would it be possible to mount this fan above a window, and have it hang down front of the window, so as to blow air outward?,

I doubt that would be a good install method because this fan is made to mount in the upright position. It slides down over the mounting bracket and if it were upside down, gravity and vibration would cause it to fall.

This is a GREAT FAN! However, I DO NOT KNOW if it can be mounted. I suppose it could if you had the correct mounting equipment but I just can't say for certain. I can say this fan is VERY GOOD QUALITY and definitely worth the money!

It's a good question, it is a very powerfull fan, so long as your aware of the dimensions, and the need to secure it. I initially put it in the window, but found it to be too large and too noist, ended up installing it in the ceiling ventint through the gable. great fan though, just check your dimesions.

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.

You may need to purchase a different base but the fan itself would be fine. The mount inside the base will allow for an angle but the cover may be difficult.

Yes. I have modern double-pane windows with the screen integral to the window, and it's no problem. The fan mounts well to the inside (room side) of the frame. In fact, the window doesn't even go up quite far enough to clear the fan, and it's still okay, although in this case it is not easily removable. You have to mark screw holes with their template and screw it to the window frame... a bit of a pain. But it is a powerful and quiet fan.

It would move air, but what is your intent? If you use it as an exhaust fan you would have to move air from someplace else in the room (open window). If used as an intact fan, then it would make a positive pressure environment if no outside vent/window/door is open.

The fan does not come with pipes to extend the fan down so you would need to buy that separately. You would have to customize it

I think it would be possible. My only concern would be stability. The top of the fan is about 2" wide which helps anchor the fan into place when the window is closed. The sides are much thinner and I would be worried about the fan tipping over or the sides possibly cracking b/c they are flimsier. That all being said, you could certainly McGyver it into working out.

Not inherently.. you might be able to modify it somehow to do that, I don't know.. but as it comes, it's only an exhaust fan..

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, you can. two key for this: a. exhaust ducking as big as possible. b. distance can not too long, otherwise exhaust fan will not enough power to push hot air out.

I don't think that would work very well, but I guess you could build something to mount it. You would need to make sure it has enough ventilation or it will burn up.

Not unless you wrap some short of strap around the canister also. But it is possible. It comes with a mounting bracket for the fan.

No. It is for safety reasons only. The fan is meant to be installed to the inside of the window's bug screen.

I would have to say 'no' unless you did some serious modification of the window as the depth of the fan would extend outside the window.

If one were to place it on a wall with the back to the wall, the fan would have no way to pull air into it. In theory, you could mount the bottom on a wall and blow air sideways, but you'd have no way to aim it. If you need this feature, I suggest the Holmes model HAOF90-UC.
