Can you mount this fan vertically instead of horizonitally?

You had my curiosity up with this one so i did put this fan in my window vertically and had no problems. The fan fits perfectly in my window track very snug and has a place for the cord to fit so it does not get pinched in any way. the electronic part goes on the left, and the right side fits snug into the window track. the window screen gets a little pushed out either way but have had no problems at all. Good luck, really like my fan.

I have no idea. I would call the manufacturer. It def. was designed to fit in a standard horizontal window. sorry.

Yes, you can. It is advertised as being able to be used either way, and also says so in the manual. I have two that are mounted vertically and have no issues with them. :)

Yes, it's designed for either horizontal or vertical use. We use it vertically (without the adjustable side panels). Fits snugly in the window and it works great! Very quiet fan too.

Yes, it can be installed vertically up or down as well as horizontally. I installed mine pointing down just as you want to.

Yes can be installed vertically or horizontally. No extra stuff - just need a few screws. The trick is to hid the wire required to power it. i have attached a 3 inch ribbon down the center of the frame and hidden the wire behind it. Actually looks sort of cool and not that goofy

I have mine mounted horizontally, but I don't see any reason why you couldn't mount it vertically.

No it can not. But, if you cut down the extension rod to the minimum length it will actually hang down less than a traditional looking flush mounted fan. What I did is a little bit of trial and error, trimming down the rod a bit at a time until i had it as short as possible. What limits you is the upper "cone" must go on first and then you must hook the fan to the ceiling bracket prior to securing the upper cone. A little tricky to try to explain, but I think I got the rod down to 2.5" or so in length.

Actually I just put it vertical and it would work. I love mine ( I have two )!

No...there is no way to change the directional flow of air. I even tried to take it apart to see if I could manually flip the fan and motor. This is truly for thru wall, room to room air circulation, not ventilation.

Yes. Although not sure if you can flush mount it. I would just go to home depot or lowes and get a shorter down-rod. The rods come in white and various sizes. Great fan by the way.

I am 90% sure you can. The motor is connected to a half circular hanging bracket which allows it to level out when hung on an angle. The fan I hung this weekend is mounted by a square and is definitely able to be hung on an angle.

I agree with idget. Unless you already have one of these, I'd look for a product designed for horizontal mounting. You could also just passively vent hot air into the attic and use this fan (at an attic gable vent for example) or your existing attic ventilation to send the heat from the attic to the outside.

Not if you have an outlet. If there's no outlet then run an extension cord or have an electrician put in an outlet close to the location you wish to mount the fan.

You can do a flush mount. We mounted the fan in our bathroom. Eight foot ceiling and a standard door opens under the fan. Supposedly a down rod would increase air flow, but we did not have that option. The fan did help our humidity problem in a tight shower area.

I don't think this mount was designed for hanging the CPU horizontal. If you do and break something, then I wouldn't go and complain to the manufacturer or to Amazon. The instructions are for mounting it vertical.

If you have at least the minimum width for the fan as listed in its specifications, you can build a simple frame to hold the fan. I did this using 1 x 3 Red Oak and it worked wonderfully and it allowed me to use the Storm Guard feature to close my window when I am away. I went to the Air King site and they expressly discourage mounting the fan at a 90 degree angle to its intended installation. This is why I made a small frame within my sliding window casement. LOVE THIS FAN.

Not sure. The fan at the back needs clearance so you might not be able to install that way

Yes, they can be mounted any direction. For your purposes it might be better to use one with higher CFMs. There are some that move 200-300 CFMs for a little more money.
