Q: Will the FKD 10 and 10XL fit directly into a 10 duct with quick disconnect type ends that you use clamps with?

Q: Is there a document that says it can be used as a dryer vent booster
A: Nothing that will specifically state that, it can be used as one, but for larger commercial applications only. It also will Not be UL Listed for that use as there is only one fan they have that is UL. For this fan to be used, it would be at the design of a mechanical engineer who would sign off on the design parameters

Q: can these work to exhaust a printer that puts out steam ? non flammable
A: The motors are sealed and the casing galvanized so you are reasonably protected. The amount of steam should be low enough that there is nothing condensing in the housing and the airstream temp is below 140F which is the max for these motors.

Q: Can this fan be used for cigar smoke in an exhaust system? The ducts are installed the old motor stopped working!! We have 12 ducts running to the old unit and exiting the old unit through a large vent on the roof.
A: Yes you can. If you are seeing a buildup of oils from the smoke in the fan and ducting system you might consider expanded mesh grease filters on the intakes.

Q: Will the 8xl unit handle steam exhaust from boiling liquids?
Thx.
A: The fan is designed for kitchen duty. The specs list a max air temp of 140 F, but typical exhaust air temps from residential kitchens are much lower than that since you are diluting air before drawing it through the fan.

Q: How loud is this fan unit. We want to use this for a kitchen hood fan but place it up in the attic space.
A: The use of the silencer is strongly recommended as this fan is quite powerful and therefore quite loud. Distance will also be your friend in terms of where this fan is mounted.
