Can this fan be mounted on a slanted exterior ceiling in an area with high humidity?

Sorry I do not know. Its a great fan, but I put 2 in my kitchen on a flat ceiling.

Mine is in my kitchen I can walk to bay or ocean so a fairly humid environment. It's dual mount I did it ceiling hugger. I don't think it's rated for exterior use.

It's really a "ceiling" fan but I don't see why it couldn't be installed in a wall. Yes, you can duct it outside from there.

I would not mount them on the outside just for the reason that it would shorten the life of the fan as it would more than likely get water in it even if it were protected. If your opening is large enough to trim a little of the sheet metal from the edges of the fan and mount it "recessed" from the outside wall face a few inches it will be out of the weather especially with a decorative cover. That is the method I used and have had no issues.

No. This fan is design for a residential, light commercial installation and is resistant to humidity, only.You should search for an industrial ventilation fan ( or fume hood) and sit down before you check the price. Hope this helps.

This fan puts out a lot of air flow - I use it to vent humidity from my home's basement. For that volume you may want to a "duct booster" fan which has a quarter of the air flow.

I don't think so. My past experience has been when using a fan outside it has to be rated for outdoor use. Too much chance for rust, etc. I would see what manufacturer's specs state.

I WOULD RECOMMEND CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER TO ENSURE THAT THE FAN COULD BE SAFELY OPERATED ON ITS SIDE. It appears to be designed to be used standing up (vertically). There's a vent that wraps around the back and from side to side.

Yes! The ability to work in damp location is a bonus. It will work just as well in a dry location! Great quiet fan!

Krystal I don't believe this can be installed on a slanted ceiling , if you look online maybe there is an insert to put up or something to help it so that it can be for slanted ones too

It is a great fan, but no: it is not waterproof. I would not recommend using it where it will be splashed, rained upon, etc.

By the time you take into account the light fixture and the drop bar, yes it probably is. We have high, slanted ceilings so it wasn't a problem for us. I don't remember if you could flush-mount this fan or not. If you can, that would probably take around 8 inches off.

The fan is powerful and should have no problem keeping the area cool, but keep in mind in high humidity it can get clogged after a month or so.

U can try but u should get a 4" blower. I used this fan on a tent blowing fresh air in and if I had any abstruction the tent would heat up and humidity would rise.

This fan is a ceiling flush-mounted. I would not recommend this for a vaulted ceiling. Get a fan that hangs 'on a stick' down from the ceiling.

You can do a flush mount. We mounted the fan in our bathroom. Eight foot ceiling and a standard door opens under the fan. Supposedly a down rod would increase air flow, but we did not have that option. The fan did help our humidity problem in a tight shower area.

While it may be what you're looking for, I wouldn't recommend it. This fan is not weatherproof and is also not sealed. It would allow both bugs and airflow to come in through the gaps even when it's not running. Plus many exterior walls are too thick for this fans maximum thickness setting. Good luck though.

It can be ceiling mounted as is, but not where there is insulation contact or contact with other materials. This unit MUST have free air space around it.
