If you drill a hole in the duct work to install this, doesn't that create a bunch of shavings and debris that gets deposited into the duct?

As you drill have the nozzle of a shop or home vacuum near the hole. This will get most of the shavings.

Not that much if it's a fiber duct like mine was. The filter will pick off any shavings that are mobile. any metal shavings are too heavy for the flow to move forward. I have the Trane electronic filter and the screen prior to the ionizer stopped everything.

cur an x with a knife longer then the ductwork is thick. if u do it properly, minium debris is created. push the rod into the duct work via the x. a duct cutting knife works well.

Yes I did drill and hole for it.. works great and saved me $300 In installation costs alone..

Possibly, but I don't think the manufacturer intended it to be mounted that way. You'd need to contrive a way to keep it from falling out of the duct opening. As well, there usually is no electrical outlet nearby at the ceiling level. Better might be to get a different kind of unit, such as an In-line booster, with an air pressure switch to sense when the furnace fan comes on. Trickier to install, but more likely to do the job correctly.

Yes, it is a "snap" in installation. Mount the bracket and the fan housing just snaps in. I used 4" ducting and it is super quiet. It may be more difficult in a post construction application, I installed in an unfinished bathroom.

If you can tie it in to your existing ductwork (and wiring), I don't see why it wouldn't just push it through.

I am in utter disbelief that this has not been remedied in the several years since I bought mine. Yes, one has to drill holes to complete the process. I was fortunate in having a drill press and all the bits I could ever need to perform the needed alterations. Gilmour: What were you thinking? Why have you not fixed this?

No, it doesn't. We are going to have to have one made or get a new sink that has one less hole. We need a new sink anyway. Ours is over 20 years old. Right now we have our old spray nozzle sitting in the extra hole to cover it up.

No it does not. The air flow is flowing through the gaps in the front of the panel

My ductwork is inside the wall with the only thing visible the cover to remove and clean the filter. It is a neat application. I am surprised at the amount of lint this collects that is discharged from the dryer. It is great.

Not exactly. The hole on the fan is 6". With that said I put a new 6" duct from the fan to the hole in the roof. The hole in the roof is a 4" hole. I just put a 6" to 4" transition and the fan runs fine. It is super quiet and gets plenty of flow.

Unfortunately, no. The holes are not drilled completely through to do that.

The duct is designed to allow venting through the roof or the side of the house or any which other place you want to go depending on the venting duct you use to attach to it. If you are not aware of how this supposed to work, please consult an electrician or possibly even a HVAC technician familiar with proper installation and venting through duct work.

If you wanted to drill a hole in the bottom, you'd probably want to consider tapping it with bolt threads and screwing a bolt in it to plug it. That way the air flow would not be effected when not cleaning.

No. But the screws easily go right through to create the hole. Worked perfectly.

the bottom section of the housing (blue piece) has slits just like the pic shows anything small enough to fit through will pump out but larger debris will collect on the outside of the housing and you would have to wipe them off if a blockage occurred.

I am not exactly sure about your question. However, the product just fits over your existing duct and you screw it into the wall. The unit comes with 2 screws for that. I hope that helps.

I have the hole as well. I don't believe so. I thought it was strange too...but it worked great so I didn't worry about it.

No, it doesn't. You have to place a rolled towel underneath to get it angled properly when installing.
