Hi,
I am sorry to say that the 1400 is no longer for sale because we just weren't selling enough of them. If this is in the basement you could use the space inbetween the rafters for the motor and that should give you a little more height. Also you can save some height with a shorter fatter trash can. If your garage is sheetrocked maybe you could cut a square hole and raise that part of the ceiling up? You could also build a small room on the outside of your garage and that would also give you more room and give you noise control at the same time. There's all kind of examples in the gallery. Matt

I have mine under an 87 inch ceiling and the motor is located between two joists. To make it all fit, I have to build a custom dust bin with a door that holds a 16 gallon rubbermaid type container. My dust bin is only about 16 inches high. I did this with a CV 1800

Sorry to hear the CV1400 wasn't selling well. I guess I'm constrained with my configuration, I have a finished garage that is under some bedrooms, I'm not too enthralled with cutting a hole in the ceiling to fit the motor in between the 2x6 floor joists. I won't gain much, considering I need to make things airtight and have a firewall rating to maintain code.
I don't think putting the collector in a room outside the garage will pass muster with SWMBO, for one I'd have to drill a hole through a brick wall, and two it would chew up valuable space on our back porch, not to mention the neighbor's bedroom window a dozen feet away! Soooo, living with my 90" clearance constraint, I guess it boils down to making things as short as possible. I can probably make a shorter dust bin, but the disadvantage there is having to empty it more often. Another idea I have been mulling is to make a large enough top plate to mount the motor with the shaft pointing up *beside* the cyclone, and linking the impeller with the motor shaft using pulleys. That should save a good 10 inches at least! What to do with the two filters? I might have enough clearance to stack them one on top of the other, or perhaps put them side by side? I guess I shoulda found a house with a bigger garage!

Cv1400 ...
arthurs,
Mine also was very difficult with only 84" ceilings. One thing I considered originally was to punch a hole in the concrete floor of my basement. There is at least one example in the gallery (He used a sump). The main problem I had was that the hole has to be either big enough in area to clear the can for emptying it, or I would have needed to make the cyclone free-standing and move the cyclone out of the way to empty the can. Sounds like you have a tough one. Good luck, bababrown
