Do you have to install the automatic shutter or can you just keep the existing gable vent?

I just mounted it over my existing gable vent (which has a screen on the attic side between the fan and it).

Keep the existing gable vent. This is what was done in my attic and it is working fine. Gable at the other end of attic would let in almost same amount of air that fan will expel. My therostat is set at 100. The only thing I noticed is that fan runs even when outside temperature has dropped, because attic is still hotter than 100 degrees. Automatic vent is not going to change that.

Most gable vents are too small. I needed to use a shutter because of the size and the need for enough air flow.

I kept the existing vent, mounted, and been's working great all summer here in ny

Installed just like the picture over the cable vent on the inside of the barn. Just make sure you have enough air space in the vent to handle the air flow.

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!

No, you just hang it from the ceiling. I quess you can put that exterior in the drywall but it has little holes so if you do that there won't be any venting when the lights get hot.

It is entirely possible to install from the outside. Also, best to make sure to apply the face of the vent, with sealant applied to the flange. I installed two of these from the outside.

On my camera I am able to choose "Bulb" setting which allows long exposures. Using my remote I activate the opening of the shutter, using it again closes the shutter. There is only one button on the remote. Remember to point the remote at the infrared receiver on the camera. On mine I had to point at the front of the camera.

The unit acts just like a shutter button. Whether the shutter stays open is usually a function of the camera. If your camera supports bulb exposures I think you can probably do what you want to do.

This should be installed behind the gable vent. Squirrels wont be an issue unless they are already. You will also need an appliance cord or some romex to connect power to the thermostat.

It can get hot closed up, but the peek is very high compared to others. a vent kit is all I would recommend. I don't have one(vent) and just opening is sufficient for my needs. the door is large.

Don't remember exactly, and it is a tough climb in the attic to measure, but I can give you a close estimate. I paired mine with the "Cool Attic CX2121 Automatic Gable Vent Shutter". The shutter is listed as 21" square. I built a 1 1/2 inch frame around the interior edge of the shutter (2x4' s on end), and then mounted the fan to this frame. The fan mounted on this frame with each tab in the center of each side (not the corners). About 1/4 inch of each tab extended over the edge of the frame, which would put the tip of the tabs across from each other at 21 1/2 inches. The outer mounting holes would then be 20 inches across, and the inner holes 19 across from each other. Too confusing, I know, but the best I can do.

No you need to purchase the vent. I ordered the Rinnai 223177PP 21-Inch Condensing Horizontal Termination Kit, it comes out the top and bends to the side so it vents to the side outer wall. It worked perfectly. Also very happy with the Rinnai water heater...

The manufacturer(TPI Corp.) does not recommend installing the Shutter-Mounted Exhaust Fan anywhere but directly on a vertical wall. The shutters would not be able to open and close properly if installed at an angle.

When set to bulb the shutter will stay open as long as you hold the button down

Should be no problem, as long as you have enough static vents to supply air when both are running, these are usually located in the eaves. If you don't, you could create a negative pressure situation and suck air from inside your house. Although I don't see the point of having both go out, the point is to remove heat from the ceiling. I would think going from the shady side of the house to the sunny side, both blowing the same direction would be the most effective way to do that.

You will need the extra extensions. You also might want to consider going from both ends of the vent.

It can be set in manual mode or by using shutter preferred setting which allows aperture to be set with auto shutter

That is not the way that I have it but do not see any reason why not. the shutters are not that heavy to open and the force of the fan should be able to open them up even when the unit would be upward.

This is a gable mount. You can get an attic version that requires a hole in the roof. I have this one mounted in my shop building and I have the attic version on my house.

You can unscrew the screw at the back to close the vent. Because the vent opens and closes according to the temperature, as the temperature drops with the approach of a storm the vent should close automatically.
