The Vortex Powerfans VTX400C inline blowers, for 4 in diameter duct, are ideal to solve the problems caused by long duct runs on clothes dryers. In a clothing dryer application, the VTX400C is supplied with a current sensor that detects when the dryer is turned on to automatically activate the fan. The current sensor is available either with or without a five-minute turn off time delay.

VTX400 Design features:

• Supplied with mounting bracket for easy installation.
• Suitable for airstream temperatures up to 140°F.
• Aerodynamic design allowing more airflow.
• Heavy gauge steel casing with a hammertone powdercoat finish, making it more sound absorbing, durable, impact resistant and rustproof.
• High quality maintenance-free balanced motor, making it vibration free, quieter and longer-lasting.
• Extended collar and lip, allowing easy duct hook-up.
• Optional speed control easing airflow adjustment, allowing better balancing of the ventilation system.
•  198 CFM
