Can it be placed on its side or does it have to stay vertical?

Mine lays flat. Any position is fine (as long as your dryer is electric and not gas). It has saved me lots of $$ since installing it.

It can go either way. HINT: Although it has a close mesh metal screen, when you use this it should have additional filtering to prevent lint and dust from entering your living space. I accomplish this easily by putting a used dryer sheet between the screen and retainer ring and then replacing it with next load. Takes 5 seconds and you'll be glad you did. I've had this for a few years and still use it in the winter.

We have used it both ways. So the answer is yes. Very pleased with this item.

While it'll work in a horizontal position, I'd expect some lint to gradually accumulate on whatever surface is on the bottom. This could make it harder to move the flap between indoor and outdoor positions. I'd check it periodically, especially in the warmer weather. My guess is you're unlikely to spend much more than 5 minutes a year on this task. While setting the unit on it's back so it blew air upwards would solve this problem I don't think I'd want to be blowing lots of moist hot air against the wall, and that position would make it tougher to see the screen.

Theres a little gravity flap inside. I'm not really sure why it's there. It would still work if the unit were horizontal and on it's back (indoor vent screen facing up).

The orientation does not matter. Unrelated. I did place a women's knee high stocking over the room vent side to catch lint coming from the dryer. A lot of fine lint was caught in the stocking preventing it from just blowing into the house.

Yes - horizontal placement won't make any difference. The vent flap has a little "click" to hold it open so it doesn't matter. Wonderful product!

You'd have to lay it on its side. The top trays can be adjusted for length only.

Although I did not mount the sub vertically, I can't see why you couldn't sit it on its side. Btw, I'm very pleased with the quality of the sub. I have it sitting under a chair. :-)

Hi. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to place it on its side. I have two of them and I have one in a very steamy bathroom every day and it actually helps keep the area dry.

No. Well, it could stand perpendicular to the surface, not very stable, but that probably isn't what you mean.

I have it mounted horizontal but don't see why it can't be mounted vertical . Great product !

I, personally, would not like it hung vertically. Horizontally, it is balanced on both sides. Vertically, it would not be.

No, it needs to be installed vertically. The bulb on the bottom floats on the water, rising up and sealing. It wouldn't work horizontally.

Yes, it can be installed vertically up or down as well as horizontally. I installed mine pointing down just as you want to.

You will need to find a way of holding it. It is not free standing, it is designed to be mounted in an opening.

Hmm... I don't know the correct answer to your question. I imagine that you probably can install it horizontally. However, I don't know if there is some mechanism that will work incorrectly if it is tilted on its side. This is a great tank heater though. I haven't had any problems with it and it maintains a constant temp.

Yes it can lay on its side although the stand is as shown in the picture a triangular shape. It may be awkward but I don't think if left will fall over

I have mine attached to a tee which makes it almost horizontal. I have used it for 2 years now without a problem.

You can place it in one side--that shouldn't be a problem. Just verify the dimensions.

We mounted this on the left side next to our toilet. I would not recommend installing it vertically. The mounting brackets are fantastic. My husband is a large man and it is VERY secure. We have bracket mounted into a stud and the right one into just drywall and it is extremely sturdy.

Yes it can. You would have to put it on it's side, but it will function still completely. Should have no problem. :)

I have one and also keep it on its side. I just love it. You won't be disappointed
