can this fan be mounted in the horizontal position?

I would think not as there is no thrust bearing which would be needed if used horizontally.

I don't plan to mount it in a horizontal position, but, I don't see why you couldn't. It should be fine mounted horizontally.

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

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

Yes, it can be installed in a horizontal position. Just make sure those red printed letters on the check valve are facing upwards, meaning the flapper will close downwards after tightening both unions.

Not unless you wrap some short of strap around the canister also. But it is possible. It comes with a mounting bracket for the fan.

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.

Rachel,Yes both of mine are flush mounted just like a normal fan would be. The down rods were way too long for what I was trying to do. The hard part was finding a switch that would work with two fans. The one that comes with it is great for one or if you are running them on separate lines.

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.

I would think not because it has to hang straight down; not from an angle. We ended up returning the fan because the light casts dots on the surrounding walls. Really tacky. We called the parent company Ellington for design recommendations. They were very helpful. www.ellingtonfans.com

I can't imagine why not. Running them in the horizontal plane, unless i'm mistaken, is more efficient and easier on the fan.

You can install a check valve in any position you wish, however I am not sure why you would ever need to use it in a horizontal position. One uses this valve to stop back flow.

Not sure. The fan at the back needs clearance so you might not be able to install that way

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.

Mine is installed horizontally between two floor joists and so far it is working good. It replaces a fan intended for horizontal but I installed it in a ceiling (vertical) and it lasted a year before going out. Using a fan opposite of what it is intended for can be hard on the bearings. My guess is this one would be OK either way, but contacting the manufacturer would be the safest way to go.

The feet have metal plates in them with pre-cut mounting 'key-holes' for screws (screws to be fixed to the wall at either studs or with anchors). The fan can be mounted in only one orientation (controls on the 'up-side') due to an automatic power cut-off. Therefore, check the direction you want airflow to go, then check to see if the fan as mounted will work in that direction. If not, the fan-blade housing will rotate 180 degrees to send air in the opposite direction, but would look (and would be) turned backwards.

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.

The downward rotation of the fan is very limited, no more than 5 degrees. It have to be mounted sideways in order to pointed downward if attached to a wall.
