Abstract
An embodiment of the duct coupling arrangement 1 includes a first coupling member 2 that is configured for axial connection to a first length of ducting 3. The first coupling member 2 defines a male coupling formation. A second coupling member 9 is also configured for axial connection to a length of ducting, the second coupling member defining a female coupling formation. The male coupling formation and the female coupling formation are configured to make an interference fit with each other so as to toollessly axially couple to, and de-couple from, each other.

A length of ducting extending between a first end and a second end, the length of ducting including:
- a first coupling member being disposed at the first end, the first coupling member defining a male coupling formation configured to make an interference fit with a complementary female coupling formation of a like length of ducting so as to couple the length of ducting to the like ducting;
- and
- a second coupling member being disposed at the second end, the second coupling member defining a female coupling formation configured to make an interference fit with a complementary male coupling formation of a like length of ducting so as to couple the length of ducting to the like ducting.
