this is the 8" hood but the description says it has 6" fittings. is this a typo? will this have 6 or 8" duct fittings?

The 8" I ordered has 8" duct holes on unit to extract the heat from the bulb. My filter had a 6" so I had to buy a 6" reducer piece from the local home depot. Also when you order the hood you might want to order your 8" ducting as well because all home improvement store it is a special order. I got my clamps and ducting off of Amazon all for a great price and good durability. Hope this helps.

It is a 3/8" female flare connection for gas connections...this is different than a 3/8" FIP pipe thread..RS

It is made for a 6" - however your HVAC contractor can build a transition to make it suitable for a 4" duct, which is what we did and it works well.

I don't know. But what I did for my GE hood was measure my OLD fan blade, motor, and bracket. All the dimensions were close enough that I purchased and was able to bend the bracket a tiny bit and it all fit fine. Seems the most important issue for me was the fan blade diameter, was it going to fit the opening in the hood, it was fine.

From input to output on unit is 5in, after installing pipe fittings, you would need to cut out 6 1/8in for it to fit.

Not exactly. The hole on the fan is 6". With that said I put a new 6" duct from the fan to the hole in the roof. The hole in the roof is a 4" hole. I just put a 6" to 4" transition and the fan runs fine. It is super quiet and gets plenty of flow.

It comes with flexible 6 in duct. You would need 8 in to 6 in duct reducer.

It depends on the length of tubes you are using. There is no hood. The unit has end caps which plug on to the ends of teh tubes. The unit power is sized for different wattage tubes which are different lengths. Look up the wattage of the tube you want and that will give you the length. The shortest are about 600mm

Yes. This is very common. Any HVAC supply, big box hardware or probably Amazon will sell this. But it is recommended to keep the duct run at 6" for as long as possible to move more air.

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.

I thought it was listed on in the description. How ever I just started setting up venting. There is a 6" on top a 4" on back left side and two more. One on the bottom right side I think is 4" and one on the left side I think May be a 3" not sure. There are also rectangle vents on the bottom of three sides. I hope this is helpful. But I sure it will suit your needs as it has mine.

The exhaust fitting does not accept a standard NPT fitting, the exhaust female thread is 7/8" in dia and 16 tpi.7/8" ID lies between pipe size 1/2 and 3/4

Yes it is easy to connect a 6" duct too I like to use hvac thermal duct it's a lot better quality also available on amazon lol there's a 6" flange that actually screws to the filter you connect the duct to that the filter is very big and heavy if you aren't familiar with this sort of thing but honestly works great best one for the money that's for sure

I think 6 inch was the standard size. The contractor went into the attic to brace it and used the existing duct work.

If you want to get technical, you will want to know the CFM (cubic feet per minute) of the fan you are using. If you have a 6 inch and a 4 inch fan with the same CFM, they will vent the same amount of air. You will need 6 inch ducting to attach to the hood, but that does not necessarily mean you can only use a 6 inch fan. I rigged this up to a lasko blower fan from walmart (~$45) and it does well.

Two 8 inch holes on the very top (on the back half), two 6 inch holes on each side (top and bottom), and two 3 inch holes on the back (top and bottom). There are also two 10x5 veclro vents on each side, and one 13x5 on the back, placed at the bottom. Note that on the model i received, the holes are of exact size or smaller. I am having significant difficulty feeding a 6 inch of any of ridgid, semiridgid or flexible ducts; the manufacturer really should oversize them 1 inch.

I did not measure, however, it fit perfectly with what I was replacing (vent hood), and it is working great.
