I have a new CV1800. It is intended for a basement shop, where the joists are 93 inches off the floor. I'd like to squeeze the motor between the joists to get an extra few inches of height. However, the ideal void has a 4" PVC duct for a radon system hugging one side and the electric for the AC unit on the other.
After playing with my tape measure it appears that I can weasel it in there with about 1 inch of clearance from either of these. Even so, I'm thinking this might not be smart with the heat of the system. Moving the electric is no problem, but I'd really rather not reroute the Radon duct if i don't have to.
Thoughts? Are there effective ways of insulating this duct from heat at such close range?
