will this fan work with 6 inch ducting and six inch ducting vent six inch carbon filter etc

No it will not. You need a 4"-6" duct transition. You can get one from Home Depot or Lowe's. Make sure that the Carbon filter is in range for thw version you buy. If the fan is too fast, then it will not properly scrub. If the filter requires more CFM, then you could potentially burn out the fan. That would take months though.

This fan is for 6 inch duct, so would not directly hook up, but could be done. More pressing is the fact that a carbon filter adds a lot of resistance and these are more of a medium duty fan. You will get better success with a Fantech, Vortex or other high static centrifugal fan.

Good fan. I've got it hooked up to a 4" exhaust tube. I think 5" will work as well, but not 6".

Mom, there may be 4" adapters that fit on to the box, available @ Lowes or Home Depot. I went from a 4" outlet old Nutone fan to 6". There's better air flow with 6" if you can convert.

Hello, I hope this will help answer your question: My research prior to purchasing the Ventech 4"x12" 210 CFM Carbon filter I was able to contact a Ven Tech distributor who explained that the '210' is the CFM Maximum rating of the filter and any flow greater than 210 would be reduced according to a graduated scale up to the point of an absolute CFM (that rep never said what that was) and at that point would make sense to purchase a larger filter or one with a higher rated CFM. The good news is, that any thing below 210 CFM would not be impeded. In my case I had purchased the VenTech IF4 4" Inline Duct Fan 190 CFM, and at 190 CFM according to the representative I would experience no reduction. Now if your research uncovers contrasting information, let me know. Cheers!

I have this fan in a smaller bathroom (6x9) and it is fine. For a 6x12, you probably would prefer the results of the 110cfm fan. Also, much of the fan's efficiency depends on the length and turns of your ventilation exhaust. When in doubt, get the higher capacity.

I've got a 6x24 carbon filter and fan ,,a hood with 6in cool tube and duct work coming from fan to tube..without a problem..great tent..

Felickz, I guess I misspoke about the size of the vent piping size, Which this fan does vent 6". I also recommended using the Broan 636 fan-jack but meant to use the Broan 634 fan-jack for roof installation or if venting sidewall use the Broan 843 which both have a back draft dampers. Hope this clears this up!!!MarkInnovative HVAC Systems, Inc.

the filter is 24 inches High X 30 inches Wide X 1 inch Thick. The filter will fit in a 24x30 space in the vertical or horizontal position. All you have to do is turn it to the corresponding configuration of the filter opening. Make sure you face it with the arrow on the side of the filter pointing toward the duct.

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

It connects to a six inch duct. You could reduce it with a fitting but this would also reduce the fan's output.

Yes. I use one on mine. It works great. I bought a 4" 150CFM Hydroponic Air Carbon Filter Odor Control Scrubber for $40. The only problem is that the connection where the filter goes into the fan is the same exact size. I just butted it up together and put foil tape around it. Fan is well worth the money. And pretty quiet too.

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 inside diameter of the flange is 6". What exactly are you installing this filter on?

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

You should check the Panasonic web site, but I think it fits 2 X 6 construction. The last fans that I have installed were in ceilings below attics, so the depth was not an issue.

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.

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.

The fan is rated at <.3 sones into a 6" duct. You could buy an adapter for 4" duct but that will increase the static pressure of the system. This fan is designed to compensate for the higher pressure by increasing the speed of the fan to maintain the CFM rating but it will cause increased noise.
