phresh filter screws

[ThaMagnificent]

Just bought a Fernco pvc coupling. Guy at the local hydro store recommended it.

yup, leaving holes or cracks will let out SOOOO much stink,, and you will think your filter isnt working,,,
nice tape job

LOL

I didn't want to take it back down to tape it and I have a flood table underneath with a T5 overhead so I did my best to reach up and around and do it. Oh and I have 2 bad shoulders that need surgery too LOL

Just drill some pilot holes through the filter and fan and run 4 screws in around it and tape it up a little. I tried taping it together, using a clamp, etc. After awhile it just falls apart. Screwing the filter into the fan was an easy permanent fix.

how did you seal the air leaks? after you screwed it?

But how does the tape hold it together if one lip sits inside the other? I can understand the tape if each lip butts up together but my hurricane goes inside the phresh filter lip

I showed a pic of phresh. Use the screws aeroknow said and use metal tape.

Tear small pieces and go around the outside and inside of the opening. I even fold it over the lip of the opening.

I put some tape around the flange of the filter to make a gasket so when I seated the fan into the filter it made a nice seal. Drilled 4 pilot holes around the filter that went through the filter and through the fan. Just use a small metal drill bit. It will go through both. Screwed the filter to the fan and put some tape around that area. Zero leaks. It's the same as trying to secure with tape or a clamp, but just running some screws through also. Makes the filter & fan one solid piece. All mine are like that. Got tired of the fan and filter separating and falling on the plants.

Tape,zero got

Screwing it in itself seals it up pretty good. There is a decent lip between the filter and fan making it easy to seal it up. If you really wanted to, I'm sure you could use some sort of silicone adhesive or even a liquid gasket to make a 100% seal and not need any tape.

What the hell are these little black clips for?

 

[DailyBlastin]

It butts right up to the fan

dude you need to fix the way you have that mounted, zip ties only around the junction box is not smart.. one of these days the junction box is gonna rip off the fan, fans gonna fall, crush poor defenseless plants, and possibly start a fire at the same time.. probly not gonna happen today or tomorrow or even within 5 years, but its a risk non the less, be smart, hang your fan properly.
