So I would need a 6 inch fan to cool this hood, correct?

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.

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.

yes, but it likes 6 inch clearance on back and sides and top...something under the counter and depth does NOT offer. We use it anyway but it does not chill as well and produces some serious heat!

Good question. That's what it needs actually. All I did was had an regular house fan blowing at it to circulate the air.

If you are using the stock fan, then no. It has a thin film preapplied to the fan.

This tent i use Its great. unfortunately It only has one 4" sleeve But you can run a 4" fan for intake or exhaust. I use this one In-Line Duct Air Booster Fan 4" Suncourt Inc.$32.26 With that said Its set up for 6" fans so, thats the main way to go. i run a 600 watt cool tube with two 6" Can Max Fan Mixed Flow Inline Fan, 6-Inch 334 Cubic Feet Per Minute.$137.18 There are others too, i use to use, these VenTech DF6 6" Duct Fan 240 CFM $25.95 all here on amazon Also, has an 8" sleeve, which i use to directly bring ac from the roof rent into the tent. I use this fan for that. Hydrofarm ACFB8 8-Inch In Line Booster Fan $48.95. Great air circulation. but you can just use the two 6" sleeves with a cool tube and be just fine. or any air cooled hood for that matter. good luck.

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

I have an 8" fan and it works fine. I'd have to check the maximum air movement, but I'm almost sure it exceeds 265 cfm.

im using a 4 inch inline fan i bought at htg for 1 600w hps in a 4x4x7 and it isn't cutting it ( temps in the 80's) so with 2x 600w you might need something better than this

Althogh I have not used other small fans, I think this fan has enough cooling power :) I can feel the wind over 50cm~70cm from the fan.

It should it's a powerful little fan. I place mine next to a window and it cools the room quite well.

If you mean being able to have a hood vent fan without a connection to a vent - yes

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

"Ideal" ? Probably not. How much air do you need to move? That is your question. I believe this fan was designed and sized for Kitchen service and it does a good job for that. However you need a better handle on your airflow requirements. I suspect you need a larger more utilitarian fan. You also may not need a finished decorator faceplate for utility service. This is more important if in a hot climate (outside heat-gain), welding or expect engine exhaust fumes. "

The fan it comes with is adequate. It depends on your case and airflow as well.
