On The Exhaust Outlet, Can You Attach an extention ? ( such as a Steel flexable Pipe? ) I'm Planning to install it indoors ( Work Shop) To vent Out.

Do not see any problem, you will have to put a heat protection at the point where you go through the wall. may need to check with building code requirements for that.

Generators are not designed to be run indoors, period. If you plan on doing so, please take out a life insurance policy and make me a beneficiary.

I do not reccommend running this unit indoors for any reason. Even running on propane. The propane tank needs to be outside. If anything bad (i.e. explosions, fire, carbon monoxide or dioxide poisoning, or death) happens, your insurance company and lawyers will be looking at you and your judgement. This unit is designed to run outside (see your owner's manual).

I am actually planning on doing the same with mine. I figure with a little imagination you could rig it up. I'm gona try to put into utility room and put a Y on my dryer vent hose and run the dryer and generator both out of the dryer vent. So my wife won't have to go outside in bad conditions to crank generator. I plan on only running mine on propane anyway unless I have to use gas so I don't gum up carb.

I doubt it. There is not enough of a thimble coming out of the muffler to which you could attach something.

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!

Only if there is a place for the exhaust (crawl space or attic might be possible)

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.

It's a window unit. Exhaust side needs to be properly ventilated to the outside.

In my opinion - MAYBE. It comes with a four-piece hard plastic, sort of "vent stack" with top connection curved as if to direct the warm air that comes out of the dryer towards an outlet for the hot air. I can roll mine right up to a window so I didn't need to buy flex-duct or anything to extend its venting. In the instructions it said something like - if you prefer not to vent the dryer through a window, you may just enjoy the 'pleasant warming' it will provide to your room. Must be cold year round in China, huh? I didn't mind a little 'warming' in Jan-Feb. But it's in the 90's now in NYC. Don't think I'd want to run it unvented in a windowless room today. But appears - from the instructions - to be possible; although maybe not always a practical idea. But that's where we come back to the flex duct - you can buy that stuff by the mile I think, if you need to.

As Barry mentioned, user guide recommends to install this so the blades are horizontal and pipe is vertical, directly to the exhaust vent. Page 2 has a picture.http://www.fantech.net/Documentation/Air%20Distribution%20Products/401818%20RSK%20OIPM%20EN%20FR%20ES.pdf

I have not welded exhaust pipes with mine yet , but it would be well within the range of the unit , I love mine works great on lighter metal , not sure if it would do good on real heavy metal, but for home shop I would recommend it ,and cost is right

Bernard, not positive if you can do so. Best to contact the company. If you look online, you should be able to locate customer service. I vented ours through the window and it worked very well. My guess would be that you would need a good seal around the vent tube to do so.

Mine install was also in the basement and allowed for a 2" air intake and a 2" exhaust out the side of the house. The manual provides for other options including roof vent.

No, please dont This specific model is designed for exterior installation only. However there is a similar product that is designed for interior installation but requires a duct venting to an exterior wall.it is a little cheaper but requires more installation work due to the exhaust ventilatio

I used it the way it is made. I don't think it can be changed to any other position. It is designed to fit between the joists, so exhaust outlet goes parallel to the joists.

As they said... some screws and rigging will get it done. Just flex and pull it how u need to fit. Don't forget to insulate after though the exhaust gets HOT. You don't want warm hot air coming in from window, else your A?C defeats the purpose of doing it's job. I took some standard insulation roll R30/15 whatever you want (warehouse store) put it over the vent, and duck taped over it. Won't look pretty but neither does the vent. Your drapes will cover over that anyway so shouldn't be a problem. But you will save TONS on energy efficiency b/c this window vent is complete crap and useless to block out the air. Hope that helps.

The quick answer is I don't know. However, I would note there is apparently a small tray at the bottom (others have mentioned this). The basic problem I see with not installing the exhaust is where is the hot air supposed to go? You can, I have, have the pipe go out a homemade baffle. I did this since the one that came did not work in my window. Hope that helps.

Depends on your configuration... http://www.rinnai.us/commercial/venting-accessories

This is outdoor only. It has to be in an exterior open aired space. No interior garage installation allowed. that would vent harmful exhaust into the garage. They sell the indoor unit and will require proper venting flue. Both indoor and outdoor units are great!

Yes, the exhaust can be vented to the outside of the house. I do not know how many CFM.
