Stay away from glass, it’s unpredictable. Go to hardware store and look thru their pipe for some that’s big enough. They should have ends and threaded fittings to fit your bike pump. The first time you pressurize it fill it with water and take it up to 1.5x the pressure you want to use. If the pipe ruptures you’ll only have a small volume of compressed air in it so it’ll just spray water around. Small bang not a big one.

I was intending to use a valve and pump from a bike wheel. Thats what they did in the tutorial and it seems like it should work fine since the pressure shouls be fairly low.

And also as that should hopefully clear up im not trying to make a vaccuum, im trying to add pressure.

I heard Panasonic ones are more expensive. Tomorrow I'm getting an 100CFM inline duct fan and grille and try it out first. I have recently moved a thermostat across a few studs, but I haven't added switch + fixture before. I watched a video yesterday and will watch again and take notes so I don't mess up the electric.

When you install a pre-hung door, you move the jamb in and out to meet the door when closed. Cut the nails behind the jamb at the top and on the strike side, close the door and move the jamb to the door. Make note of where the jamb is in relation to the rough opening, check the reveal, shim tight at the end of the top jamb and use one nail in the strike side jamb near the top. Close the door and check. The one nail will bend if you need to adjust. Put in a second nail and check again and so on. Don't skimp on the shims.

It looks like Panasonic has a 80-100cfm fan or fan/light that’s 3 3/8 deep. Really good exhaust fans but if you’re going to wire one in you need a good grasp on electrical. 120v constant hot gets fed into the fan, low voltage switch loop to the switch on all the ones I’ve used.

Worst case if you have a firm 3” restriction you could fir down the opening with some s4s trim.

Such is why trim exists. I framed a new partition wall, perfectly level and plumb down to 1/32nd of an inch and the door still wasn't fitting perfectly. I spent so much time trying to ensure that wouldn't happen and it still did.

If you have a long straight edge, check to see if the new door is warped. It might just be bent.

Also check the usual culprits; where you mounted the hinges, knob, and reciever. Also check for any obstructions that are causing it to veer outward.

Its not a big deal though. Once youve put trim around the frame youll barely notice it anyways.
