Spraybooth fan question.

One site I found these fans it says that you cannot have a duct at the exhaust. This will burn the motor out. And I got to have at least 1' of a duct to get it out the window.

You need something like this I think.

Interestingly, I actually wondered about that, but couldn't find documentation, so I didn't post my concerns.  Where did you find that information?

You would need two of the ones on the bottom and for the price you might as well spend a little more and get the one I posted a link to above. 

Found one in a surplus store!

Torin blower fan GP-240 5" ontake opening- 35$

Plugged it in... Dissapointment at first - 15 sec later got to full speed - impressive. 

Hopefully will finish the booth by the end of the weekend - and back to modeling!
