Anden Duct Kit, A210V1

The Anden Model 5790 Round Duct Kit is the factory-designed ducting solution for the Anden A210V1 dehumidifier. It enables remote installation — positioning the dehumidifier outside the grow room while routing conditioned air in and returning humid air out through dedicated 12" round duct connections. The kit includes galvanized steel inlet and outlet transitions, with the inlet transition featuring a filter access door for routine maintenance without duct disconnection.

Why Choose the Anden Duct Kit A210V1

Grow room environments demand precise humidity control, but mounting a dehumidifier inside a canopy can disrupt airflow, create heat pockets, and make service access difficult. The Model 5790 kit is the manufacturer-designed answer for installations where the A210V1 sits in an adjacent mechanical space or hallway and connects to the room by duct.

• Factory fit for the A210V1: The inlet and outlet collars are dimensioned specifically for the A210V1’s port geometry. There is no adapting or shimming required — the transitions seat against the unit as Anden intended.
• 12" round duct connections: Both the inlet and outlet use 12" round collars. This matches standard commercial HVAC duct stock, making it straightforward to source flexible or rigid duct runs from HVAC suppliers without special-order fittings.
• Filter access door on the inlet: The inlet transition includes a built-in access door. This lets you inspect or replace the intake filter without removing or disconnecting the duct, which is a meaningful time saving in regular-maintenance cycles.
• Galvanized steel construction: Galvanized steel holds up in the high-humidity, airborne-particulate conditions typical of indoor grow facilities. It resists rust and corrosion better than painted mild steel, which matters when the duct sees saturated return air from the grow space.
• Remote-mount flexibility: By ducting the A210V1 outside the room, you free up floor or overhead space inside the canopy, reduce noise inside the grow, and simplify maintenance access to the unit itself — without giving up any dehumidification capacity.

Best Uses for the Anden Duct Kit A210V1

This kit is purpose-built for one application: ducted installation of the Anden A210V1 dehumidifier where the unit lives outside the grow environment. The following scenarios describe where it makes the most practical sense.

• Mechanical room or hallway installations: Facilities that have a dedicated mechanical room or utility hallway adjacent to the grow can house the A210V1 there and run 12" round duct through the wall. The Model 5790 kit provides the transitions needed at both the unit and room penetration.
• Multi-room cultivation facilities: In larger operations where one or more A210V1 units serve separate rooms from a central mechanical space, this kit is the connection point between the unit and each room’s duct run. The galvanized steel construction holds up under continuous use.
• Noise-sensitive grow rooms: When cultivators need to reduce in-room noise from the dehumidifier’s compressor and fan, mounting the unit outside and ducting with the Model 5790 transitions keeps the mechanical sound out of the canopy area.
• Tight canopy environments: Dense canopy layouts leave little room for floor-standing equipment. Ducting the A210V1 through the wall frees up the floor space inside the room and eliminates the need to route around the unit during plant care and harvest.
• Facilities requiring filter access during operation: The inlet access door on the Model 5790 is specifically useful in facilities with high particulate loads (pollen, coco, peat dust) where intake filters need frequent inspection without pulling the unit out of service.

Anden Duct Kit A210V1 vs Similar Duct Kits

Anden produces model-specific duct kits for several dehumidifiers in their lineup, and each kit is sized to match the duct collar geometry of its corresponding unit. The Model 5790 is designed exclusively for the A210V1 and uses 12" round collars on both the inlet and outlet.

Other Anden duct kits, such as those for the A70 or A100 series, use smaller collar diameters suited to those units’ lower airflow capacities. Attempting to use a smaller kit with the A210V1 would create a significant restriction at the duct connection and reduce the unit’s effective performance. The same applies in reverse — using a larger-capacity kit on a smaller unit introduces turbulence and fitting gaps.

If you are working with a different Anden dehumidifier model, verify that the duct kit part number matches your unit’s model number before ordering. Anden’s model-specific kit system means there is no universal adapter intended to span multiple units. For grow rooms where humidity control pairs with air filtration, a quality pre-filter on the intake duct can extend filter service intervals by capturing coarse particulates before they reach the unit.

Compatibility

The Anden Model 5790 Round Duct Kit is compatible with one dehumidifier: the Anden A210V1. This is a model-specific kit — the duct collar sizing and transition geometry are matched to that unit’s ports.

Duct connection: The kit uses 12" round duct collars on both the inlet and outlet. This is compatible with standard 12" round flexible duct or rigid galvanized duct typically available from HVAC supply houses. No reducer or increaser is needed when connecting to 12" duct stock.

Installation environment: Galvanized steel construction is appropriate for indoor, climate-controlled mechanical spaces. The kit is not rated for outdoor exposure. Install in a dry mechanical room, utility corridor, or adjacent space where the A210V1 can be serviced and where condensate can be managed. For facilities that need to handle condensate drainage, a condensate pump can assist in routing drain water when gravity drainage is not available at the installation location.

Not compatible with: Other Anden dehumidifier models (A70, A95, A100, A55, etc.) or dehumidifiers from other manufacturers. Each model in Anden’s lineup has its own duct kit with geometry matched to that unit.

Usage Guidelines

The Model 5790 kit converts the A210V1 from a standalone floor unit into a ducted system. The dehumidifier draws humid room air in through the inlet duct and returns conditioned, drier air through the outlet duct. Understanding the airflow direction is essential before installation.

• Inlet duct (return air): The inlet transition pulls humid air from the grow room into the dehumidifier. This is the duct run that sees the highest humidity and particulate load. The filter access door on the inlet transition allows you to check and replace the intake filter on a regular schedule without dismantling the duct connection.
• Outlet duct (supply air): The outlet transition returns the drier, processed air back into the grow room. Position the outlet duct termination to promote even air distribution across the canopy — avoid discharging directly onto sensitive plant tissue from close range.
• Duct run length and static pressure: Longer duct runs and additional elbows increase static pressure on the A210V1’s fan. Keep duct runs as short and straight as practical. Consult Anden’s A210V1 documentation for the unit’s maximum static pressure rating before designing long or complex duct paths.
• Filter maintenance: Check the inlet filter at regular intervals based on the particulate load in your facility. In dusty environments (coco, perlite, peat dust), inspect monthly or more frequently. A clogged intake filter will reduce airflow through the unit and degrade dehumidification performance.
• Condensate management: When the A210V1 is remotely mounted and ducted, ensure the condensate drain line from the unit can route to a floor drain or collection point at the unit’s installation location — not inside the grow room.

How to Install the Anden Duct Kit A210V1

Installation requires the A210V1 to be positioned in its final remote-mount location before attaching the duct transitions. All duct work should be planned and measured before beginning. The following steps reflect the general procedure based on the kit’s components and function as described in Anden’s product documentation.

1. Position the A210V1 in its remote location. Place the dehumidifier in the mechanical room, hallway, or adjacent space where it will operate. Confirm there is clear access to the unit’s inlet and outlet ports, and that the condensate drain can reach a floor drain or collection vessel.
2. Plan the duct runs. Measure the distance from the A210V1’s ports to the grow room wall penetrations for both the inlet and outlet. Minimize the number of elbows and keep duct runs as short as practical to limit static pressure losses.
3. Attach the inlet transition to the A210V1’s inlet port. Fit the inlet duct transition (the piece with the filter access door) to the designated inlet port on the unit. Secure with sheet metal screws or appropriate fasteners per Anden’s installation guide. Verify the filter access door is accessible after installation.
4. Attach the outlet transition to the A210V1’s outlet port. Fit the outlet duct transition to the unit’s outlet port. Secure in the same manner as the inlet transition.
5. Connect 12" round duct to each transition collar. Run 12" round duct (flexible or rigid) from each transition collar to the grow room wall penetrations. Use duct clamps or sheet metal screws at each connection point. Seal joints with UL-listed foil tape to prevent air leakage.
6. Terminate the duct runs inside the grow room. Route the outlet duct to a distribution point that promotes even airflow across the canopy. Route the inlet duct to a location that draws return air from the room without short-circuiting the supply air directly back into the intake.
7. Install or verify inlet filter. Before starting the unit, confirm that a compatible inlet filter is seated in the filter housing behind the access door on the inlet transition.
8. Power on and verify operation. Start the A210V1 and verify that airflow is present at both the inlet (drawing room air in) and the outlet (supplying conditioned air to the room). Check all duct connections for air leaks and seal any gaps found.
