Kanaflex 100 CL is a clear PVC corrugated suction hose designed for visual monitoring of airflow and particulates, which is a practical advantage in stables where blockages or bedding uptake must be observed quickly. Financially it sits near the lower end of the price spectrum like the Novaflex 4200, but its transparency and suction-capable construction make it uniquely useful for maintenance-heavy ventilation runs despite offering lower abrasion resistance than polyurethane and thermoplastic rubber options.

Deflecto Semi-Rigid Aluminum Duct
The Deflecto Semi-Rigid Aluminum Duct balances stiffness and flexibility with a spiral-formed aluminum construction that resists crushing better than foil options while remaining easier to route than full steel spiral pipe. Compared with Master Flow and Lambro it offers a consumer-friendly mix of price and durability, and while not as rigid or long-lived as Imperial's galvanized spiral, it delivers a cost-effective choice for stable residential ventilation.
