Will this attic fan be a suitable replacement for a different brand (air vent) model -dow-136-0-34-xin?

measure your existing motor and the length of the shaft....if they are real close to your existing motor it should work. The mounting bracket on mine is in 3 peices that grips the outside of the motor, so all I needed to verify was the motor diameter and the length and diameter of the shaft for the fan blades. Hope this helps,TS

It may work, we have no info on the Dow motor. If your motor mounts with a belly band strap around the motor and it does not have a capacitor it will probably work fine.

I bought this to replace an older Broan fan. It fit in the space that the older one did, the shape isn't the exact same but it fit. I found that the internal part placement is different though. The output fit right where I needed it to, but the electric wires were placed on the opposite side. This caused a problem for me, the romex wire needed to be extended to fit since the builders ran it directly to the fan and left no slack to work with. If I had to order again, I would just get the replacement parts and try to work them into the old metal frame instead of an entire new fan. The fan is also very loud. The older model was loud but I can hear this thing running a floor above. If you are looking at cost and noise doesn't bother you it will be fine.

there should not be much size difference in the replacement. There is usually enough space in the fan cover for it to fit, providing your connections/splices are small. This is my opinion !

I would say the dimensions of the fan frame set the minimum size needed for the air flow exit. You might be able to utilize a slightly smaller venting exit in you attic; be sure and check first for mounting options. My gable vent area was a little bigger than the fan, so I built a frame around the inside attic vent with 2x4s and flush mounted the fan. I ensured no air would escape back into the attic and all air pushed outside. I'd make sure there isn't to much resistance the fan has to push against in order to drive the hot air out (I.e. bug grills, outside vent vent slats, etc). Mine has been running like a champ for a year now and does make a positive difference. I would say the dimensions of the fan frame set the minimum size needed for the air flow exit.

I would imagine so. I have one on another fan of mine and it works fine. This one should be the same I would think.

Wish I could help but I do not know what the difference is. Sorry!!! What is the make and model number of your fan?

Sorry I have no idea. When I had my roof replaced, I had the roofer install it and my son is the one suggested I get a attic fan.

No this is not the outdoor version of the Original fan. You would want the 23847 Damp rated fan. I don't think Amazon has it right now.

I have the p38 . You should be able to get the same fan # off your blower. For my stove this was excact match

If you are mounting on the ceiling to replace old fan you'll need to make sure the existing cut out is large enough to fit the new unit. I had enlarge the existing hole to make it fit. Mounting bracket is not too difficult to install; however, make sure you duct work is 4" or you'll need to buy a 3" to 4" duct convertor.Good luck

I think it should work fine. It's a generic replacement and works great on my Hunter Douglas fan.

We had an old house with a previous similar through-the-wall fan (inside faceplate, no range hood). The stud wall had lathe-and plaster inside (replaced with new plasterboard) and original wood siding and rock-hard cement stucco outside. The old metal sleeve was slightly distorted, and the old fan also had the switch on the fan inside faceplate. There was some assembly and some minor cutting and fitting required,. We used the old wire to pull a new electric supply wire. So, while it was a direct thru-wall replacement for us, it did have some minor installation fit-work -- never unexpected in an old house. I can't picture your "attachment to an existing 8" duct." You will need to fabricate your own adapter and details -- not impossible but custom fit-work. Are you abandoning the inside face-plate and switch? If so, you might look for some other in-line fan-unit. If possible, download the installation manual (for detailed pictures) before ordering -- or inspect one locally. I agree with others: Why adapt this model, when there are others built for your (in-line) purpose?

If you have an attic vent fan already working efficiently then probably not. If you do not have one, then installing this should help reduce heat build up in the attic which in turn should reduce the heat on your second floor.

Yes. Though I will add, as stated in my amazon review, that while the two fans were the same model number the color of the two did not fully match. One was blue but the other was more indigo looking. I didn't care that much but you might want to consider that before making your purchase. I blame quality control.

This is an UPGRADE kit for an existing fan. However, the fan does fit in a standard 14x14 hole. But if you do not already have a "Fantastic Vent", this won't work for you. You need model 6600R/417, which is the WHOLE thing.

Thank you for the inquiry. Sorry but this will not work as a replacement for your 509 vent fan
