Is this suitable to use in the ceiling for a cold-air return vent for my furnace?

Gibby I am not sure. How they worl is the whole house fan starts sucking air right behind shutter causing the vents to pivit open and allow air into atic to exit house. You would need a fan strong enough to open the loovers for this to work. Best guess would be no unless the vent is very close to furnace

You absolutely could. I'm sure you're aware they sell vent filters that are the same cut out as the traditional vents in new homes, BUT, I believe this 3M filter would work better than the cheap ones they sell specifically for air vents. Heck I'm going to try it out as well...it's a much better filter anyway quality wise than any vent filter I've seen yet....as good as 3M is with a little cut and trim...can't go wrong. Go for it. I am...will keep you posted.

Yes, but it will deplete the oxygen in the air and in too small of a room since it is not vented. Therefore it should not be used as a sole source of heat in a living area. Is fine for basements, garages and emergency heat.

Probably. The vent system is mounted to a 1' square of thin metal (aluminun I think). Simply bend the sheet over your vent stack, attach with screws.

They hold on using magnets so if it's a ceiling vent no. If you have a strong air flow from a floor vent it might not stay in place, stay upright. Works with metal vents beautifully.

This wrap is a great insulator. As long as the heat is low enough so that the plastic inside does not burn, it should work fine. If you are wrapping duct work it will work great. It is not for exhaust vent piping, which even double-walled would still be too high a temperature.

I do not believe you will be able to use this vent. The outside flush frame of the vent measures 11-1/2" long X 5-1/2" wide. The box which houses the fans on the underside of the flush frame (which sit into your floor duct opening) is: 9-1/2" long X 3-3/4" wide X 1-3/8" deep. The rough opening on my floor to accept the vent measures 10-5/8" X 4-1/2". Either way, your measured length and width opening will not fit this model.

As long as there is good air circulation, I think it would be ok. You might do a ceiling temperature check using a charcoal grill where you plan on placing the unit prior to ordering.

Yes if it fits in the space properly. I believe this one can be configured to vent to the outside of the home or just back into your kitchen, depending on what the configuration of your current fan is like. Ours doesn't vent to outside of home so we just set it to recirculate.

I have owned 2 of these fans over the years & I love them. Both of mine were installed indoors in my family room . As long as it won't get weather on it, I think it would work in the space you are asking about.

I would not advise it. Anytime you vent into a possible closed space such as an attic, you risk the chance of condensation and mold issues. Although ugly, if you purchase so extra flex hose, you can run it into another room for proper venting.

Hi, I don't think so. The window will still have an opening that would let the hot air back in. Sliding windows works best. This model is good it pushes cold air out from the front not the top. The models that push cold air out from the top through the air up towards the ceiling. Thank you

I can't see why not. If you build a plywood frame around it or fit it to the window size as you would a window air conditioning unit, it should work. Keep in mind weather could possibly enter the vent if you keep it in all year.

Probably not that well: we are using ours in a room that is approx. 15 feet by 20 feet with 15 foot ceilings--2 walls are glass (no insulation). Unless you are on top of the heater, not feeling much warmth.

I would say no. This fan mounts in the wall. It fits through the thickness of the wall and vents directly to outside, using no duct. If you need to use a 4 inch vent pipe, I would buy a fan made for that application.

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.

I set mine up to draw fumes or hot air out of my garage. It fit perfectly into the opening of a roof vent. It is only max 400cfm so your volumetric flow is not high, but to move some fumes it works. I found paint spray vapor deposited on my fan blades so it does work somewhat ok. But it is not sealed, spark proof or waterproof so think about your application carefully & be sure you are not creating a hazard
