yea i'll probably house the squirrel cage inside a larger wooden box. this way i can run an 8" or 6" insulated ducting from my grow box into the side of the fan. not going to put in the same room as my grow box, like you said it will probably be to loud. also building the box will allow me to insulate for sound along with the insulated ducting. muffler if things are still too loud. cool thing this should work nice.
swisha Reviewed by swisha on . squirrel cage fans anyone here currently using a squirrel cage fan as a exhaust fan? yea i know a inline fan is much better, but in my case the fan is free. i recently installed a new furnace and looking at the old unit i noted a fairly new squirrel cage fan in there so i ripped it out for use another day. not sure the cfm's but i do know it was a 125,000btu furnace, and a nice sized fan about 18in tall and atleast 12in wide. fan also has a hi/lo feature. fired that sucker up and it does move some air.
