Can you use this as an exhaust for the attic? If not any other suggestions?

I think the fan is way too small to remove sufficient air from a normal size attic of a home. For the attic you need and attic fan, as they are much larger and made to remove lots more air.

No. This is not suitable for attic use. There are several attic exhaust fans on the market that would work much better. Amazon has a couple different Broan roof mount units,but your use is dependent on attic size, attic shape, inlet air size, placement, power supply, and other air outlets. I would recommend thermostat and humidity control. I would suggest contacting a building or roofing contractor for help. It can get a little complicated to properly size a unit.

yes, I think so. If you can mount it without water intrusion issues then it will work. Great fan, been very reliable. does have freeze protection, so won't work in cold climates to well.

The fan is not even powerful enough to vent my crawlspace. You need an attic fan. I bought this one: Cool Attic CX1500UPS Power Gable Ventilator FanIt is powerful but you need to put stick-on weather stripping between the shroud and brackets to ensure it does not rattle.

You will need a window or at least a place where you can put hose for exhaust

I installed one of these as a bathroom exhaust fan--used a ceiling vent plate that had a 4"duct nipple (you can use an A/C ceiling plate) and then ducted it into the attic to the TD-100 and then more duct to the house ridge vent. I used regular Romex 14-2 with a ground from a timer to the fan. The fan has a connection box on it to make the connections using compression screws that are all supplied.

It works great for sound deadening. I used it to make a sound baffle for a 6" exhaust fan for a growroom. It was really loud before, after the baffle was installed it was so quite you can't even hear it. As long as there are no overheating issue and ventilation it should work good.

Yes it can; there are ducting kits available. I purchased the unit for wall-mount and use a charcoal filter, but you can get the ducting kit as well to vent through a wall or ceiling/roof

I wouldn't; too much exhaust would collect. I placed a 4'X4' piece of 3/8'" plywood on top and propped other pieces alongside. The gaps let the exhaust out and allowed the engine to breathe but I could still hear it inside the house. This unit is not that loud, but it is noticeable. Good luck!

No I don't think this would be a good way. If I was you and could get up into the attic I would nail or screw a 2x4, 2x6 or bigger between the ceiling joists, on the flat way. I even done this for all my ceiling fans, because the chains do get pulled, didn't want anything to come down. These work great for just a light or fan, even then I like to put wood up first to have a better hold. Sure hope this helps, ask more if need be. Rodney

Yes you can set them up as exhaust fans. Just make sure they are pointing outward from your case. I have 3 of them set for exhaust on a 800D case and they work lovely.

I didn't use the fan. I needed an exhaust fan that would exhaust to the outside atmosphere..........not room to room.

It would work great if mounted in the attic and ducted, might be a little noisy otherwise as it moves a lot of air.

You can use the fan to exhaust purposes. It can be used in an unheated garage as long as it's not exposed to outside weather.

It could be, don't know that it would work as good. I hooked it up inside just to try it and it didn't work great. Not sure what it would work like in the attic, maybe it would of been ok. I reLly needed to get the height because of trains and semis.

Just for exhaust. You would have to build a frame extended out to mount it in reverse and ceate draw.

I'm not quite sure how you would mount this on a pipe? Are you talking about using a pipe as a vent?
626526
I would not recommend that because a) it does not have any way to take in fresh outside air, meaning you would have negative pressure in your house and would be using your breathing air for combustion, b) it would not distribute heat throughout the house...you'd need ductwork, and c) it's pretty loud for inside a house. Not bad for a garage, but not great for a house. I think there must be better ways to heat a small house, including electric radiant heaters. You could buy several for the cost of one of these. Just my opinion.

What type of ceiling are you trying to circulate air through? Are you pulling air into an attic? If it is a acoustical type ceiling. I would suggest an lay in vent with the fan mounted in an outside wall above the ceiling. I don't think the fan was design for that application, it does blow pretty hard. Try calling Fantech, they might say other wise.

I doubt it unless you have 2 X 6 studs you might be able to flush mount it and exhaust it into an attic with a 4 inch flexible dryer vent hose.
