Can you install this fan horizontal in a ceiling (Between two registers)to move hot air quickly from a main level floor to an upper level floor ?

Probably. I extended the unit (tube) by 19 inches (had to cut bulkhead-went from one room to another -Hor in my case not Vert). I rolled up sheet metal (Home depot) to the size of the motor housing and used rivets, it fit right onto the motor housing. I also used AC/HVAC Alum. tape on the tube to seal 100%. It takes the hot air and moves it to another room. Now, the question is will it meet code requirements in your community.Just wanted to tell you that I had my Electrician add a switch (sim to light switch) to this motor. Switch cost 40 dollars, but it was worth it!

Horizontal mounting not advised. This controller is designed to be mounted vertically for the best air flow over the vertical cooling fins on the back. Leave 5+ inches clear above and below for warm air to escape. Might be able to mount horizontal using spacers and a fan(?) but vertical works best.

Yes, you can install it on the ceiling. Its housing is slight bigger than the existing fan I had, had to cut a larger opening to fit it in. Make sure the tube fitting is the correct size.

Yes JP it can, but you might want to put a light weight of some kind ,ie: a heavy book, on it's base to keep it steady on higher speeds. The fan is relatively light weight and can be a bit tippy sometimes. I hope this answers your question sufficiently. I am overall very pleased with both of my fans.

No. It's a continuous-duty fan that runs very quietly and balances temperatures between two or more rooms. It's not a high-volume (CFM) fan, so continuous operation is part of what enables it to keep room temps balanced. It does have a speed control, and it is highly effective at about half-speed. I use mine to push cold air (farthest corner of the room near the floor) out of the "cold" room and into the warm room. Meanwhile the open doorway from the warm room to the cold room replaces the cold air with warm air near the ceiling. You could reverse the air movement...placing the fan high and pushing warm air near the ceiling from the warm room into the cold room. But this makes the fan far more visible. In my case, I was able to place the fan low...behind a night stand...and push the cold air thru the wall and into the base of a stairwell that ties into the wood-stove room. The more separation between the fan and the air flow in the other direction, the better. For example, if you put the fan above a doorway, the fan would move air from the warm room into the cold room, but the doorway would short-circuit the air flow and create a small loop into and out of the cold room that would not heat the room well. I've been using my fan for years, and I've yet to fully disassemble the cabinet and clean the fan blades or motor. It's very durable, quiet and effective...my neglect notwithstanding. I simply vacuum the intake and exhaust louvers occasionally, because the get quite dirty (wood stoves are dirty). I turn it on at the beginning of the heating season, and shut it off in late spring.

I'm very satisfied with the fan. It's relatively quiet, good air flow and looks nice. It should do fine in a room of that size. You may have to run on the higher speed.

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.

I wouldn't recommend that application. This fan is made to move air from a case or cabinet not to exhaust a bathroom. It's not big enough

The fan can physically be mounted vertically but I am not qualified to comment on how this could affect the reliability or life of the fan. That would be a question best left to the manufacturer.

No. The hole would need to be enlarged to 10+ inches for the main body of the fan. However, the hole needs to be quite a bit larger than that to install the brackets which run between the joists. It may be possible to work from floor above. Keep in mind you may need additional wiring for all the lighting options.

Yes, we use ours for that reason. We heat with a wood stove and place the fan on the floor pointing up towards the ceiling. Temperatures are much more uniform and comfortable.

Yes it can , I have two fans running off of a speed control, and it works great

The way we have it installed there is a separate wired control knob that we installed that can be placed anywhere you want it. We also installed a thermostat that will cut the fan on at the desired temperature. We love the fan and we are able to move our air conditioned exterior wall room to an interior only wall room without any ductwork. It works great!

As a replacement unit for a vent fan, yes (assuming 2X6 joists above with vent duct and power line in place). It would be a real trial of luck and ingenuity to install afresh, running in both power and duct.

No, The fan only turns 1 direction with 2 speeds, if you install it the other way the air will move from the cool side to the warm side. Perhaps you can you feed the cord through the wall to get it to the other side, but beware, the cord is not very long.

I don't see why not cause it is made for bathrooms and bathrooms make a lot of steam . But the company tells you to install it upright just for that reason. The fan works great, pulls a lot of air and is quiet. I don't think that you will have any problems at all. Good luck

No, this is not the fan for your application. You need a centrifugal fan. Just use that phrase in Amazon "search". They're more expensive than this one, but they'll do the job.
