fcriscuo Posted March 14 Posted March 14 (edited) My current spray booth is one of the generic Amazon booths with a small PC fan and a 4 ft plastic exhaust hose. I have it on a cart which I wheel outside of my garage to paint. This is somewhat inconvenient and I'd like to upgrade to a Pace spray booth placed in a fixed location in my garage. Unfortunately, the best location for me would require a flexible exhaust hose about 15 feet long to attach to an existing exterior wall vent. This routing would also require four (4) 90 degree bends. The Pace unit I am considering is rated at 148 cfm. I'm concerned that this length and routing would not prove to be an effective exhaust solution. I'd prefer to avoid the interior venting solutions (eg sealed buckets) posted on YouTube. I'd appreciate getting some feedback about this design. Thanks in advance. Update: Please ignore my request. Pace's Web page specifies a maximum duct length of 15 ft. Edited March 15 by fcriscuo Update content
NOBLNG Posted March 15 Posted March 15 Use metal pipe instead of flexible ducting and you will have far less restriction.
dragstk Posted March 16 Posted March 16 I agree with Greg. I have one of those $100.00 Amazon spray booths. My window is about 5ft from my booth. I replaced about 4ft with metal piping. Made quite the difference 1
mcs1056 Posted March 17 Posted March 17 You could use a boat bilge vent fan. These inline units are designed to vent possible gasoline fumes, so they are safe. Despite being for boats, theyaren't that expensive ($35.00?). They do run on 12VDC, so you would need to adapt to that, or use a car or motorcycle battery for it.
ksnow Posted March 17 Posted March 17 You can get 12v power supplies for the bilge fans that plug into a 120v outlet. Most fans pull air much better than push. Mount the fan near the exit of the duct, instead of at the booth.
