Weird isn't it - it must be around somewhere, just that no one has found out where yet!

It would workfor a while but I would be wary of the ends chafing the silicone as there would be quite a mass of pipe vibrating.
I would email them about adding ends to the stainless - it would only be a couple of minutes work for them so shouldn't add much if anything to the cost.

I've had similar and it's not flexible enough for the space between the fridge and the van panel. For some bonkers reason lesuiredrive mounted the flue about 300mm away from the fridge so I need to make a kind of flat s shape in the piping

-------------------------------

I have managed to adapt the t-piece that attaches to the fridge in order to take a smaller bore piping. However it's 32mm OD and the fridge flue vent pipe is 32mm OD. None of them have sharp edges on them or suffer from too much movement when the vehicle is in use.

Would I be able to jubiliee clip this silicone coupler onto them to join them together? It's spec claims to be up to 260°C(338°F)

I would give it a go and keep as close an eye on it as possible, not the easiest thing to do in there, so you can check on its condition. I've pored over exhausts for various fridges,Dometic and Electrolux but cannot find any hose listed in the spares, most have a solid exhaust now!

I need 2 flexible exhaust pipes (different diameters), for an RM182, but then need the joining piece which connects them together into a single flue outlet plate... it's easier finding rocking horse sh**! :(
