My 6inch filter won’t fit into my 6inch fan haha?

[ramborfc]

Honestly been through so many Fans but this 6inch ruk fan doesn’t seem to fit into the filter I’ve attached pictures but it honestly doesn’t fit at all it’s like 1 cm To small haha, anyone else had this problem with the 6inch ruck fans around 700m3 and the small 6 inch filters.

*will attached full length picture when home

I think you have the carbon filter flange on upside down.

Either that or he doesnt have the flange at all. Some people dont realize a lot of filters you buy the flange separately.

I have had some fan/filter combos that literally didnt fit together. You have to use a rubber coupling with worm clamps or figure something else out in those situations.

Just put a small vent between the fan and filter problem solved..

Blue painters tape

For the love of god do not use painters tape for any of your duct work. I have seen so many grows lost because their "tape joint" failed somewhere in the duct work.

Surely some seal is better than none if the grower doesn’t want the sticky duct tape residue? The OP has 1/8th of an inch of an issue. Id think a quick peal tape would be ideal until the fitting arrives in the mail

 

[JCGreen81]

I assume he’s ordering the correct filter at least

Get a bigger hammer!

 

[coreywebster]

The flange if its the right way up should have the same external diameter as the fan and isn't supposed to fit inside it.
Duct or a collar is needed. Assuming the flange can be unscrewed and put on properly.

 

[Kassiopeija]

duct tape to help fixing the connector/joiner until the hose clamps sit tight

I've found this works really well with no sticky residue.
2" 3M Vinyl Tape.
Great for fans/filters/hoods and ducting.
Even comes in nifty colors...

Just connect them with a bit of ducting and use silver insulation tape. Gets an airtight seal no worries. £5 on Amazon

Any filter can be made to fit.

Make sure it is securely connected, do not trust tape to hold critical equipment together.

I always just cut a 2 inch piece of 6 inch galvanized snap seam duct and make my own collar. All mine are 12 inch though so I use 12 inch duct.

I have to run two of the 12x48 Phat filters in each flowering room as scrubbers. I have another one in the veg room and one in the drying room. I was super impressed with Phat filters, I figured they wouldn't last this long but after 7 years of running they still work.

This.

My filter outlet and fan inlet are exactly the same size, but neither is exactly round - bad & badder.
Solution - 12" straight duct, insulation tape, and two worm gear hose clamps.
The fan rpms dropped the whole time I tightened the last hose clamp - NOW I have a good seal through the filter!
