Simple System Sucks Exhaust Out Of Shop FARM SHOP Maintenance “I installed an in-floor exhaust removal system in my farm shop that makes it easy to work on vehicles in the shop without choking to death from fumes ” says Michael LeFevre White Cloud Mich
“I ran a network of connected 4-in dia pvc pipes under the floor with 2 ports in the floor in each of my shop’s 3 work bays They all run to an outlet in the utility room where a boiler draft fan powered by a 1 1/2 hp electric motor pulls exhaust through the pipes and then pumps it outside through the wall There’s a 4-in tee joint below the floor under the fan so any moisture drains into the sand below The whole system is pretty much laid out like a floor drain system which I also installed In fact between the exhaust and floor drain systems I’ve got more than 200 ft of 4-in dia pvc under the shop floor
“There’s a metal cap over each port in the floor when it’s not being used For some vehicles where the exhaust outlet is close to the floor I can just park over a floor port and it will suck the exhaust down without a hose For bigger machines we have various lengths of hose available ”
