Overview
Wire duct collar for the Phoenix 250MAX dehumidifier. Phoenix part number 4028593.
The duct collar is the fitting on the machine's outlet that a lay-flat or flexible duct attaches to. Without it you cannot duct the dry-air discharge anywhere.
What the parts list says
Named as item 23 in the Phoenix 250MAX 50 Hz service parts list, Wire Duct Collar, one fitted.
Phoenix list different duct collars for different machines — the R150 parts list names 4026309 and the D385 names 4024078 (5.75" × 12"). They are not interchangeable. Check your machine before ordering.
Why duct the discharge
On a contained drying set-up, ducting the dehumidifier's dry-air discharge is what puts the driest air where the water is, instead of into the middle of the room. It is the difference between a chamber that dries evenly and one where the wet edge takes twice as long.
A damaged or missing collar is the usual reason a technician gives up and runs a machine undirected. It is a cheap part to keep the option open.
Related parts
Phoenix also list a 10 inch × 250 ft lay-flat duct (4024935) and a 16 inch × 25 ft flexible duct (4028357). Neither is currently a stocked CCW line — ask us if you need one.
Fitting advice
Check the collar's fasteners and any gasket while it is off. A collar that is loose on the housing leaks dry air back into the room, which is exactly what you were ducting to avoid.
Do not hang the weight of a long duct run off the collar. Support the duct at the first metre.
