Can this fan be used horizontally (blowing down or up), without any side effect like noise or lessened durability?

I don't have mine permanently mounted horizontally, but when I was building the box I ran it while horizontal and it didn't make any noise, change fan speed, etc.

I have laying flat ontop of my receiver and I have not experienced and noise/performance issues

The one I have set up is pulling hot air out from the top of my receiver. It lays horizontally & it performs very well. No noise what so ever. Been working that way for about six months now.

The fan has a mechanical tilt and turn system. When you turn these features on the fan will move both side to side and up and down. Both motions are individually controlled so you don't have to have the fan doing both at the same time unless you want it to. One warning, don't force the fan to move in either direction as this can damage the mechanics of the fan.

Not inherently.. you might be able to modify it somehow to do that, I don't know.. but as it comes, it's only an exhaust fan..

U manually pivot (tilt up or tilt down) to the position u want it to blow. It has 3 different fan speeds which i usually put on med. The fan runs great still 24-7 all summer long - its noisy which lulls me sleep. I hope this answers ur question.

The noise from this fan is simply the sound of the air being blown, and it is louder than a cheaper/plastic fan because it is more powerful. This fan is not noisy in any other, annoying way - no rattling or clicking or other annoying noises I have experienced in the past with cheaper/plastic fans. This is just pure wind sound. Do be aware though, this is an industrial-strength fan so it is significantly more powerful -- and therefore the wind sound is louder -- than typical home fans. So it would not be ideal for a small space -- it is too powerful, will blow papers around, would be too loud if you're too close and trying to listen to something else. It's better suited for a larger space -- I needed it for a large space that is hard to cool in the summer, and it really makes a world of difference. It is exactly what I needed. So just keep in mind that this is a more powerful, industrial-strength fan and consider the space where you want to use it and whether you think it could help you or if you think it might be too much power for your needs. It is an excellent fan, and I am extremely pleased with it -- no complaints; it has rubber feet which helps keep it from moving around and which also helps protect your floor (if you have nice hardwood floors). I definitely recommend it if you are going to use it in a decent-size space.

Fan tilts up and down only. Fan oscillates side to side or remains still. So you could let it oscillate to the left or right and then stop the oscillate.

I've tried both ways and in my setup, it was better to put upside down to blow directly on the warmest component. The fans move a lot of air. Try it one way and then another and compare what feels cooler. Even better if you can measure the temperature.

Probably. I mean, it is horizontal in its natural orientation in that the wings expand sideways. I assume you mean could you mount it so that the expansion wings are up and down. Yes, you could probably rig it that way. This is a great fan.

You could but it wouldn't be stable as it isn't level with the handle being elevated at a slight angle. I hope that helps. Otherwise it is a great fan.

Yes, you can. But it you intend to have it on low, there'll be a problem. At the low setting, this fan (and I bought two of them) makes a horrendous racket. I don't recommend it. I sent both of mine back.

Not significantly. If you are looking for a quiet solution and are somewhat electrically savvy, try wiring two fans in series and ditch the speed controller. I found this configuration was much quieter (practically silent!) than using the fans on the low setting of the speed controller, and still moved a surprising amount of air. The speed controller is not a very "elegant" design, and causes the fans to emit a buzzing or humming noise at low speed.

Yes it can. Both up/down and side to side. Really nice fan. Cleans easy as well.

No...there is no way to change the directional flow of air. I even tried to take it apart to see if I could manually flip the fan and motor. This is truly for thru wall, room to room air circulation, not ventilation.

Yes, there are two additional clips on the back side of the fan so you can aim it down. Those clips won't allow you to "adjust" where the air is blowing though, they just point the fan down. I used some string to tie the fan at a better angle but this fan doesn't have a lot of air moving power, we used them mostly for white noise and the light and just brought a box fan with us in the camper.

Hi Offey, thank you for asking. The fan currently blows away from the metal frame but you can switch it's airflow direction using a screwdriver. So yes! you can them in a push pull configuration. From Jeremy, AC Infinity Inc.

You can adjust the fan to the angle you want; I've used it on a dresser, and on the floor. The base is very sturdy. It has so much power that I've never set it above 'low'. This is the best fan I've ever used.

I have installed three of these fans. If you do not tighten the bolt that runs through the support, to tight, you can turn it left and right. There is no reason to over-tighten this bolt so the fan won't move left & right. Good luck.
