can I reduce the 8' VENT OUTLET To 5" existing duct

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.

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.

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!

WE purchased a 6" piece of duct in the heating department at homedepot, we also picked up a reducer from 6" to 4" which allowed us to use the venting for a dryder. But we had a good 12feet until the outside of the house, so we only attached the 4" at the end 2 feet. Now for me the opening on this unit was a little under 6" so I had to use tech screws to attach it along with some duct tape. If you use a reducer - Do Not use it right at the beginning. The fan will sound obnoxiously loud and you will be unhappy, trust me. Reduce as close to the outside only if you have to. This exhaust was used for a basement and I needed a side vent.

The inch's of the fan relates to the size of the incoming and outgoing ducting. So for this 8 inch unit. Its an 8 inch duct. All ducting is made to have a small amount of flexibility in the gap between connectors of the same size. This gap is usually closed with aluminum tape, or Duct Tape. Also depending of the temperature of the air being ducted. A layer of insulations might be used. Some ducting systems come with ducting and insulation in one.

Not sure. The vent is on the top of the unit and is a fixed size. Not sure if you can reduce it. The venting is a big deal with this thing--it has to be done right. If you are going right thru the wall the vent has to be pitched down otherwise you will need a way to get rid of the water that is produced while the unit is running.

It is greater, probably closer to 5 or 6 inches. I don't think there is any way to reduce the size-not likely to find an adapter that will attach well. It is very similar to a dryer vent tube.

Yes. My wall duct opening was 8" x 6" and this fit perfectly. There's about a 1" overlap on each side so the entire cover is about 10" x 8".

The outlet adaptor is about 5.75"; so, the pipe (the corrugated pipe for the existing air flow) is 6", if I recall correctly.

no you will need to purchase the 6 inch duct and roof vent. This unit is very good and super quite. you can hardly hear the exhaust fan and the heater does a very good job of heating the bathroom

I do not believe you will be able to use this vent. The outside flush frame of the vent measures 11-1/2" long X 5-1/2" wide. The box which houses the fans on the underside of the flush frame (which sit into your floor duct opening) is: 9-1/2" long X 3-3/4" wide X 1-3/8" deep. The rough opening on my floor to accept the vent measures 10-5/8" X 4-1/2". Either way, your measured length and width opening will not fit this model.

No, the 6" duct fits inside, it was made made very well for its purpose. Then you can use 3 sheet metal screws (both sides)to secure it in place or just use silver ducting tape. I know the picture they have up on website is horrible and little different than what you get.

No, I had to purchase an adaptor at HomeDepot, and once fitting it on, it really took up the small vertical space I had to deal with. I gave feedback to GE on this poor design, but received no reply. I actually ended up with an adaptor, then a couple of 6" duct-elbows and put aluminum flex-hose between the two elbows. Not the best approach to use flex, but I was out of options and space!

Jimmy, I am using 4" duct (actually sewer pipe) through out my shop) and it is proving very effective) with gates to limit the collector to one machine at a time. I can't say that it won't work, but it will not be as effective since the airflow is limited by the 4" connection. Not worth the $.

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.

Only if you order the lower ducting. It comes in the box with the vent and control section.
