DUCTING FOG
It is often desirable to duct fog from the machine to another location. This can be accomplished using
flexible hose (“dryer hose”) or similar large diameter ducting such as 4in (100mm) PVC. Avoid sharp
bends in the duct, which can create turbulence or back flow.
The duct should be positioned no closer than 2in (50mm) to the nozzle. An open airflow between the
nozzle and opening of the duct is crucial to allow for aerosolization and create proper airflow. Placing
ductwork or tubing directly over the nozzle or nozzle guard will cause damage to the machine and will
void the warranty. Take all precautions to avoid fire hazards as the nozzle is extremely hot.
In some instances, it is desirable to use a fan to accelerate the fog through the ductwork. Never run fog
through the blades of a fan as the action of the impeller will cause condensation of fluid particles. To
properly use a fan, create a vent in the ducting system such as a “branched wye” and introduce a fan at
the vent point. This will create a low pressure point that “pulls or pushes” the fog through the ductwork.
