What would the rough opening need to be for this fan?

The rough opening is 17 1/4" by 17 1/4". For more info go to http://www.bvc.com/Installation%20Instructions/IF%20Oper%20Instr.pdf,

I cut a 16 in. dia. Hole to mount the exhaust fan. I have a block wall, once the circular hole was made I mounted the fan and then placed the louvers on the outside wall. Iam very happy withe the exhaust fan. I also used a rheostat to control the speed of the exhaust fan.

It's 13 x 13 3/4, Bitsy. It should cover your opening but you may need a small piece of sheetrock depending on the mounting. It's a nice fan/light.

My fan is installed in a covered area of my deck. It is open on two sides and overlooks Lake Martin. We had a previous Hunter out door fan there for fourteen years with no problems. It was not a cast iron Origional and it had become rusty but was still running.

Good question! mine is already installed, so cant measure the rough in. Amazon has an easy return process though, just in case :)

We had someone install the fan for us, so I can't answer you exactly. I do know they thought they were going to need to install certain vents but then were able to use the vents that were already there (which were the original vents of the house that was built in the 70s).The fan works great!

Hello,With screws... there are two key holed opening on the base of the fan.

I cut a hole about 10 1/2 x 10 1/2 in order to squeeze it in. I had to remove the exhaust flange and insert it 1st in the ceiling in order to fit everything through the opening since I had very little height to work with in the ceiling. That was probably the most difficult part but everything went back together well and the fan performs very well. Here is a link to the installation documents. http://www.ntsupply.com/files/products/whisperfitliteinstallationv4.pdf

That would work fine. Just make sure you feel which way the fan is blowing and turn it on the appropriate side to blow down.

I don't have the exact specs anymore. But, mine fit tightly in a standard small frame outdoor fan. had to jiggle some wires around to get it to fit well.

Not a problem, like all of these fans this one is heavy so the only install issue is getting it on the hook so you can do the wires. Any medium strength guy should be able to do it.

don't bye that fan its nasty. but if you have you just needa screw driver. Just the legs need to be put on. I hate this fan it was expensive and never worked as well as an older model I have.

No problem at all. I think the problem with the other customer was installation. Make sure you follow the directions. It's a good quality fan, you won't be disappointed.

I don't know for sure. What you really need is a specialty fan hub removal tool and a big Crescent wrench. Look for the special tool on the internet....one manufacturer is Lisle.

You should pull air out of the back of the case. If you look on the edges of the fan there are arrows that indicate air flow direction . use this to help you install.

The inlet would be hard to measure once it's already installed and the metal is folded in the extreme. I'll try to remember measuring the outside for you later.

You may have to scab in the connector from the old fan (solder or wire nuts will work)

This will work for this purpose. Be sure to use silicone caulk between the metal parts of the sleeve or there could be a lot of vibration while the fan is running.
