that fan ......u got issues with it matching what is on the market.......u are going to need to make your own (metal working skills are needed)
see everything on the market it made for inline fans or booster fans
inline fan booster fan
they both already have a lip/ circumference to match to ducting/ carbon scrubbers

that fan u have now would make a good intake fan but as for exhaust now so much with out building a carbon filter
i got no exp with building one but i know a trick they will work for a short time

they sell active carbon mats for filtering fish tank water u can take that cut a piece to fit over the back the fan and use that to lower the smell amount (with the fan always on 1 week is best u get they that mat over the fan is crap)

if u do build it u need alot more active carbon then what those mats hold so not not think of rolling that up and encasing it (it would work as for a screen)

side note
fan made in iran ......u got some big balls more power to yah and keep going share the happiness

Thanks for the info man.
Very helpful
Are you sure i cant get any carbon scrubber that fits this fan ?
If not i have to get another fan.
I dont think a sellfamde scrubber will be able to clean the whole smell since i have 15 plants

Do u know anyone who used this?
How much of the smell can it clean?

lol this is what i would do i would get some cardboard take screen off trace the fan screen once done you either make a attachment that will screw onto your fan and from there having it enclosed make a 6 " or what ever fitting so you can attach a normal scrubber to
or take it back and purchase a proper fan that will take a scrubber
manyways make a box make a hole place scrubber in there seal it

odds are no u will not find one that will work for that fan sorry
when u get a new fan make sure it is ducting friendly (has that little lip in 6/8/10 inches) ........then u just need to match the carbon filter CFM rating to the fan and ducting size ......i 15 plants 8 inch ducting for a 700 cfm rating

like i said they are good for about 1 week then u can notice the smell again

you can buy carbon sheets for air freshoners from building supply stores, fold or cut the sheets to fit a wood frame, make the frame to fit the side of your fan or the side of your grow space that the fan blows thru,, BINGO

AGREE,, the sheets work well, but have plenty on hand, and make your frame that holds the sheets accessable and easy to change them,,
