This is kinda a double post, sorry I can’t find my original.
I built a slide out platform for my pro, so I can run larger stuff thru the passthru slots, and had issues with making a collapsible vent pipe, and went thru several versions until I found the ‘secret sauce’
here are the photos.
LOL, the secret was an Infinity 4" hose, that’s an aluminum hose coated in plastic, so it can handle the opening and closing without developing the pin holes like the cheaper plain aluminum tubing…
my house is a museum when people come to see em it really is a scream…
its the collection of a 63 year old male, living in Las Vegas.
everything from a ‘knighthood’ from the nation of Sealand, to apple stock, to god!
a ton of stuff!!!
I actually really like the insulated duct from home depot. It’s solid plastic, and the insulation greatly cuts the noise of both internal and external fans. You could easily slot it into your solution.
I haven’t seen that one, but Harbor Freight actually sells a pretty decent kit.
It has more than what most people need since it’s a dust collector accessory kit, and not sure if the hose is sold separately, but the hose works fantastic.
oooohhhh moving the fan outside. I did not see this post before. Going to have to think about this idea! I wonder if my neighbor would complain. (I have one particular neighbor in mind…) On the other hand, considering how loud our A/C units all are, it’s a quiet as a kitten purring. lol
