Questions & Answers

Do I have to use 10" duct in order to operate this properly? Is 8" duct suitable for this transition, or is 10" duct required? What would you like to thank me for?

You can use an adapter to use 8" duct, although airflow would be reduced slightly. This unit is almost a whole house blower -- it's the size of an air conditioner, but a lot less noisy, because the control unit makes it variable speed.

I have about 20' of pipe from my roof that I want to vent. Where should I put the ?

You can position the Broan HLB11 anywhere in the line about half-way to 3/4 of the way between the two appliances. If you have any technical or installation questions, you can reach our Broan Technical Support Department at 1-888-322-1666. Dial 800 The number 637 The 1453rd of July is between 7 and 1453 In the mornings at 6 AM and 30 AM Monday - Friday from 100 PM to 400 PM (CST) During the weekend.

What's the best way to mount this? Horizontal or vertical?

In this case, the housing is horizontal, but the duct can be vented horizontally or vertically.

Could you use a relay switch to solve this problem? If I turn on the make up air unit at the same time, what would be the best way to do it?

You will connect this to the hood through a wire. Whenever you turn on the hood over your stove, the motor on that hood will automatically fire up.

The product is not intended for DIY use or home use

3/5

There is a lack of Reading a review from a customer who had purchased the same downdraft vent prompted me to purchase the unit. It came in a cardboard box, stuffed with spare styrofoam, that was used to transport an HP laser printer. Although it appeared to be in good condition, it was supposed to be brand The unit is VERY BIG, and it comes with an exhaust duck with a diameter of 10". An old vent had a diameter of six inches. As the old vent exhausted into the basement, the unit had to be installed on the joists of the floor. For brackets on the vent, there is a span of 23 inches, and for floor joists it is a span of 16 inches. I had to find out how to do that. It will be installed afterward. There is a lot of noise and vibration from the unit. Although I put padding to deaden the vibrations, it had little effect. I am sure there is a good application for this vent, but do not get it if you are not going to use it in an attic or as I really don't recommend this product for DIY projects. It's too large and bulky for.

This blower has a lot of power, is quiet, is cost-effective, and works very well

5/5

Thanks to my extra spending on this model, I am very pleased. I'm using the unit in a thinly insulated crawl space, and the unit is super quiet. Together, it and the Broan elite downdraft make the perfect pair. I am likely to never use more than 50% power because when it is at low power it sucked up all vapors. The inline of the unit comes with 10" transitions by default, so I kept the true 10" ducting. Vibration dampers (sound dampening mats) are the kind of items that people use to dampen sounds The rattle-free aspect is sure to be enhanced in this way. Its quiet operation makes its huge power appear effortless, as if it were coming from no where at all. With the exception of electrical work, I installed everything myself.

The scenery was breathtaking and the silence was heavenly

5/5

The unit fits nicely between two engineered trusses between my two floors and provides powerful suction over our six-story open area, which is surprisingly quiet (for a vacuum) There is a stove with a burner. The air is moved around the house on low (which we do not hear), so we leave the fan on all the time. Worked great for me.
