CAUTION: Make sure that the vent outlet is at least
four feet from any open windows or doors. This is to
make sure fumes do not get back into your building.
Also the fumes can be hazardous to plants within a
few feet.
A CAUTION ABOUT MOUNTING VERTICALLY
If the discharge duct of the vent is mounted pointing up (as
shown on the photograph to the left), water that condenses
in the duct may drop down and rust the motor. We
recommend having a water trap in the bottom of a vertical
duct run to drain off the water before it runs into the motor.
This is not a problem when the vent has been mounted
horizontally. The Multi-Mount bracket will allow you to mount
the motor horizontally as well. You can then use 90 degree
bends or flexible duct to go vertically. Just remember that
there is water in the exhaust that will condense somewhere
as it cools after it discharges from the vent motor.
A special Multi-Mount bracket is available from L&L which will
allow you to mount the vent on the floor or wall with the outlet
of the vent pointing up. This is useful when you want to use an
existing penetration in a wall that won’t support the vent (like a
window) or when you want to have the vent go out of a roof or
into a central vent system.
Step 6. Connect Flexible Duct
Attach blower system to bypass/collection box by stretching
the flexible aluminum duct carefully (it can extend up to
15 feet) and securing to both the blower housing and the
bypass/collection box with the provided hose clamps.
NOTE: You may want to firmly attach this to the Bypass
Collection Box before installing the kiln on the stand
because it can be hard to maneuver under the kiln.
Step 7. Plug In Vent
Plug in the switched cord to a standard 120 volt receptacle.
If need be you can safely use a grounded extension
cord because of the small amperage required. Be sure
to secure cord away from heat of kiln. Note: On 220-240 volt
models this may vary.
ROOM AIR REPLACEMENT
ROOM AIR REPLACEMENT:
The Vent-Sure system moves up to 146 cubic feet of air per
minute. We suggest opening a window slightly, or bringing
another fresh air source into the room, to replace this room
air.
