I don't know about the siding, I installed them in my chicken coop which is just wood. Hope you find the answer.

How has it been installed. Mine leaked there until I run the system. There are 3 check valves that open with a screwdriver. Try bleeding them and see if it fixes your problem

Use a 1/2" npt union or better yet, get the valve kit so you can flush out the unit once in a while. Make sure you put a T&P; valve on the outlet side for safety. it will be part of the valve kit if you purchase it.

If you drill thru roof and use washers on top, then seal to stop leaks. 2 guns hanging on rough ground can cause the small screws sent with the rack to come falling down.

Yes your roof will leak if you just screw into the roof, (just using silicone or roof mastic will not last) suggest you talk to a roofer if you are not an experienced solar panel installer.We normally use "Stand Off's" with a flashing, not something you want to tackle unless you know what you are doing.

Hello! You cannot flush mount this fan, as the blades are too large. If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know! Lighting and Locks 1-800-334-5804

One of my windows does not allow much overhang. I drilled the braket in such a place where only the end cap is hanging over, less than 1 inch. You can arrange it with a lot of overhang as well. I love these, worked perfectly for all of my windows.

Hi, sounds like it might be too late, but in the few installations I've done with the various Gila cling films, I've rolled it out and placed some books to get it to flatten out for a few days before installing. I haven't had any problems with corners not sticking. I cut to size first, rather than trying to use a razor blade or Xacto to cut after on the window. I've tried both, and cutting first definitely works better for me. Remember to spray some water (mixed with a few drops of dish soap) onto the entire window surface before applying film. Don't be stingy with the water, don't hose it down, but a good spray all over works well to allow you to slide the film around to position just right. Then simple squeegee top to bottom, inside out (I used one of the clean up squeegees you can get for shower doors). As to which side, if it is the heat-reducer film, definitely reflective side out toward the heat source. I have a storm door, so I put it on the storm door rather than main door (which is also full glass) so I was reflecting heat away closer to the heat source (e.g. Sun) and less heat would get trapped between the main door and storm door. Hope this helps.

Anyone ever install infront (outside of house) of the sliding door. Where your sliding screen would be. This would allow your glass sliding door to shut as normal. I picture adding my own brush sweep along the vertical edge to help with air lose. Comments and pictures would be helpful.

I t will fit. However, it leaked so we chose to 'modify' it by gluing the spout & seal into the screw-on lid... This solved the leakage problem. I have seen on ebay since purchasing this item, actual Blitz Replacement Spouts and that is what we will be purchasing for our other cans... These crazy "Safety Spouts" that come on the new cans are a joke - that's why we are purchasing replacement spouts!!! We have also chosen to put a 'vent hole' in each Plastic Blitz Can by putting a nail hole in them and then the nail can be the plug also when storing or transporting. Sometimes you have to be innovative... Estate Auctions are a great place to get to old (best) cans with decent vents, lids & spouts... I t will fit.

I have found no leaks, backing up, or drain problems with my unit that would cause damage. I don't see any problem with what you are wanting to do, but I would err on the safe side and assume that the possibility for leak and overflow could happen in your design.

No.. I have had my for a long while now.. and it never leaked.. you may want to call the company.. it sounds like you left something off while you were installing it.

A second thought. You could remove a 1/4" of wood or so and then attach the bulkhead. What is on the liquid side to prevent a leak? I am thinking some kind of liner or wood sealant.

I wrestled with this, and am frustrated that the Feit installation instructions don't talk about this. But I found the secret (for me at least)..... inside the can are two pairs of little metal L-shaped "ears" across from each other. (the "clips" that others refer to) By default they are not folded out... they're flush with the metal can. With a screwdriver, bend them out 90 degrees. Then the springs on the light fixture slide in to those ears and hold it tight in place. If you have can lights in your bathrooms or closets that have a solid glass waterproof plate over them, those plates mount the same way and you can look at how the ears work.

Drill holes in the roof, fill them with caulking, then run lag bolts with washers through it. It has never leaked once.

there is no drip line. they are designed to evaporate the condensation with the outdoor airflow through the condensor. most air cons, including window models are designed the same way. (i don't like it, i think they should have the option of a drain so you can control excess more predictably -- that said we just went through some 85-90 humid days and didn't have a problem. if you are installing in a sleeve there is space in the sleeve itself usually to drill a hole away from the house or put some kind of small drain fitting to attach to a hose to pick up any excess that spills over into the sleeve. you just need to make sure the installation is not tilted in so you don't get it coming to the inside.)

For the mounting bolts I put a rubber washer on both sides as well as a metal washer to keep it flat and a lock washer to keep the nut tight. For the wiring hole I put a rubber washer around the wire insulation and forced it into the hole as far as I could then sealed it up with black silicone. No leaks so far after going through light rain as well as heavy snow that later melted while still on the roof.
