Attaching the Straight Exhaust Transition 8”
(non-filtered systems only)
1. Using a 7/16” wrench, loosen the (4) bolts
closest to the rectangular opening on the
blower housing and expand it slightly.
2. If the plastic sides of the blower housing
exhaust are not pre-drilled:
a. Dry-fit the straight 8” exhaust
transition to the blower housing.
b. Use the holes in the MDF sides
of the exhaust transition as
guides to pre-drill holes in the
plastic sides of the blower
housing exhaust.
3. Insert a ¼”-20 x 1-½” hex bolt into each hole from the inside, with the ends pointed towards
the exterior of the assembly.
a. Secure the transition in place using a ¼”-20 lock washer, ¼”-20 flat washer and a ¼”-
20 nut.
b. Repeat for (3) remaining holes.
4. The exhaust is sized for 8” flex hose (or any style of pipe with an 8” ID), used to duct to the
final termination point outdoors.
7.
Caulk the seams of your blower housing (where plastic meets MDF), as well as where the
straight 8” exhaust attaches to the blower housing, using clear silicone caulk. Be sure to
cover all seams.
Sealing the exhaust is very important. If there are any leaks, the unit will blow fine dust
into your shop.
Do not remove the white block of wood mounted to the inside of your
blower housing. This block counters the sound as the impeller blade
passes by the larger opening of the blower housing, reducing noise.
