Why this ducting earns its place
When you need to branch your extraction duct—say, running a secondary hood or moving extraction to a different part of your kitchen—you need a fitting that joins cleanly without restricting airflow. The saddle fitting saddles onto the main duct and branches off at an angle, letting you extend coverage to new stations or equipment without installing a complex tee or elbow assembly.
This right-hand saddle is designed for 200 mm diameter ductwork, a standard size for medium to large kitchen extractions. At 1 kg, it's a straightforward, lightweight component that installs quickly during fit-outs or retrofits. The saddle design means minimal turbulence and pressure drop where the branch connects—important for maintaining extraction efficiency across your whole system.
Used in extraction system planning, these saddles are the practical way to expand coverage when you can't run a straight run from the main duct. They appear in phased fit-outs, in open-plan kitchens serving multiple cooking stations, and in complex layouts where ductwork needs to adapt. Proper sizing and positioning of saddle connections keeps airflow smooth and prevents dead zones where grease-laden air pools and builds up.
