Venting a Hot Water Skid

[Chris Tharpe]

I am having a hard time finding a vent cap for a hot water skid. I would like to vent it out the back of a box truck but I am unsure where everyone is getting the metal apparatus at that goes over the coil vent and converts it from a square vent to a round one where some sort of hose can be attached. Any ideas?

Any HVAC or maybe even Plumbing supplier should have them

Oh! He is alive.

Yep, HVAC or find a sheet metal place to custom fabricate one. The openings on our machines are all a standard tin size.

I build ours out of regular square HVAC duct with some tins snips, a cut off tool and rivets. Works awesome. It has a hinged diverter on it that flips back and forth to allow for better flow out the back door. I did a little artwork on this one lol

Looks good greg. I am trying to vent an identical machine so I'll just refer to this pic and get some tin next week. Thanks everyone else as well. I'll check in from time to time.

8 inch vent with no back pressure.......Makes a great hand warmer too
