Description says it can ventilate multiple areas, does it mean that I just use Y-Sheet metal adaptor (www.amazon.com/dp/B005ISI524) to connect multiple ducts from different locations to the fan inlet? Also, does it come with the grill or need to buy...

Thats what I did and it works fine. Keep in mind though that when you have multiple inlrts, you will not have as much suction as having only one inlet.

The airflow is a nice breeze. However, if you live in a dusty environment, as dust accumulates on the fan blades, the flow will decrease quickly. 2 things I did to increase flow1) Obviously, keep the fan blades clean.2) Remove the front grill. In doing so (along with the blade cleaning), I would say the flow increased by at least 35-40%. The blades are soft, so it is not a very dangerous thing to do.

the grill is plastic, but you can paint it...I would just use a good shellac base primer first so the paint will stick well, and make sure not to plug the holes with paint...this unit really moves some air and you CAN NOT HEAR IT hardly at all unless you listen for it....Best fan I have ever seen or owned!!! I can fee the air getting sucked from under the bath door, where I have about a half an inch of space between the tile floor and bottom of the door.

The duct is designed to allow venting through the roof or the side of the house or any which other place you want to go depending on the venting duct you use to attach to it. If you are not aware of how this supposed to work, please consult an electrician or possibly even a HVAC technician familiar with proper installation and venting through duct work.

I would guess you would have to know the size of the opening in which you want to place it. I have 6 inches above the unit and it is placed in the corner so there is an open clearance behind it. I does get hot and needs to vent when you use the grill/convection features. I love the unit!!

Yes, the large round fitting you see in the picture is the vent to outside. you need to attach a hose, not included, or a piece of duct work from the fan outlet to an outside area.

Yes it uses a 6 " round vent. You need standard metal venting from a hardware/home store to connect it to your existing exhaust duct. Just attach with a couple of metal screws and seal with foil tape.

It would think you need more. I have two vents, one at each end of the house plus soffit vents. I found the fan worked best when I also removed the attic access panel in the garage. That made the fan and louver lift easier.

Yes, it comes with all the accessories for the window vent. It also comes with an extended window piece in case you have newer windows that slide across instead of the traditional up and down. I had it in a 1 BR, so I thought it was pretty loud. All these portable AC units are pretty loud though, but since it's 8,000 BTU's its quieter than a larger unit for sure.

You measure the size of the grill, either inside diameter (duct) or the grill face itself in inches converted to square feet use the ft/min to determine cfm. Some companies use a duct that is modified to fit over the exhaust tubing and convert the exhaust or intake to a circular dimension and then take measurements. Multiple measurements are necessary on a grid pattern, at least 20, which are averaged and taken about 6 inches from the grill face at 90 degrees to the flow. Readings will vary upwards of 10 percent. For accuracy, it is a good practice for one person to measure the flow and the other to write down the data, plus use the averaging method on the instrument itself. The two person rule is a good idea for working off a ladder. The average cost on a call out plus the certified report averages about $1,000, so the anemometer is very handy to check and balance the system prior to having a certified technician do a survey.

it has 2 vent holes. one on bottom and one on top. then it has a few ports for plugs and wires. these ports tie up onto stuff so you could use them for extra air filtration if you wanted.

There is only one air intake - the other end is the exhaust, (you would need a Y adapter if you wanted multiple intakes).

I really don't know...however, I did note that having used it for the entire summer, I found the blades to be remarkably clean...if the grill does not come out, my plan is to take the fan out of the window, bring it into the yard and spray the fan blades with a water hose, let dry for a day or two before plugging it back it...good fan, worked well this past year...24/7 for a couple of months, relatively quiet . I used it on a lower speed setting...

No, I had to purchase an adaptor at HomeDepot, and once fitting it on, it really took up the small vertical space I had to deal with. I gave feedback to GE on this poor design, but received no reply. I actually ended up with an adaptor, then a couple of 6" duct-elbows and put aluminum flex-hose between the two elbows. Not the best approach to use flex, but I was out of options and space!

Comes set up to hook up to the 33# tank. You can get an adapter online to use the !# cannister. It is a great second grill. I keep mine (the second) in the garage for bad weather grilling.

A 4" to 3" is not included with the fan, I bought the reducer separate at Home Depot as part of a dryer vent kit for $13. I was able to use the reducer and it came with an angled piece I needed, so it wasn't a waste of money for me. I believe you can find a reducer in the ABS black plastic if you just need the reducer. I sealed mine with the shiny silver duct seam tape.
