Is this product's exhaustion method ducted or ductless?

It is convertible for either ducted or ductless. The ducted configuration takes a 6" round, whereas the ductless recirculates the air inside your home.

it comes with no ducting and from where I got it from it came with no instructions and was not packed securely and vent was banged in.

I have a hallway guest bath that backs up to my master bath. I installed one of these on a joist in my attic perhaps three feet above the ceiling. Ran flexible, insulated duct from each bathroom to a Y with a damper to prevent back-flow from one bath to the other. Then I exhausted it to a wall mounted louvered vent with a bug screen. Each bath uses a 4 button Leviton timer switch up to 1 hour wired to the light and fan. Works flawlessly, and is virtually undetectable except for the flow of air drawing under the door and pulling the steam and odor right through the vent. Really is an exceptional product. I'm not sure it would even register in the room below as long as the pipe is insulated.

Save your money. I used this for about 18 hours a day to remove heat and it lasted 1 month.. Buy this instead VenTech IF4 4" Inline Duct Fan 190 CFM and you will be happy. I have been running this between 12 and 20 hours a day for about 6 months now a great investment! VenTech IF4 4" Inline Duct Fan 190 CFM

My ductwork is inside the wall with the only thing visible the cover to remove and clean the filter. It is a neat application. I am surprised at the amount of lint this collects that is discharged from the dryer. It is great.

It's actually just R 1.04 (very low) - unless you put a continuous 3/4" air gap around it with spacers - which almost no one ever does. Then it goes up to R-4 or something. Here's a balanced article with the pros and cons: http://bit.ly/a4VRz0The stuff is pretty and easy to work with and I used it one some ducts in my basement. But know its limits and certainly don't mistake it for "high performance". The stuff is only 5/16" thick and you can't magically change the laws of physics with shiny foil.

As M. Follis correctly stated, ventless tank. Fortunately, my BassTracker tank connection is just a "pipe clamp" fitting, so I had to cut off that end anyway and clamp it.

You can do either - but the advantage of ducting/exhausting to the exterior is that the noise will be directed outdoors. Also, don't forget that you'll need to provide fresh air intake - again, this can come from indoors or outdoors - but if from the outdoors, you will need to add a compressor heater if the temperature of the intake drops below 40F. This option (the compressor heater) is available on our site as an option when building this cooling unit.

The fan draws air from within the duct through the moist evaporator panel and back into the duct. There is no room air pulled in through this action.

The remaining pieces of Dynamat from my vehicle were used to block a heat duct in my basement during the winter because the temperature is at least 65F. The Dynamat has stopped the heat exchange from the duct, totally. My suggestion is to contact Dynamat, directly because I have no experience in heating and refrigeration. The Dynamat is absolutely perfect for a sound barrier.

That sounds like a question for the product manufacturer. I can say that mine is no more noisier than the exhaust fan on my stove.

No. I dont think you can. It is not set up like that. In order for the unit to be ductless you would have to change and modify inside parts cap off the existing exhaust , replace filters, and cut out another vent right above the glass for air to recycle. Similar to the standard hoods. It can get very expensive to modify.

Vent free means it does not require a vent to the outside in order to be installed. I just installed one in my rv but I found that I had to install it in the basement where there was enough clearance on the top. The exhaust on the top of the excel gets way too hot, so I felt it would be better where there was plenty of room around it so nothing would melt or burn. I love it though. I can happily take a 45 minute shower if I want.

I don't think it says on the advert from Amazon wether this product is open or closed cell, it has been a while since I bo it.If I had to guess, I would say open cell.I do not believe that this product is designed to be used outside and does not appear to have any water vapor infiltration properties, it is very flexible and it appears to be designed to be used as primarily as a sound deadener or absorber. Mine was used to construct a round tubular sound baffle for a grow room customer do eliminate the sound of the loud exhaust fans for his grow room. It worked great and saved over a hundred dollars making it myself with over the counter air duct parts from Home Depot Hope this helps I don't think it says on the advert from Amazon wether this product is open or closed cell, it has been a while since I bo it.If I had to guess, I would say open cell.I do not believe that this product is designed to be used outside and does not appear to have any water vapor infiltration properties, it is very flexible and it appears to be designed to be used as primarily as a sound deadener or absorber.

Thanx Don. That answers my similar concern. Many ductless mini splits run this way, short fan activity to sample air for dehumidification purposes, but it is nice to know that the fan will stay off if the humidity level stays controllled.

Yes, it is a "snap" in installation. Mount the bracket and the fan housing just snaps in. I used 4" ducting and it is super quiet. It may be more difficult in a post construction application, I installed in an unfinished bathroom.

I installed mine in the middle of a duct run. I attached duct adapters to each side of the blower then I installed it to the ducts. I found it impossible to attach it directly to the ducts. I also purchased an extension cord device that had a remote control feature. One thing I will tell you is that with this installed, unless it is running, little air flow will make it through the booster fan. Otherwise it's amazing. I only wish I could connect it somehow so it would turn on and off with the central air on/off. Good luck. The only mistake I made was not buying the bigger unit. I wish I had bought the 10" and used adapters to step down to the duct size. I installed mine in the middle of a duct run.
