Hi,
Our Elysian 27 (c.1963) has flexible heating ducting installed - don't know
the history. I'm thinking of installing an Eberspacher unit, but given the
vintage, I wonder if anyone knows the materials which might have been used
for the ducting, and whether it may be asbestos based - its a sort of
cardboardy colour.
Thanks for any info,
Bramblestick |

I installed a number of hot air type heaters on the hire fleet around that
time and the ducts were very similar to car heater ducts that were in use.
All of them were cardboard with either a middle metalic layer (crimped) or
a metal spring. WE also had all metal ones, but that is not what you
describe. The cardboard ones usually were black on the outside and cardboard
colour on the inside.

Truma use the same kind of stuff today, fawn in colour. Maybe the
ducting was put in fairly recently? Either way I doubt very much if it
was asbestos based. >> Stay informed about: Hot air heating ducting - Asbestos? |

Many thanks for the replies. The ducting is certainly fawn coloured. I
intend taking a closer look to see if there are any id marks. Probably a bit
paranoid, but the stuff seems to have been used in all kinds of applications
during the 60s & the idea of blowing fibres around seems to warrent some
thought.
Cheers,
