can this be installed with the port facing down? Meaning, we will vent to the crawl space and then outside.

Yes I don't see any reason why it would not work upside down . But remember the craw space still has to get moist warm air out so vent pipe will have to exit building or you will rot the sub flooring or make mold

Makes sense to me. As with any dryer vent, the shorter the duct, the straighter the run, the better the flow. Also, use straight duct and elbows. Better than flex duct.

Yes, the vent tube can go thrue the crawl space to an exit, use metal duct to prevent rodent intrusions, but it should work.

I think that should work. I bought one and installed it with the junction box on the bottom right but there was nothing in the installation process that would make me think it couldn't be done upside down.

As most others, UP is probably the true way to install, but my contractor said it could face downward! I really like it!

it is possible. the standard way to afix it to your vent is with a plastic bar (about 1/2" square) that goes across the opening, horizontally. shafts run from those two little knobs you see in the picture all the way back to the bar and sqweeze the vent to the wall. i did most of mine from the outside.

YES that is how I use it 2 vent my cat box area outside. I mounted it outside just beneath the soffit.

No it does not have to be vented to the outside via a vent. Exhaust works fine within it's self.

you can if you get to the back terminals but the idea is that it's mounted to a secure surface in which you don't have access to the underside. such as through a fiberglass panel, steel plate, auto grill, etc.

Ours is vented outside, but it can be used as a ductless range hood if you prefer.

Yes. It SHOULD / must be vented outside to be effective. The unit contains everything needed to make a correct installation through an exterior (frame) wall. You supply the electric wiring.

I checked with my son who installed our unit and he said he remembers thinking it could be installed from below if necessary. However, we were able to access it through the attic. So while I cannot say definitely, there is a good possibility that you would be able to install it from below.

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.

I wouldn't recommend it unless the area around the crawl space can be well ventilated

I'm not sure about that. If you look Google the K&N; for your vehicle it is different. It could be possible to turn the port side ways but you run the risk of it being too short or not fitting right.

The venting is on the sides but it doesn't come with a setup for direct mounting. I suppose if you were willing to take the case off and manually mount it that it would be possible but it isn't designed as such.

I have it installed in my partial above ground basement in NC. It needs a way to be installed so it can vent outside. One of my neighbors there has it installed in their crawl space.

I can see how it could be installed in a wall. You would have to leave the majority of the unit outside to allow the fan to vent properly.

I sure you can, but I don't think I would risk it. I know that they have a unit designed to bemounted outside and I believe the only differences are the unit is insulated to help ambient moisture to effect the interior electronics, weather protection, and the venting is direct, rather then a B-vent. One thing to keep in mind, a minium water pressure is very important for this unit to operate correctly.
