Hey Guys, just wanted to get some of your opinions on duct hose options for venting our lasers. Most manufactures recommend using metal (galvanized steel or aluminum) vent piping. Which is fine, it does the job and is cheap, but in some cases adds unwanted vibration noise and the need to tape gaps to avoid losses/prevent fume escape. It's my understanding that static build up is the justification manufacturers use for not using alternate materials for vent hosing. However, there are manufacturers who make specific fume extraction flexible duct hose out of double wall fiberglass and a silicone coating that can withstand fume heat of 500F. These hoses are a bit expensive but are used in many other manufacturing applications and engineered with the specific purpose of extracting smoke and hot fumes. What are your guys opinion? Does everyone typically adhere to the manufactures recommendation in this area?
