Thanks Phil -
I appreciate your help on my earlier post.
I look forward to your help re using the alternative inlets on my bendy plywood top hat.
Thank you.

Sorry for the delay. I have visited every major home center chain in the Milwaukee area and can't find what I once saw.
I'm positive that I had seen, at HD, an approx. 5" square section of a sort of ductwork. They came in pieces that were approx. five feet long, and they were over by the downspouts/gutters.
My thought had been to use one of these as the inlet. It would be so easy to intersect this as a side inlet.
I'm trying to get hold of my old neighbor (a contractor) to see if he knows where/what these were, and where to find them now.
