fog machine pipes

[itsonery]

i want to purchase a fog machine, that i can use pipes to split to different sections of the room. anyone know which kind of pipes i can use to separate the flow of the fog. pvc? or metal pipes? or can i use plastic hoses and what size. any kind of information would be helpful, thanks in advance......ry

i've seen the streatchy black pipe used before


but, it was coming out of a fog cooler

It is hard to use pipes on a hot fogger, the fluid will condensate back to a liquid in there and you will have a mess... The cold foggers do this very well... Best bet would be some of those quiet turbine fans..

a computer fan, maybe?

No like a carpet drying fan... has a flat output and it sits ont he ground, sucks the fog in on the side an blows it tot he other side of the room, the problem with the pipe it if you attach it directly to the fogger it is so hot when it comes out, it immediately turns back into a liquid, if you put a fan right there is can suck it through after it cools off..

i've seen it done with something like vacuum cleaner hose, like everyone said it tends to condense quick, your probably better off getting a second small fogger as they're relatively cheap now. If you were to use hosing make sure the fogger is fairly high up and there's an immediate drop from the fogger otherwise fluid that condenses will run back into the front of the fogger.

Well, you know Martin has a..... Just kidding Designer, I had to get that in there...

Like the idea of refrigerated fog, I saw Antari's version of this while I was out with our club manager buying some stuff. If you dont put any fluid in it, it just blows out refrigerated air, it was like standing in front of a small air-con unit.

I'm wondering that if those low foggers are designed to put fog down on the floor would it create a fog "wall" flowing down if the machine was truss mounted. That could give a really different effect.
