challenging if you don't want to disrupt the main system or cut into an installed duct. A saddle piece avoids all that: it clamps externally onto the duct and taps internally into the airflow, letting you pull off a branch line for a prep area, grill station, or later-added appliance. The main run stays continuous and pressurised, so you don't lose extraction capacity to disturbance and sealing.
The 300mm saddle suits small-to-medium kitchens or serves secondary zones in larger operations. The 45° outlet angle is practical for routing the branch away from the main run without requiring sharp bends or awkward routing around ceiling joists or other obstacles. At this size, saddle pieces are popular in refurbishments, extensions, and modular kitchen designs where you're building extraction piecemeal.
At 1 kg the saddle is easy to handle and position, yet rigid enough to hold firm through vibration and thermal cycling. The clamping system distributes load evenly across a wide contact area, so the main duct retains structural integrity. The internal junction is smoothly formed to maintain even airflow and prevent grease pooling.
