Home improvement component, the Charnwood Reducing Cone, adapts hose diameters while keeping extraction runs simple. Handy for workshop users who switch between machines, reducing setup time and uncertainty. Is it the right fit for a busy extractor setup?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Connection Fit: Steps down or up between 100mm and 50mm hose sizes, compatible with matching flexible hoses
- • Best for: Workshops and extractor setups needing a simple diameter adaptor
- • Not ideal for: Systems that require integrated sealing solutions or bespoke fittings
Matches 100mm to 50mm hose runs for extractor-to-machine connections. Outside diameter ranges from 100mm to 50mm, inside diameter from 93mm to 45mm.
Secure hose transition - with tapered reduction from 100mm to 50mm
A stepped reduction links the larger and smaller ends, with outside diameters listed as 100mm down to 50mm and inside diameters from 93mm to 45mm. The geometry allows the larger hose to sit over the reducer before fastening.
Enables a neat join between differing hose sizes so extractor runs remain continuous and straightforward to manage.
Versatile directional use - with bi-directional reducing capability
Designed for stepping down or stepping up in hose size and for connecting a hose line to machinery with a different sized outlet. Compatibility covers both 100mm and 50mm flexible hoses.
Adapts to changing workshop layouts, allowing both larger extractors and smaller machines to be linked without bespoke fittings.
Straightforward securing - with a 100mm hose clamp recommendation
A 100mm hose clamp should be used to fasten the hose to the larger end, ensuring the hose is held against the outside diameter of the reducer. Clamping is the specified method for a secure attachment.
Makes installation predictable and reduces the chance of slippage during routine workshop use.
✨ The 4 Key Reasons for Charnwood Reducing Cone
- Compatibility - Connects 100mm and 50mm flexible hoses without extra adaptors
- Recommended placement - Suited to extractor-to-machine runs to maintain continuity of airflow
- Clamp size - Use a 100mm hose clamp to secure the larger end firmly
- Measured diameters - Outside 100mm to 50mm, inside roughly 93mm to 45mm

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the reducer join a 100mm hose to a 50mm outlet?
A: Yes, it is used for stepping down or stepping up in hose size and for connecting a hose line to machinery with a different sized outlet.
Q: Do I need a hose clamp to fit the reducer?
A: Yes, a 100mm hose clamp should be used to fasten the hose to the larger end of the reducer.
Q: Where in the extraction run should the reducer be fitted?
A: Recommendation is to run 100mm diameter hose from the extractor to the dust-producing machine, then fit the reducer at the machine end.
🏆 Our Verdict
Suitable for workshops and extractor setups that need a simple, reliable way to link different hose sizes. The clear, measured reduction from 100mm to 50mm combined with a specified 100mm clamp makes installation straightforward. Practical and low-maintenance, the part extends compatibility and simplifies workshop extraction layouts over time.
