Does this just slip inside the vent or must it be screwed into the exterior house surface. I'd rather not screw holes into my brick exterior.eut

It should be caulked in any case. Probably just the caulk would hold it securely enough, especially if it is an adhesive silicone type. However, it sounds as if you want to push it into an existing vent pipe. If they are the same size, then it wouldn't fit.

Yes you could just use some construction adhesive to adhere it to the brick or slip it inside the vent and put a clamp on it. You wouldn't have to screw it into the brick.

No, please dontThis specific model is designed for exterior installation only. However there is a similar product that is designed for interior installation but requires a duct venting to an exterior wall.it is a little cheaper but requires more installation work due to the exhaust ventilatio

Hey there. No. It doesn't need to be vented outside but I found that if I don't, the windows get steamed up on the cold glass. AS month back I was able to have my windows open and I had no trouble. I am using a "Indoor Lint Trap Filter" that cost about $35 bucks from Amazon. I love it but I am going to work on a way to vent it out my window for the winter. I use the dryer about 4 times each week sense I got it and I have not seen any real increases in my electrical bill. Love it. One other thing to add. Keep the internal lint filter clean and you'll get little to none lint out the hose. I used my girlfriends knee high stockings over the end of the exhaust opening and I have not seen any lint at all. I empty the inside lint filter after every load. Best of luck with your purchase and happy Thanksgiving. Hope this helps.

Yes you need to drill. Screws on vent are covered with self leveling caulk and did not want to break the seal of the caulk. It comes with a L bracket where you can drill on sides of vent.

This one is vented to the outdoors. Mine is attached to a roof vent. Hope this helps.

I can see how it could be installed in a wall. You would have to leave the majority of the unit outside to allow the fan to vent properly.

Yes. It SHOULD / must be vented outside to be effective. The unit contains everything needed to make a correct installation through an exterior (frame) wall. You supply the electric wiring.

Yes, the large round fitting you see in the picture is the vent to outside. you need to attach a hose, not included, or a piece of duct work from the fan outlet to an outside area.

It mounts on the metal frame of the vent. Drill 4 small holes into vent frame and attach the supplied brackets screws. 15 minute job. Real easy

I took mine and placed it on my vents with the heater on. You can place it outside if its warm and wait then place into a widemouth container like i did.

Sorry, I have not used mine inside the house before, only outdoors. Friends have though and they haven't experienced the same problem. Perhaps you can try to open a window or patio door and/or turn on oven vent hood when using.

No drilling. In-channel fits in the window channel itself. Original mounts flush on the outside. Original probably has a greater possibility of coming off in excessive wind or in a car wash but on some vehicles it is the only one available or perhaps you are replacing the same type of ventshade and wish to cover up glue residue or paint damage.

The hose and a plastic window slide mount for the hose come with the unit to discharge the heat/evaporating process. Kind of a bumber as my windows swing out. It is made for windows that slide up so plastic insert can be placed in open bottom of window, which is a security risk if on the 1st floor. Also hose gets quit warm and should be insulated to prevent heat from hose interfering with the cooling of the room. The unit works very well in our 2nd fl Master bed room. But a permanent install would be better, where you back the unit up to a exterior wall hole saw a hole through and install a dryer type vent outside. I hope this explanes it! I bought this because I have been recovering from back surgery in bed and we were having our hottest summer in Alaska. Especially upstairs as we have no central AC. Had my boys install it. Definatly does the job, kept our large bedroom cool.

If you already have a vent to the outside or you will have to do it yourself.Comes with... but may have to buy the clamps to fit

It mounts to the lip of the vent. You drill holes in the lip to mount the vent cover with L brackets and screw the cover to the L brackets. Hope this helps.
