Bigjaw Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I have found issues venting in the loft of my new place. I have had my ceiling fixed and am planning on putting 2 x 6 inch core vents through my cavity wall. Attached will be 2 x rhino 6 inch ec fans - 500m3 p/h flow rate. This would be coming out of a wall which is about 5m away from next door, facing a window at the side of their staircase. Obviously no scrimping on filters. Would this be a possible security concern? Any thoughts most appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypig Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I wouldn't worry in the slightest. Make sure you get nice fixed vents and face them down to prevent rain ingress. Any reason for 2 holes? Is it for in-out or 2 seperate tents? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjaw Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 (edited) Hello and thanks for the input. I'm using a 2.4 x 1.2 tent and am planning on using two 6 inch rhino ec fans. I could use a single 6 inch rvk l1 fan - I even have one but I was thinking the exhaust blast would be a touch too strong and too loud given the location. It is exceptionally quite around here! When I'm going I will start a diary. Edited January 30 by Bigjaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Cream Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 How ya going bud! Why two holes thru the wall? I take it you own the property and not renting as you say about drilling thru the walls. Have you a chimney? Or a area you can vent thru the roof ? Or can do what we did to a mates roof bought a lead slate and he got some stainless gas flue so put it up thru there and vent out that . I’d be very very careful venting out your house that faces on to neighbours property’s for sure . If the filter fails your pumping it out opposite there property at least if it’s out a flue on the roof it’s higher to pinpoint and higher it is better taken off in a breeze you may not have at ground level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjaw Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 (edited) Hi bud, thanks for your thoughts. The chimney is 1 flue with a gas fire at the bottom and is built onto the main house structure and it's a very low loft space. so can't even access it even if I wanted too... I have 6 vent tiles in the loft each with a 4 inch tube. I could, split each 6 inch fan with a Y splitter reduce it onto 2 x 4 inch ducting runs then put them up a vent hole - I have enough up there... having said that the core holes will be a lot more freeflowing... I was planning on rhino pro filters changed every 4 cycles, can't see a problem as long as I keep my humidity down. Cheers.

Shogun Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 You need to be on top of your filters with that set up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjaw Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 Yes, my thoughts exactly. Rhino pro filters swapped every four cycles. That would be around every 15 to 16 months and run a dehumidifier above the LED's. That keeps my RH below 70%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, I've used both of those two with good results. I tried an Ox brand filter that was useless, I vent into my loft and as soon as I opened the loft hatch a few hours after I installed it there was a wall of smell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubs Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Some site members were recommending Fox filters. I went and bought one but haven't used it yet. Seems nicely built though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
