<p>Something like this as a vent attached to the board on the outside and the duct connected to it?</p>
<p>Worth a shot? It will look nice and I can paint it, they have shiny metal ones too:</p>

I just got to thinking you might is a drainage tile perforated en cap on your vent hose. Look at Home Depot for that. $2.46 and in 4", it should fit in your tube and provide a defuser that you can paint the color you want. Just a thought. I would post a picture but don't know how.

<p>Velcro is a good substitute if I don't find any hinges lying around, I think I have a box full of them in the garage though. New ones, I've seen them.....I know I have....now where did I see them? LOL</p>

<p>I was thinking the same thing as Ken - if you are going to build a box, you don't need the housing per se, just adapt the box to perform the same function. Hinges are good - but so is industrial strength velcro - ROFLOL.</p>

<p>Ken, you've given me an idea for sure. Thanks so much! I just knew someone would have a good suggestion that would jar me into thinking. LOL<br/> Open from the top, why didn't I think of that??? I'll even put a hinge on it...yeah. And make a removable shelf in the top part to store "stuff" maybe....</p>

<p>The housing is 5" wide. So I have only 3/4" total to work with for framing.</p>
<p>1/4" plywood would be the only choice, but I wanted to be able to remove the front where the vent is attached if needed. There is just no way to put this back under the couch without a crush job. Those engineers were hot at it when they did that little number. LOL</p>

Oops. Didn't read your comment about it not working. I would say not to use an adapter. Build your box with the vent grate in it. Insulate the box inside. Run the vent hose into the box how ever makes it work. If you have yo make it oval then do that. Duct tape it inside and out so it doesn't fall off and put the lid on. Use the box as your vent adapter.
