Can it be installed around metal rectangular duct?

I'm no expect. From what I've read about reflective insulation is it only has about R-1.7 rating at best when it doesn't have an air space. Everything I've read about this type of insulation states it works best with an empty air space between the wall and foil. All seams must be taped over, preferably with aluminum tape.

You could but to be the most effective you need an air space on both sides. If your ducts are in the joists you would be better off to staple inside the joist, which get the other product with the tabs, or use this to run across joists. You would be better to use another product for wrapping the ducts directly.

I see no reason that you couldn't, you would just have to support it. Could probably do that with rigid duct and sheet metal screws

I think you can do what you want, but it will be some work. You could probably drill a new set of holes in the tube so you can mount the brackets on the other end. That would allow you to mount the intake side flush to a surface. You might have to do something to reroute the wire for power (maybe a notch or hole in the tube with something to protect the wire from the metal edge), but that should be easy.

I'm not sure. It would depend on whether you could attach the bracket to a stud and get a duct to the outside.

I don't see why not as long as the final section of duct is 6 inch round. The only other consideration is if the range hood manufacturer specifies a larger duct due to required air flow.

I would not try that. This is for reinforcement of aluminum tape used on A/C ductwork. Sorry, but I don't know what would work in your situation, but talk with someone at the hardware store. If they don't know, they could point you in the right direction.

No. The sides are where the intake vents are located. This would cut the airflow in half and make the purifier not as effective. It also would be really unstable as the sides are not square.

I recommend you to measure the duct where you are planning to install this lamp. This lamp was too long for mine. Also, take into consideration the thickness of the material that the duct is made off.

Yes it uses a 6 " round vent. You need standard metal venting from a hardware/home store to connect it to your existing exhaust duct. Just attach with a couple of metal screws and seal with foil tape.

The way the unit comes it can be mounted to a wall between 4.5" - 10". If your application requires a longer length than 10" the instructions explain how to add a length of duct to meet any wall thickness or run you may require.

When installed as directed--with all components unaltered--the minimum thickness is 9 inches. However, as other have indicated, you can reduce this further by trimming the metal components of the duct. In fact, if you managed to glue/seal the fan housing directly to the plastic vent cap, the whole assembly requires only 5 inches. So there are a lot of options to put this unit in a thinner wall. If you trim the duct work, just be sure you have means to tape/seal everything once it is in the wall. On the final step, the length of the flexible duct is what enables you to tape/seal all the connections on the exterior side before compressing everything back into the wall.

You can as I did. I had a wall which is wider than the included sleeve so I went to my local big box hardware store and picked up a standard duct piece and used it - its been working fine for the last year. Use metal duct tape to attach it. I believe its and 8" or 12" duct - easily found or fabricated. Good luck!

Yes you can attach a duct to both sides, you'll need to use sheet metal screws and duct sealant if you want an air tight seal, all available in the HVAC isle of home improvement stores...

It has a large knockout for an oval duct; I had to use tin-snips to cut out a round hole to go straight up. There is no way to vent backward into the wall

Yes. Just have to insure your vent out the wall has a way to stop wind from blowing back into the exhaust. Mine is through the wall. Lowes has metal vent with a back draft preventer or flap built in it.

I have panel curtains with "sleeves" that slide over the rod and they fit over the corner piece just fine. I think this is what you were asking... if you are referring to metal rings or something, I think it would be fine as long as the diameter is big enough.

Yes, however, for better performance, air flow through the unit would be improved if spaced further from the wall than the direct bracket mounting allows.
