Would this material deaden the hum of an electric in-line vent fan used in a radon mitigation system applied directly on fan unit outside ?

It should help, just don't apply foam to impede ventilation or where there is heat build up. Make sure area to be applied to is nice and clean

Yes - I used to dampen the noise from a shop vacuum and it does that very well.

I think it depends on where and how the fumes are created and what they occupy. If you are thinking of using it for an exhaust fan in a spray booth this will not work. If you are looking more at venting a cabinet or small sealed area that you want a negative pressure environment then this would do that. This is a low volume type fan so it is really designed to create and maintain a negative pressure in a relatively small area. Hope that helps.

Its just a quiet hum. But didn't cool the tent that well. Think you would be better off with an electric fan if possible.

CAUTION:For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors. Read the user and instalation manual >>Nutone 8210 fan<<

My fan is still waiting to be installed so I can't honestly answer your question, but according to the ratings, the fan should do a great job on that small an area. I plan to install mine soon...........

I would say no; and if anything it won't be worse then a low hum. I used it in a small workshop with 1/4" walls and could barely hear it.

Have not purchased.Past experience with similar fans is that they have to be slowed down considerably to avoid humming sound. Also have to be mounted on heavy cardboard rather then wood to avoid resonance

The noise from the fan is not bad...more of a hum. Easy to adjust to...and not notice to much. We do feel it helps cool the second story very well.

That is not really what it was designed for. It is used to redirect harmful fumes from solder/desoldering in an enclosed area. A large fan might suit your needs a bit better, and less expensive.

It is an exhaust fan connected to a series of below-surface PVC pipes with holes. The suction and ducting provides a way for radon gas to excape into the atmosphere, as I understand it. I see no reason why it could not be used as a simple exhaust fan, but I am not expert. I can say that there is a considerable constant negative pressure due to the tightness of the ducting system, a negative pressure that would be absent if simply used to ventilate a room.

Yes as long as you have a sealed vapor barrier between the fan and the insulation

The fan has a low "hum"...not real loud, but probably would be suitable for white noise.

With this fan being mostly plastic construction, it would be ideal for the patio as long as it is not exposed to the elements (rain). The fan guard is all plastic and will not rust like the metal ones that also become a nighmare to remove also. Humidity is a killer for most electronics so you may not get the same life out of it compared to if it was located indoors. At the current price, it is a no-brainer.

It will create a noticeable current two feet away I don't know if it would work for an exhaust fan.

I would probably try their control before a generic rheostat.From what I've read they can induce hum, and possibly shorten the life of the fan. That said, I use a variac auto-transformer for my fan. I already had the variac, which I use for electronic repair. It works very well, infinitely adjustable, and is very quiet!This fan seems to be very good quality, and I am quite pleased with it.

Yes air should move enough and is quiet running. I would ensure vent in/out hole was there.

I used a grey plastic waterproof connector (from HD) and also that flexible waterproof plastic conduit (such as http://www.amazon.com/LIQTITE-CONDUIT-AFC-Cable-6002-30-00/ although I bought it at HD also). Incidentally, I have been running this fan (or one very similar) to exhaust radon for nearly 20 years non-stop (excepting power outages) with no issues. I use a manometer to make sure that the fan is still drawing pressure.
