I purchased but found that one of my vents has a fan. How can I mount it. I cannot get to the mounting walls. I am new at this so any help would be greatly appreciated

HacksawThere is no reason to access walls.... mounting hardware is installed from the outside oof the vent. The only thing I can see that may be a problem in the installation of the 4 outside clips, is the self taping screws don't interfere with the fan blades.If that becomes a problem, get new shorter screws.My air vent has been problem free and the trailer drip dry.

If the vent is the standard 14" x14" vent, a fan does not make a difference. I have installed the Maxxair vent cover on two vents with fans. The Maxxair is designed for the standard 14X14" vents. The Maxxair connectors are mounted to the vent sides; a fan would not, or should not get in the way. The holes are drilled from the outside, on top of the roof.

When I installed my vent, I removed the fan blade (easy to do). Probably not necessary, but I was doing it alone. It seemed to make it easier to line up and mark for the mounting brackets.Everything is still drilled from the outside. In my case, the vent does not quite clear the garage door, so I used wing nuts instead of the standard nuts included, for easy removal.Good luck

I have not installed the fan as yet. I did purchase a flush mount and light kit for it. We have not got to that part of the remodel yet.

I looked at the base and there are 4 "holes" in the base that could be used to mount the fan, but there is no true wall mount bracket. Hope that helps. We love these fans.

Actually, the vents might be on the side. I don't recall exactly. But you should be able to see the fan blades through said vents. I'll bet they're no longer turning.

I was actually wondering how to clean the fans inside as well. I can't figure out how to get the grills off. I can't even find the user manual online...not sure where box is. And I am not sure what the 800 # is to call.

The base is fixed...no holes...that's a new one on me...mount a fan to a wall...why? If the base was mounted to a wall the fan would blow straight down????????????????

This didn't apply to me. I built a small hobby paint spray booth and mounted the exhaust fan directly to the wall for direct venting into a crawl space above some eave vents. Input is open with some baffles in front to have consistent airflow across the paint booth.

Look farther down on the product page Amazon has for this item. It shows the accessories you need to mount this. If you look at the top of this mount you will see a hole with threads. That is where a pipe will screw into and hold the mount. You can buy pipe at the hardware store, but the stuff made specifically for this usually works much better since it's nicely finished with black paint and usually has a cut out to run your wires.Now, it seems you could just screw this mount directly to the ceiling like a flush mount ceiling fan, but I can't vouch for how well that would allow you to aim this correctly to your screen.

You have to figure out how far from your ceiling you want the fan mounted. If it's a high ceiling get a longer down rod if it's regulsr height the ones with the fan should be OK.

You will need a hole somewhere to allow vented air to flow through, either on opposite wall or could be on same wall but not too close to the vent. The vent installs by removing one block -- or close to it - you have to remove enough to allow the fan and controls to fit through.

Don't force it out or you will break your vent. If you still have trouble, I will figure out a way to take and post a picture of the back of the thing.

We had someone install the fan for us, so I can't answer you exactly. I do know they thought they were going to need to install certain vents but then were able to use the vents that were already there (which were the original vents of the house that was built in the 70s).The fan works great!

I used the adhesive disk from the mount that came with the unit Make sure it's in the right spot, it won't come off I ended up using. The vent mount Works great

No problem at all. I think the problem with the other customer was installation. Make sure you follow the directions. It's a good quality fan, you won't be disappointed.

I could not find anything in the instructions that mentioned a flush mount or how to mount the unit flush (against the ceiling) so I used the shortest drop rod.My ceiling height in the small bedroom I installed this unit in would not allow me to use the light kit as I would be bumping my head into it as it would hang too low.The ceiling fan works great without the light kit and looks very nice, but I would have preferred a light that I could have used. Also instructions for installing the fan without the light are not in the supplied instructions, you must get them online, which I found irritating. It's very simple, but it should be included on the instruction sheet.

I had the exact same problem. I don't know why or how the fan cover cannot be removed. I'm guessing I should of emailed the company. Mine ended up breaking and I bought a different brand. Sorry

It mounts to the lip of the vent. You drill holes in the lip to mount the vent cover with L brackets and screw the cover to the L brackets. Hope this helps.
