Fan/filler setup

[hero4u2b]

Hi everyone.. In planning out my flower room..I was wondering. The inline fan as well as the carbon filter that I recieved from HTG are fairly heavy. like 15 lbs I would guess.. maybe 20.. my question is I will be drilling into drywall and drilling into metal studs. The bracket that came with the fan seems fine but didnt I read that most use bungie cords as to eliminate noise? I also read that HL seems to like using the pro grip hangers instead of the yo-yos.. I have read that yo yos are a pain in the butt.. So I guess I just drill into the metal studs using sheet metal screws right? trying to avoid unecessary wholes in the closet cieling and walls.. Thanks everyone Hero

I have a piece of 1x8 attached to my ceiling that runs the length of my flowering room to mount things to. However, holes in drywall are fairly easy to repair, especially small ones.

Mount 2 L brackets on the wall and just sit the filter on them, Rosebud has a pic of it in her room awhile back, thought it was a good idea.

Here it is, surprised i found it that fast considering Rosebuds journals are 70,000 pages long. LOL

hope you dont mind me borrowing your pic to help Hero Rose, but i thought it was a good idea.

Get "self tapping" drywall screws from Agent Orange (Home Depot) or similar type store, they are made specifically for metal studs. :aok:

we really like the rope ratchetes from HTG.

found some rope rachets at Home depot.. $12.00 each. the larger ones thou like 1/4 inch ropes or w/e, u would call them.. I went crazy trying to find the metal studs on the cieling of my closet.. There is pop corn on the drywall.. Only room in my place that wasnt redone and marking and finding them was driving me mad.. Finally I took a small whole saw and made a small whole. large enough so I could fit my hand up in there to feel for the studs and realized they were running the oppisite way than what I was thinking, Finally I gave up for the day but will be back at it in the morning.. Lil projects like that can drive me so crazy.. I am not starting up till the end of October so I got time.. Thanks everyone for the help. Hero
