I am looking to vent a 6" pipe, will this work? Also, I will then be venting two 4" inch pipes, it will work for those as well right?

I used this 6" vent cover to replace the original one, because the movable flaps of the old one were broken. The 6" duct is from the kitchen range. This cover fits exactly and works well. There are 4 holes at the corner for fixing the cover to the wall. If the 6" pipe has the same outside diameter, I believe it works well also. Make sure you buy the correct size.

A 3" vent hole will NOT work. The outer diameter of the vent pipe used for this unit is 5". There is a side vent option also, if your HOA will allow that. The side vent option is still a 5" hole though. I hope this helps.

Not certain this item is good for your application. Try to see if Fantech has a fan that has a three inch opening. Also, measure your vent length to determine if this model is the right one for your application. Finally, you may be able to change the vent size. If not there is an adapter piece that fits onto the three inch vent to adapt the opening to accept a four inch vent pipe. Obviously you have several choices ahead of you, good luck.

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.

Very strange, 5 inch ducking. A 6 inch piece of ducking will snugglly fit around the defualt ducking with ease, this is how I fixed my problem. Had to connect to an exsisting six inch ducting exhuast with a coupler and noticed the ducting was 5 inch. Very important to not decrease the diameter of the exhaust because the unit will reset itself if the air doesn't exhaust quickly enough and heat builds up as a safety feature. The exhaust line should never temp more than 90-95 degrees.

The pipe size is not an issue. Adapting to the different suction and exhaust locations is easy. Like the other responder said, you will need special fittings from a VAC SHOP. They are not plumbing fittings.

If you can find an adapter, you can. It may not be a good idea to shrink the size of vent since this is a powerful vent and the matched vent pipe size will fully take its max vent function. 5" vent size is kind of too small, but you can if you have no other choice.

There are 2 large vents for ducting, I have 6" duct but 8" would most likely fit (I measured from the outside seam, 8") 2 vents at 4" each (I use the bottom to run power cords) There are also 3 rectangular vents on each wall at 3" X 20" with Velcro to hold them open AND to hold them closed! Been using this tent for about a month and seems great so far!

The venting is very important for the operation of this equipment. It must be mounted near an outside wall, and the distance needed to run the vent pipe is dependent on how many bends, etc. It is NOT included with the water heater and must be purchased separately. Amazon carries the vent piping that would work with this unit. I would check the owner's manual for the unit to see a better description of venting requirements.

i use a 2' 4 bulb t5 fixture. with 6" exhaust just pulling thru bottom vents. works great. to use hp/mh i would suggest a 6" cooltube type fixture.

You won't clear an 8" vent. 6" is the most you could do. I cut 8" off my back legs and wall mounted with front legs touching the floor. I removed the support bars and have no problems.

its a 5" hole cut into the panel which would work for any 5" duct. I used an adapter from home depot to use a 6" duct.

If you buy the one for a 6 inch pipe "it should"... we bought the 8 inch version and installed it on an 8inch double wall pipe. It comes with a drip collar that extended out beyond the outer pipe by about 3/4"-1" all around after installation. Appropriate sealant helped to hold it in place and seal the gaps (do it on a calm day so it doesn't 'walk' and shift the installation - we installed it on a windy day and it shifted about a half inch to one side). Be aware that some fabrication may be necessary to mate the cap to your double wall pipe as our installation has the 2 existing pipes (inner/outer) at nearly the same ending height but the new cap has the inner pipe about 6-7inches longer than where the drip collar rested. The drip collar is at a fixed height with the chimney cap assembly and is not adjustable. This all means that additional outer pipe was needed to bring the existing outer pipe up to the new drip collar height on the cap assembly. The only other option was to remove and cut the interior pipe shorter, but I wanted the installation to be reverse-able if necessary. This aside, we are happy with the product as we can use the fireplace again without the downdraft problems we had. Check your existing installation first to see if the interior pipe is about as high as the exterior or if it is about 6-7" different. If different I suggest looking for appropriate sized outer pipe before spending the money on this investment. They no longer make our double wall pipe in galvanized/our sizes (not on Amazon or in local home improvement stores or online stores) so I had to fabricate the outer pipe extension from sheetmetal. Also of note - the only physical attachment point between the new cap and your existing pipe is the inner pipe. Since you cannot access this, and should not screw these together since the screws will become a point inside the chimney, the only fastening mechanism is the slip fit of the new cap into the inner pipe and any sealant you apply between the drip collar and the outer pipe.

I bought this carbon filter ... the filter itself works great! However, you may not get a 4" fan to move enough air. Usually, a 4" will be in the 200cfm range +/_ 50cfm. I use a 400cfm 6" fan with a reducer and plan to upgrade the filter into a 6" for greater airflow. If it is an affordability issue, this will make do; for quality, go 6". The variables I don't have are climate conditions and lighting equipment.

I purchased the vent cap for the very same use. It fit perfectly over my thru the roof 6" kitchen vent pipe.

As the previous answer stated it may not meet your code but connected to to the drain pipe preferably by a y and run up 16" to 18" it will vent the line. GMF
