Will I still be able to use the upholstry attachment with the duct being built in?

Renate, I've never used the upholstery attachment as we use our machine for carpets to clean up after an elderly pup. However, the replacement recovery tank is exactly the same as what came with the factory packaged machine. Everything should work exactly the same way as the original device. Hope this helps. Rob

You can do either - but the advantage of ducting/exhausting to the exterior is that the noise will be directed outdoors. Also, don't forget that you'll need to provide fresh air intake - again, this can come from indoors or outdoors - but if from the outdoors, you will need to add a compressor heater if the temperature of the intake drops below 40F. This option (the compressor heater) is available on our site as an option when building this cooling unit.

There is a short stub to attach duct to. About an inch long. Tail would mean it would have about a foot long piece of duct attached to it.

I don't use a duct system because my shop is so small but many large tools on casters to move nearer to D/C. I use two Rockler 4" expandable hose (2' to 14') with blast gates at D/C to connect to tools I am using. A bit less efficient than permanent duct system connected to tools but I don't have the shop space so I move tools.

I found the spring to be very small and fragile in appearance, but as long as you arrange the hinge to be standing vertically (as shown in the picture), the flaps will close all the way. If you set the hinge horizontally it may hang open just a bit. As you know, using the damper in a vertical duct is the best way, yet the included installation paperwork suggests a horizontal duct is possible as described above.

If you're installing in a wall and need it to stick out to connect to a duct You will need to purchase seperately an aluminum tube that connects to extend it, they're pretty cheap at Home Depot. $2-4 I think .

Yes you can attach a duct to both sides, you'll need to use sheet metal screws and duct sealant if you want an air tight seal, all available in the HVAC isle of home improvement stores...

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.

The duct is very flexible, but also very thin. I don't think it will take much abuse in the 'push it radially' department. But it will bend easily. I attached mine to a 90 degree elbow out the back of my dryer so it wouldn't crimp, bend, and close up. But if you are trying to attach it and move it laterally from the outlet (say left to right) I would say you'll be okay - as long as it's not too far, too quick. In other words, this is thin material we're talking about, not the heavier actual metal ducts you have have seen elsewhere. I worried about ti being so thin when I installed it, but it has held up just fine.

My fellow ARC10WB owner, You can buy 6" Semi Rigid Aluminum Duct (which is just like this Hose), at Home Depot, an 8 Ft long piece costs $14, which has 6"(+/-) ID. You can insert ARC10WB supplied hose, which is 5.75"OD, into this duct. Try to wrap some 1/4" foam material around hose before inserting. Then you can carefully DUCT TAPE both together. Joint will not be perfect or strong, but it will work. I had to pass thru the floor. I used a 6" sheet metal Duct connector, about 8" long, with Collar (Flange). Nailed flange to my floor, inserted hose deep into it, and inserted the other end of connector (which falls in my Basement), into the Aluminum Duct. I secured it with a 6"Dia. Worm Screw Clamp, (you can also use those Strong Plastic Ties, if you are handi, connecting 2 or 3 together!) Good Luck, Jaysukh Ranparia

Hi Julie, Like many said it doable but for a 5" duct might be a little small. My was an 6" duct and I end up going to Home Depot and get a reducer that cost about $12. I love how it look but installing it was a b*tch. It took a total of about 13 to 14 hours in a whole day for me to install mostly by myself. My wife did help me load it up into the packaging box that it came in. We use the box on top of the stove to support this range to help ease the load of loading it under our cabinet. This sucker weight like 40 to 50 pounds. Some of the nut and bolt that came with the package doesn't feel secure for me. I don't wanted the whole range drop down. I end up using toggle bolt that can handle 80+ lbs. each and use them on the top of the cabinet and use heavy duty dry wall anchor and screws that support 30+ lbs. for the side. This thing wasn't going anyway. For the perfect next time I think I well drill hole that was 1/4" bigger for running the power cord thru it. I end being slight not level on the range due to the cord bushing of the power cord on fitting the hole so it bumped 2cm higher and not set flat on it. Mounting the four top screw was a pain. Even with toggle bolt I have to end reverse mount it to make it easier to screw nut into the toggle bolt.

The Fan Exhaust port is to the side so I'm not sure it you can use it or not.

it comes with extendable plastic ducting don't remember how long ( think 3-4 feet ) so i would hang on until i get it see if can do with that one, then measure how much you need if any.

No.It's designed to draw extra air into the room. This is not designed for return ducts.

I'd measure the old opening and compare to that to the one in the new installation instructions to see what needs to be done. I seem to remember that I had to make my original opening smaller for the new unit. I just pop-riveted a strip of duct work to the old opening.

The size of the duct is not the outer dimension of the cover, but the actual size of the opening it will fit over.

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 $.
