I purchased a 1000CFM and it arrived within a week. Works great!

Did yours come with instructions or tips on how to install? It looks kind of bulky like it wouldn't fit in a wall very well.

Thanks!

No instructions. It's already wired up with a switch, so all you have to do is put it where you want it, add your ducting, plug it in and go.

You can take it to a Metal Fabrication shop and they can build you a hood or box for it for around $50-90, if you want to go that route. Mine is currently just placed in front of my work area and vented out the window, but once I get things situated, I'm going to suspend it from the ceiling. It's about the size of a 19" monitor, if that helps you visualize the size a little better.

Be aware that the large squirrel cage blowers which have a large square opening and then a plate added to reduce outlet to small round opening has it efficiency cut as much as by half that this modification the seller is adding to the fans he sells...

If you are going to attache blower to round duct, the face opening of round duct in square inches needs to be equal to the square opening of fan in square inches.

IF design outlet of fan is 9x9 inches for example that is 81 square inches...The equivalent round duct needs to be at least 10.5 inches in diameter about 85.5 square inches. For fan to operate with in its FACTORY advertised CFM range...
