No, the fan does not include ducting. We do have ducting that can be purchased separately though. Thanks & please remember to shop with HEALTHY HARVEST FLORIDA!! ;)

no ducting included. I use mine as a remote attic fan to vent humidity and smell from bathroom without the sound. Large shower with many sprays and lots of moisture, work real nice. Does have a 6'ft cord that's it.

I purchased longer, hex head screws to attach it to the closest two by four that supports the ceiling. Since my previous fan used 3" ducting, I purchased a metal 4' to 3' round reducer to connect the fan to the existing duct. A 3" duct is louder, but it still does the job!

These fans are really quiet. But this fan does not move a lot of air and it can not be mounted to a metal grate as an intake. Their is a magnet in the fan that will pull the blades toward the metal in the case if mounted as an intake.

If you want to get technical, you will want to know the CFM (cubic feet per minute) of the fan you are using. If you have a 6 inch and a 4 inch fan with the same CFM, they will vent the same amount of air. You will need 6 inch ducting to attach to the hood, but that does not necessarily mean you can only use a 6 inch fan. I rigged this up to a lasko blower fan from walmart (~$45) and it does well.

Yes, AND to pull fresh air return. The rear of the cooling unit has 2 airflows, exhaust and return. The duct fan will assist with both airflows.

No. I had two of these fans and they are very noisy and fell apart within 6 months....the only saving "grace" was that I got them with my points I earned...

No fans cone with this case. Depending on the size of your motherboard and video card, it can mount intake and exhaust fans in the front , top , rear and bottom of the case. I transferred the components of a gaming computer into this case and was able to install four fans.

My fans came with chrome screws for attaching to the case. They were cheap screws though. I recommend using the screws that came with the case.

I guess it came with some ducting I did not install myself so I do not know.

My handyman installed it so I can't say with 100% certainty, but I don't think so. I am pretty old fan was powered on and off by the pull from the fan. I love the fan, very pretty and super quiet on speeds 1 and 2. Speed 3 sounds like a tornado it's moving the air so fast. Four hands are needed for some of the install.

No they do not have cooling fans installed and as suggested in the forums, they get really hot. Mine came with a 8PSK module but I had to do the physical installation.

Best to use a piece of duct to connect them using some clamps or zip ties i find canister to heavy to directly bolt on to the fan and the ducting quiets it down some and you can also move the canister if necessary.

You can turn one fan around. You will not have success cooling an enclosure that way unless you create ducts both inside and outside. Otherwise you will just be circulation heat and wasting the energy used to run the fans. May even shorten the fan life with excess heat.

No, you will be required to run and connect the electrical wiring and duct from above. Also, it is much easier to install the unit with joist brackets or direct joist attachment (for close joists) when working from above. This unit uses a 4" duct, whereas most existing duct is 3-1/2"...if this is a replacement. Most states, by code, require that an exhaust fan must be installed with a duct to the outside of the home. The unit can be covered with standard attic insulation, as it generates virtually no heat (no light).

The walls would have to be studded with 2x6's. Walls are typically studded with 2x4's. I installed mine in the ceiling that has 2x6 joists, decked over for attic storage. The fan housing did not obstruct the decking above. The issue will be access on both sides for installation and routing the duct. I recommend going up with the duct unless you plan on cutting a 3 or 4 inch hole through each stud in the route to the intended exhaust vent.

I've not had a problem...as others have said, be certain that fan has area free for air flow.

Also by the way are these fans going to be mounted on a radiator if so get these and if not get the air flow not static pressure.
