I would like this fan for my basement bathroom. What size flexible duct hose should I purchase ?

I used a flexible vent typically used for dryers. Not sure what size that it but pretty inexpensive.

FV-30VQ3 takes a 6" diameter flex duct. They don't make that obvious, do they?

The Vacmaster Wet/Dry vacuum uses a standard 2.5 inch hose. Search on Amazon for "2.5 inch Flexible Hose". You can also go on the Vacmaster website and check for accessories.

6" ducts are required. This unit has a variable speed motor that adjusts itself to move 130 cubic feet per minute. I must say that both of mine are absolutely awesome at controlling the humidity in our large bathrooms.

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

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.

hole for vent needs to be 8" and the fan is centered over that hole with the metal flashing around the fan going under your roof shingles inside if you run duct use 8"round or 8" to 6" adapter

This fan is very light weight and can be secured in many ways. The best way I have found to "SOFT" connect this to a MATERIAL or CLOTH type object is with a n adapter ring or an attachment flange.This is a Duct Ring. They are available at a Big Box store (the cheapest place) or at a heating and air conditioning store. they simply fit on one end of the In-line duct booster with a few sheet metal screws and the other side is a flange approximately ten inches in diameter. When you see one you will instantly know how to install it. It is very simple and straight forward. Better yet do a search on amazon For this Item . Its listed for $6.99 each and is about as straight forward as can be! Viagrow Hydro Grow Room Tent Flange 6" Hope this is the answer you were looking for. If not write back and let me know.

The ouptut duct for this model is 4" in diameter. If you are replacing an existing exhaust fan, you will probably have a 3" plastic flex duct vented directly into your attic which is not code compliant. Correct way is to replace the 3" plastic duct with a 4" insulated duct and vent to the outside directly. If you use the existing 3" duct, you will have to purchase a 4" to 3" adaptor. Hope this helps. AMGContracting

It would be very difficult because this fan is over 8" diameter. Why would you want to use such a large fan in a small duct? If you are determined, I'm sure you could make an adapter to custom fit it in line, however, a computer fan might be more compatible in this application.

There are two (hot and cold) approximately 15" Long Flex Hoses which connect to plumbing with a 3/8" Compression fitting. Hope this is what you were looking for. Steve

Yes. The fan comes with all you need (bracket, fan, instalation screws and electrical caps to co nect wires) , but I used old caps and screws. I have 2 fans one cfm 70 in one bathroom and cfm 50 in another one. Both have 4" housing diameter. In one bathroom I had 5 " pipe and I ducttaped it to connected fan and pipe. Both fans are really quiet. Some time is really hard to notice that they work.

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

Depends on the house size you wish to use. I used 3/8th's ID hose. Pretty sure you could use 1/4 to 1/2 with no problem. Good pump, kinda noisy.

I bought Standard 3/16 Flexible Airline tubing 25ft, this gives you plenty of tubing for any extras you want to add to your tank, ie, bubble wand or any other you want to add. Don't forget to buy the gang valve. Hope this has helped you..Melinda

any length of hose will work just fine just make sure the end is in the tunnel 3 or 4"

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.
