What is the depth needed to install this directly through an outside wall?

Hi, We have a stuccoed exterior and live in a Tucson suburb; tract house has drywall interior and wall is 6 1/2" thick. Amazon sent (or Panasonic) a sleeve that depth could be extended up to about 10" . The fan is great, located in the kitchen and as our house is an open plan really helps with cooking odors and heat.

ChrisI installed this as a one of some time ago. It was a replacement for an existing fan that was installed when the house was built in the 1940's. I will tell you that it fit perfectly. The wall be and this is a guess about 14 inches.

If you mean the wall depth I put it in an old house, wall depth was just a bit too short so I had to do some adapting to the unit. I would think with todays wall depth of a usual 6" it would be fine.

I installed mine through a single wall (1" thick wood). It has a metal diverter that changes the outflow from outward to downward and the diverter also has a flap in it to keep outside air from coming in, but since the "outside" for me was protected from weather, and I wanted outside air to come in even when the fan was not in use, I didnʻt use the diverter. I just mounted the fan in the wall (after making an 8 inch or so hole in the wall). To keep bugs, etc outside I built a square frame around the outside hole with 2x4 wood, and made a small window screen covering for it. Worked out well. The fan is so quiet I have to look at it to see if its on. I installed mine through a single wall (1" thick wood).

The way the unit comes it can be mounted to a wall between 4.5" - 10". If your application requires a longer length than 10" the instructions explain how to add a length of duct to meet any wall thickness or run you may require.

You can access the installation manual online that will give you the range of wall widths the fan will accomdate.

I was conservative when measuring and came up with 14 1/2 x 10 3/8". It is 5/8" total exterior depth.

All the answers below are correct. You have 7-8" of depth between outer and inner ring. I tapped mine into the outside wall and it supports about 150 feet of hose.

depends on how thick the wall is. There are vents on the side that you don't want inside the wall. You'd need to talk to a carpenter/contractor about that. You have at most 8" of depth to work with between the face and the vents.

In the description it says it is safe for outdoor installation, we never installed it outside. The base shown in the image has screw holes in it and is what you would use to mount it outside. It comes with screws to be able to mount it to a wall or some type of support.

It goes through the outside wall and is secured to 2"x4" framework around it !

I don't remember the dimensions; however, the depth needed is only the thickness of the surrounding wall tile.

Its been a while since I installed two of these, but I know I had to go through the interior drywall, the wall and wood siding on the exterior.....and had to cut the pipe shorter so it would not stick out too far on the inside. It is at LEAST 12 inches long.Added text: I would also say I had the same concerns BECAUSE I had a thick wall (with the wood siding), and it was too long....so I cut it down. It will definitely be long enough for any standard exterior wall size.

My cat door, installed, is about 4-3/8" deep total. It protrudes from the wall about 1.25" on both the outside and the inside. The remaining 1.875" is the depth of my wall. As I recall there was a lot of room for variance in the depth of the wall. According to the Sureflap website dimensions the tunnel thickness is 3/16", so that might be the minimum wall thickness.

I installed mine in the wall. Just be sure to flash and weatherproof it adequately.

yes that will work... it comes with a piece of material to fill the gap between the interior/exterior sections if the door is too thick. realistically, if you can fabricate a spacer of appropriate width, there is no limit to the thickness of whatever install you have. It is entirely possible to install it through a wall, cinderblock fence, etc.

About 2 inches if wall is not too thick. Important to have top and side ventilation louvers all clear to the outside so the depth can change.

about 4" from wall to outside edge of tubes, however I am not a professional so please seek additional opinions.

I specifically chose this because the wall I needed to mount this in used 2 1/2" studs, not 3 5/8". I do not know the exact depth as it is already installed. But I can say that from the back of the front plate to the back of the unit, it is no more than 3 1/8" deep, so a total of 3" depth could be quite accurate.

My son installed his easily into a 6" PVC pipe- he says the depth is probably 4-5 inches. Hope this helps.

My husband bought a longer section of double wall pipe to pass thru wall, I think a 3 ft, instead of the 12" that comes with kit. Some additional blocking and support on outside. Everything is solid after a long Alaskan winter. Good luck

Hello. I cannot tell you in exact inches or centimeters because mine is already installed. I can tell you that it seemed very shallow, maybe 6 inches.
