Looking to set up second tent will be using 6 inch fans. Can i add a y connecter to my exhaust going outside or will they exhaust into each tent. If i install a backdraft damper in each line would a fan going at higher speed reduce exhaust from other tent. Any advice would be helpful Thanks

So two fans with a duct each one connecting to the Y then out?

Yeah itl work, you want to go up a duct size so there's less restriction.
Both fans need to be on at same time.

At times I've had three fans ,4inch, 4inch and a 6inch going into 8inch duct then out the chimney.
Probably would of been better with a 10inch duct but never had any issues.

Each fan would have own duct connecting y connecter right at exhaust point to outside.
Did you actually set your exhaust up the way you were describing? If so, how is it working for you?

For that matter, is there anyone else out there that uses a setup like this successfully?
