Can I point this unit upward (eg fan inside, blowing out through ceiling), or would the shutters be to heavy to open up that way?

I think it would open the shutters but not as wide. If it is blowing outside the chance of rain getting in would also be greater. I have had no experience with shutters at an angle so this is just my opinion.
1463327
That is not the way that I have it but do not see any reason why not. the shutters are not that heavy to open and the force of the fan should be able to open them up even when the unit would be upward.

Well, I have the exact fan and I had it totally horizontal and the shutters did open. Now that was the unit I had, it was once and the unit was new. Add age, dirt, maybe a critter or two and it may not always work. I would guess that the CFM volume would go down in the horizontal position and as mentioned before, you would have to protect the unit from any moisture. There is no reference to staying vertical in the Fantech manual but I do believe it is implied that you would. If I were mounting it inside and horizontal, I would probably just remove the shutters, put some screen or chicken wire over it and run it that way. Good luck to you.

The shutters hang loosely. Unless you had something to prop them open with they will not stay open.

What type of ceiling are you trying to circulate air through? Are you pulling air into an attic? If it is a acoustical type ceiling. I would suggest an lay in vent with the fan mounted in an outside wall above the ceiling. I don't think the fan was design for that application, it does blow pretty hard. Try calling Fantech, they might say other wise.

I am looking at my fan right now. It is obvious that if it were mounted on a sloping ceiling that sloped more than a tiny amount- say 5 degrees, the fan blades would hit the ceiling. You could, of course, mount it on a rod that dropped from the ceiling, but the rod would likely sway as the blades of the fan start to spin. Thus, you would have to brace the rod somehow, but doing so would ruin the aesthetics of the fan. The only solution I can think of would be to have a carpenter install a beam near the apex of the roof- kind of like a tie rod-- and mount your fan to that.

Hello! The fan can be mounted up to a 29 degree slope. Anything larger than that, and you will need Minka-Aire A245-WH, Sloped Ceiling Adapter (For 3/4" Downrods), White If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know! Lighting and Locks 1-800-334-5804

yes, the nice thing about this vent is how easy the louvers open it does not take much air. Hanging from the ceiling will just leave them open.

It is really tall but it is spring loaded. So depending on your ceiling you might be able to do it.

If your vent is on the wall I'm sure you can as it's very light weight. You would have to tape the two pieces together at the length you needed as well and then the opening would go up it that's what you need.

The fan tilts downward and upward. Actually, you can tilt the fan 360 degrees.

Yes, but unless you need to use a low profile fan due to ceiling height restrictions----don't. Based on previous experience, low profile fans don't move as much air as regular mount fans. I own rental properties and have been pleased with the Hunter brand of fans in general.

The camera inside the casing can move up and down only. So you can point it anywhere between the ceiling or floor. The only way to move the camera from side to side is to move the external case the direction you want. Hope this helps.

Yes!!! You can do it. I bough it with the same intention, but I could't do it because I couldn't embedded the base in the ceiling, and I did not like how looked the upper box of the lamp facing the family room.
484975
Yes, you can. I have my camera mounted on ceiling and still pan/tilt without problems.

Mount it from a pole attached to the ceiling above rather than a pole mounted from the ground/base unit as seen in the picture. Just reverse the mounting from above...

I'd recommend it could work. We use it in our A frame to get to the ceiling fan up VERY high. The telescoping is great for tight spaces and storage.

If you have the fan set to exhaust into the room it will blow it up at approximately 45 degrees from floor level. Technically up and out. To answer your question of up or down, let's say up.

You cannot extend the height, but the fan blades can be adjusted to face upwards.

yes, you can mount from a ceiling but the camera will be rotated 90 degrees, basically laying on it's side.The ball joint won't allow it to rotate enough for the camera to be oriented correctly, but it would not bother me in the slightest.

No I don't think this would be a good way. If I was you and could get up into the attic I would nail or screw a 2x4, 2x6 or bigger between the ceiling joists, on the flat way. I even done this for all my ceiling fans, because the chains do get pulled, didn't want anything to come down. These work great for just a light or fan, even then I like to put wood up first to have a better hold. Sure hope this helps, ask more if need be. Rodney
