What Is Webasto and Eberspacher Heater Ducting?
Heater ducting is a flexible air hose used to move warm air from a diesel air heater outlet to the cabin, sleeping area, RV interior, marine cabin, truck sleeper or equipment compartment. It is installed on the warm air outlet side of the heater. It is different from the combustion air intake hose and different from the exhaust pipe.
When buyers search for Webasto heater ducting or Eberspacher heater ducting, they often mean a compatible warm air hose that matches the outlet diameter and installation layout of their heater system. The ducting may be made with APK structure, PAP structure, aluminum foil structure or other composite materials depending on the project.
BSTFLEX focuses on ducting supply and custom manufacturing. The final product selection should always be based on measured inside diameter, heater outlet size, vent connection, reducer, Y branch and actual routing condition.
Why Heater Ducting Size Matters
Warm air ducting size directly affects airflow and installation. If the ducting is too small, warm air delivery may be restricted. If the ducting is too large, the hose may not connect correctly to the heater outlet, air vent or reducer. Correct diameter selection helps reduce air leakage and makes installation cleaner.
Before Ordering Heater Ducting, Confirm:
- The heater outlet diameter or original ducting inside diameter.
- The air outlet grille, reducer, adaptor or Y branch size.
- The total routing length from heater outlet to air outlet.
- The available space behind panels, under seats or inside cabinets.
- Whether the ducting surface will be visible or hidden.
- Whether bulk roll, cut-to-length pieces or OEM packaging is needed.

Common Heater Ducting Sizes
The following table gives a practical reference for common warm air ducting sizes. Actual selection should be confirmed by the heater outlet and connected accessories.
| Ducting Size | Common Search Terms | Typical Use | Selection Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50mm | 50mm heater ducting, 50mm diesel heater ducting | Compact heater systems and limited-space installations | Confirm airflow needs carefully because smaller ducting is more sensitive to restriction. |
| 60mm | 60mm Webasto heater ducting, 60mm Eberspacher ducting, 60mm APK ducting | Compact diesel heater systems, camper vans, RVs and small boat cabins | A common size for aftermarket parking heater and diesel air heater installations. |
| 75mm | 75mm heater ducting, 75mm APK warm air ducting, 75mm Webasto ducting | Medium warm air systems, trucks, RVs, vans and marine cabins | Often selected when more warm air volume or larger outlet vents are required. |
| 80mm | 80mm heater duct hose, 80mm warm air ducting, 80mm APK ducting | Medium to large cabin heating and auxiliary heater systems | Check available routing space before selecting this size. |
| 90mm | 90mm diesel heater ducting, 90mm APK ducting, 90mm warm air duct hose | Large RV, truck, marine and high airflow warm air systems | Larger ducting needs proper bend planning and compatible connectors. |
| 100mm | 100mm heater ducting, 100mm warm air ducting, 100mm APK ducting | High airflow systems, OEM heater layouts and industrial warm air transfer | Confirm reducers, outlets, clamps and branch connectors before production. |
Webasto Heater Ducting Compatibility
Webasto heater ducting searches usually come from installers or buyers looking for warm air hose that fits a Webasto-type diesel air heater outlet. The ducting may be used in Air Top style heater layouts, marine heater systems, van conversions, RV installations and commercial vehicle heating projects.
The important point is to confirm the actual outlet size instead of assuming the size from the brand name. Different heater models, installation kits, outlets and reducers may use different ducting diameters. For purchasing accuracy, measure the original hose ID or heater outlet connection before placing an order.
- Use the measured inside diameter as the primary specification.
- Confirm whether the ducting connects directly to the heater outlet or through an adaptor.
- Check whether the warm air outlet grille uses the same size as the heater outlet.
- For marine or RV installations, check routing length and bend radius before cutting.
- Use APK warm air ducting when a cleaner outer surface is required.
Eberspacher and Espar Heater Ducting Compatibility
Eberspacher heater ducting and Espar heater ducting searches usually relate to Airtronic-type diesel air heater systems, truck sleeper heaters, RV heating and marine heater installations. Buyers may search for Eberspacher air duct hose, Eberspacher warm air ducting, Espar heater ducting or Airtronic heater ducting.
As with Webasto-type systems, the heater brand does not replace measurement. A correct ducting order should specify the inside diameter, ducting length, material structure, outer surface and packaging requirement.
| Search Term | Likely Buyer Intent | Recommended Page Content |
|---|---|---|
| Eberspacher heater ducting | Replacement or installation ducting for heater systems | Size, compatibility, cut length and OEM supply information |
| Espar heater ducting | North American buyer looking for compatible heater duct hose | Diameter confirmation, APK ducting and installation notes |
| Airtronic heater ducting | Air heater system ducting and warm air distribution parts | 60mm, 75mm, 90mm and accessory-related paragraphs |
| Eberspacher air duct hose | Flexible warm air hose for heater outlet routing | Material structure, bend route and surface options |
APK Warm Air Ducting for Webasto and Eberspacher Systems
APK warm air ducting is a strong choice for diesel heater warm air distribution because it combines light weight, flexibility and a cleaner outside surface. It is widely used in vans, RVs, trucks, caravans, boats and auxiliary heater installations where the ducting may pass through tight spaces or visible cabin areas.
For B2B buyers, APK ducting can be supplied as roll stock, cut-to-length pieces, fixed kit lengths or private label packaging. This makes it suitable for heater kit manufacturers, distributors, van conversion companies and marine heater suppliers.
| Requirement | Recommended Ducting | Reason |
