Hi folks,
I have a 170 cfm 4 inch exhaust fan and am thinking about buying a corresponding carbon filter. I'm wondering, how heavy would such a filter be? Is it possible to just clamp it to the duct that hangs from my fan and have the metal ducting support the weight of the filter? I'm sure I could rig up a support for it, but the advantage of having it hanging is that all the surface area is free to intake air. Anybody tried free hanging a carbon filter from flexible metal ducting? Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
