Inline axial fan designed for air intake or extraction through round ducts. Inline installation, directly in the duct, makes it a practical solution for small air-exchange systems in indoor environments and growboxes.
Key features
- Device type: Inline axial extractor fan
- Duct diameter: Ø100 mm
- Application: Air intake or extraction through round ducting
- Installation: Inline mounting on ducting systems
- Typical use: Support for air exchange in small environments
Overview
What it is for
It supports air exchange when installed in ducting: it can be configured to extract air from the environment or introduce fresh replacement air, depending on the installation direction and the system design.
Who it is for
- Indoor growers with Ø100 mm ducting
- Growboxes and small rooms requiring intake or extraction through ducts
- Basic setups that require a compact inline component
What makes it different
- Inline format suitable for Ø100 mm round ducts
- Simple installation on ducting
- Flexible use for intake or extraction
How to use
Installation
- Check duct compatibility with Ø100 mm diameter.
- Install the unit inline in the ducting section, observing the airflow direction indicated by the manufacturer.
- Secure the extractor fan firmly (for example with suitable clamps or brackets), avoiding tension on cables.
- Connect the power supply according to regulations and the manual instructions.
Tip: place extraction where warm/humid air tends to accumulate and design an air path consistent with the growbox air inlets.
Adjustment
- On/off management via timer or external control, if included in your system.
- For any airflow adjustment, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and verify control compatibility with the model in use.
Maintenance
- Periodically clean dust and debris from grilles and fan.
- Check that the ducting is not crushed or obstructed.
- Periodically check the electrical connections according to the manual.
Warnings
- Do not obstruct the air inlet or outlet.
- Install in environmental conditions compatible with the manufacturer’s specifications.
- Follow the manual instructions for electrical connections and safety.

VENTS offers solutions for ducted ventilation. The VKO/VKO1 line is designed for applications on round ducting, with inline installation and use for intake or extraction depending on the system configuration.
FAQ & usage tips
When is it better to use Ø100 mm instead of Ø125 mm?
It depends on the diameter of the ducting already present and on the system configuration. It is good practice to avoid unnecessary adapters and reduce restrictions in the ducts.
Can I automate ventilation?
Yes: typically this is done with timers or external control systems, while respecting the manufacturer’s instructions for the specific model.
Does it require frequent maintenance?
The need depends on the environment. In dusty conditions, periodic cleaning of grilles and fan helps maintain correct airflow.
