We need to add some additional venting in the kiln room. Currently there=

is a=3D20
wall mounted double vent system. We need an exhaust fan for the room=3D20
itself, one not attached to any of the kilns. There is only one exhaust =

point=3D20
through the concrete exterior wall; currently it=3D92s a 4=3D92 galvanized =

connected to the existing vent. I've been told that if we tie in anothe=

r vent=3D20
to the existing ducting (even ten feet above the blower, close to the exh=

aust=3D20
point) it will create some sort of affect on the venting of the kilns. =

Room size=3D20
is about 10 x 10 with 8 high ceiling., the current ducting has a straight=

through the ceiling, up about eight more feet and exits through the concr=

wall. We can put more holes through the ceiling of the kiln room, but no=

through the exterior concrete wall. Does anyone know how we can do this?=
