can it be used for horizontal mounting?? Will the louvres open/close?

It was mounted as shown in the photo at the left. The louvres open when the fan is on and close when the fan is off. It opens and closes just fine.

Mine is mounted with the slats running horizontal in the greenhouse. I didn't try turning it vertical so I don't know. We're having 90* weather and it hasn't failed me yet...

Yes I installed it horizontally and it works just fine. In fact, its safer to install horizontally because you dont risk being locked out of the house when you slam the door close and the lock accidentally come down and locks you out!

I mounted mine horizontal but I see no reason why it wouldn't work in a vertical position. The only issue could be the tray inside that holds the gun. Not sure how freely it would slide in and out.

Yes, I will work either way. I mounted mine horizontally, but the brackets that come with it will hold it in either orientation. You might have to put something for it to rest on as it will be heavier when full of water. It would be best to mount it so the bulb could be withdrawn upward (less spillage if you were ti have to remove the end cap) the internal quartz tube should not leak with the oring and threaded cap in place.

I am not sure how you would do that, as the wire holder that comes with it, is designed to use on horizontal bars. You might could rig up something to make it work tho!

I am not sure but it has a spring loaded door so I don't see why not a horizontal position.

I mounted it horizontal. I had to cut part of the stud. It wasn't an issue at all beyond cutting. Took a few minutes to do

Yes, it's designed for either horizontal or vertical use. We use it vertically (without the adjustable side panels). Fits snugly in the window and it works great! Very quiet fan too.

I believe the case can be used horizontally; however, you will need to remove the inside hanger bracket and you will need to mount the wall hanging brackets (located on the back) from from the short side to long side. Please note - the hinges are located on the long side.

According to instruction, No. I beleive this is becasue the louvers are not designed for Vertical. The fan itself will work either way.

Sure it can be mounted horizontal. I've installed one in an R.V. It works just fine.

Yes, it could be installed horizontally. A beautiful fixture and very reasonably priced!

The mounts are made for horizontal hanging, but you could buy picture wire and make it vertical.

never tried mounting this way cant imagine why it would not work horizontally. Recommend SHURflo 94-591-01 Pump Silencing Kit. remarkable how much quieter system is.

I have mine installed horizontally, and it would be no issue mounting it vertically either. As long as itmounted "between" two studs, you could almost mount it anywhere.(and it sounds very good also)

Horizontal is not, in and of itself, a problem. I think maybe you'd be better off having a pro look at the problem. This fan was NOT designed as a house cooling fan. I'm seeing lots of reasons for what I think you're talking about to be dangerous, and nine gazilion reasons for you to be unhappy. But horizontal will work.

Yes, these can be used in the horizontal style box. That is all I've used and it works just fine.
