I thought that i would post a few pictures of my DIY inline fan.
I started out with a Comair Rotron Major DC.
This fan is 12V DC and runs at 1.8 amps. It is rated at 300cfm and is a very strong but efficient fan. I got 2 of these online for $30. They normally sell for like $100, but if you look around you should be able to find something similar for cheap.
Basically I took the fan and mounted it to a 6" duct adaptor, the ones with the little tabs, by bending the tabs around the outside of the fan.
Next I took some aluminum tape and taped all around the tabs to secure them in place around the fan.
Because my ducting is 4" in my grow room, I next added a 6" - 4" duct reducer to the end of the the 6" duct adaptor. This is again sealed very well with aluminum tape.
Now it is ready to be connected to my cool tubes.
I will try to get some better pics up soon as these are very bad pics, I know
