I have 2 1000w vented hoods, 6 inch. My carbon filter and blower is 4 inch so I have reducers(?) on each end of both my lights. I need to drop about 10 degrees, so I picked up 6 inch insulated ducting.
2 questions
1) If i replace my existing ducting with the insulated ducting (4 inch to 6 inch) is there going to be any problem since my blower and carbon filter is 4 inch? Seems like id lose some push in my mind.
2) Is there any issue with just running my existing 4 inch ducting through the 6 inch insulated ducting? This would make it easier to work with, since the existing ducting will hold a shape far better, and I wouldnt have to worry so much about "sharp turns" in the ducting. The only thing that keeps me from this is that I think hot air leaking from the 4 inch duct would just be chilling in the insulated duct, which would not have much airflow itself (all the air would be going thru the 4 inch duct inside the insulated duct.
thoughts?
