Small basement window - I would have to cut exhaust bracket to 12" to fit in window. Do you think that would work?

I also had to cut mine to fit and it works no problem as long as the hose is exhausted out through the window and the seal is fairly tight it will work perfectly

That's a small window! You may need to have a board cut to fit any gap which results. One VERY important thing: The filter slides out the SIDE, so don't install it right up the a window frame close to the right. It has the be in the middle of the window area. Mine is installed in a regular apartment size window...and it was a real hassle. I also have no way to clean the filter easily. Works fine though, although it's a bit noisy.

Unless you have at least a few inches of wall surface inside your window frame, I'm afraid not. It needs to be nailed into the wall with a drill and it goes only straight across.

Yes, if you are 'handy' at all. Try one of these options. #1 Use 2 window panel kits which are slid & pegged together. The other option is try the EdgeStar APPK2010 door kit. #2 Go to a Plexiglas Shop and have them cut a 7" wide x height of your door frame panel for you. Several people have posted they had the shop cut the vent hole into the Plexiglas so they didn't have to mess with the kit. One even used an optically-styled piece of Plexiglas to make sure people noticed it (and they didn't walk into it). #3 Go to a home improvement store, which offers 2-3 free 'cuts', on a purchased plywood panel and have it cut to the size you need (the nice thing is the plywood can slip into the door tracks for 2 sided stability). On #2 & #3, I would make sure to cover the long open edge with paint/tape...etc., so some doesn't pick up splinters/cut themselves on it when using the door. Please remember you may need a new sliding door track lock/s. It needs to be very sturdy if you are going to be using the door for inside/outside access.

I would guess that if it is exactly 12" this might not work, as it has to have a little clearance in the back when installed, so it might hit a door in the front if it is exactly 12"

Yes, I had mine done in less than 5". Instruction are basically the same for either type of sliding window.UPDATED 5/11/2015: This will work in a casement/crank window with a little ingenuity, please see my review on how others solved this problem.

The unit is 18 1/2. The included side pieces wont fit, so you would have to seal the sides another way. I recommend a different brand due to the Frigidaire super loud beep when adjusting settings, and lack of a fresh air lever (this lets you blow fresh air in, most units 8000 and below don't have this!). There are days when it's cool outside and too warm inside.... there's nothing I can do about it with one window!

Actual window of the frame is 14"x23" if that helps. You can probably make it work if you folded it nicely?

I had to cut the flue pipe to fit in .also to keep it 12 to 18 inchs away from the stove

I bought the standard window size and there is no middle support bracket, you may want to look into purchasing one for very heavy drapes

I used a 24 inch extension and than felt it was to long thus went with a 12 inch. I do not see why it would not work but you may have to add wiring if you are going to drop 3 feet from ceiling, Fan is quiet and also does not vibrate thus I can not see why it would not work,

Hi Fiona, I have this item. Here are some rough measurements for you. The bracket looks like it will expand to about 43" wide. The exhaust hose looks like it could expand to about 4', maybe 4.5'. It connects to the unit about halfway up, so if your windows are higher than about 2.5' off the ground, keep in mind that some of the hose length is going to be taken up by stretching up to the window itself. It's a great unit though, overall.

You really only have to consider the size of the exhaust pipe and the hole. Mine was not exact but I bought some white pipe fitting, taped it on to the window hole using that silver tape that is used to install vents and my exhaust pipe fit. The hole on the window piece is 5 inches in diameter. Does that help? I can send you a picture of what I did if you give me an address. Have to be creative I guess, and I needed that window piece badly. I am happy with the outcome.

With the pleated section and expansion panel removed, the fan measures 24" wide. You will need to get past the 23" wide inner dimension of your window. Perhaps you can angle it in one side first then square it up, but I doubt it since your depth is so shallow. If you are desperate to get a fan to fit, you could cut away 1/2" of the main housing on each side with a hacksaw. I hope this helps.

I used preformed roof flashing to fabricate a mounting bracket that allowed the fitting to that sized opening when I installed mine BUT I don't know if that unit meets the OSHA specs for a kitchen exhaust fan-----you'd better check before you try it. This fan might not be rated for that use.

Pizza Man has all your answers, I also had to replace the "solid side" to fit a 36 inch window. But have been running this fan 24/7 for over a year and has been doing great. BTW, I'm pretty sure Holmes makes this fan so you may be able to get with them for a longer side extension.

Seems like you've answered your own question. Yes, you should be get the unit into that size window without the side curtains. Will probably have to fabricate your own weather proofing for the sides.
