Is this fan weatherproof, in case of rain while in the window?

You'd have to read the description of item to find out. I don't take the chance. I remove all fans from windows when it starts to rain.

The motors in window fans are rain-resistant, and may safely remain in your window when it's raining. We do suggest removal from the window with heavy storm activity as wind driven rain can blow into the electrical areas of the fan.

I personally wouldn't use this fan outdoors ... I think the beautiful finish and the wood blades would get ruined pretty quickly in the elements, depending on your environment.

No. The instructions make it clear its only to be used indoors. If you mount it in a window, one side would be exposed to rain, dampness etc and would pose a fire hazard.

I do not believe it is weatherproof. It works fine sitting on a dashboard under the window glass...

From the way I interpret the specs is that the fan is suitable for damp locations. I have installed them on a screen porch that is exposed to high humidity. The fans look and work great, and I think that they would look just a good indoors. The fact that they are rated for damp locations does not preclude their installation indoors.

We have some pretty wild rains here and have not experienced that. Love the fan. It would be perfect for the Florida heat.

It is not weatherproof. It may protect from light drizzle. Honestly, mine busted within a few months.

These fans are built to be installed on the exterior of the house in some radon installations. That makes them weather resistant which would work fine for damp locations. However, make sure the vent has a turn outside that prevents rain or snow from falling back down into the motor. These fans push low cfm' s so it may take time to reduce humidity.

Outdoor use is fine only under circumstances where the humidity is very low and the fan is never exposed to rain or moisture. It certainly moves enough air for outdoor use.

No there are no security features to this fan. The pressure from the window holds it in place only.

It can but will probably rust out in a year or so. If you can manage to at least cover the fan itself it will last for 3 to 5 years, or at least it has for me. For full time in weather there are other fans available. Just search online for weatherproof industrial fans. Good luck.

Mine is being used indoors only, and from what i could see during the installation, this is not exactly weather proof. Mine works well, but it is indoors.

Since it is marketed as an outdoor fan I would say probably yes. But we put ours in the shed for the winter and when it is going to rain or storm so it doesn't get blown over or knocked around.

Hi Mark, I have this model installed on my screen porch. Screen on 3 sides. When it rains hard, I can get mist inside the porch, but the fan stays protected at the ceiling level. As long as the fan isn't exposed to direct water contact, I think you would be fine.

I do not know if it is "officially" weatherproof but mine got rained on last September (albeit light rain) and unit was not affected.

Mine is used indoors so I really can't say. The unit itself would not be affected by rain but the plug and outlet the unit is plugged into may be an issue.
