been told by autoterm that coming striaght off the 4D heater direct to 60mm duct may make it overheat, i should vent off somewhere then reduce to 60. (as i dont think ill be able to fit 90mm duct through to the galley from the cockpit locker due to the small space on my boat)

thought i could go from the heater to the stern cabin via the bulkhead between the locker and cabin, then carry on from a T piece with 60mm to the galley? What fittings should i buy, i cannot find a reducer from 90 to 60 on the website

thanks

Around 1.5 metres of large diameter ducting was enough to prevent my new heater shutting down and giving the overheat code.
Purchased a reducer from eBay to connect to the existing installed ducting .
This then connected to a "T".

You might find a Y connector a better fit. If fitting a vent in the aft cabin, make sure it's adjustable, but do not have an adjustable one in the galley.
