Can this be intalled in a ceiling vent?

Yes, we have eight installed in ceiling vents throughout our house. I love these. They paid for themselves in two months. The only improvement I would suggest is a remote!

In principle yes but it needs to be secured to the vent. In my installation I simply pushed it in place and I am not sure if there were any hardware in the package.

Yes you can screw it into the ceiling but I did not so i can not speak on its durability once secured in place.

Yes it can; there are ducting kits available. I purchased the unit for wall-mount and use a charcoal filter, but you can get the ducting kit as well to vent through a wall or ceiling/roof

Well, it mounts magnetically. If the unit was metal around the vent, it could work. However I would think this would cause the air to shoot straight up or straight down as you cannot adjust where deflector aims.

We have it mounted from the wall. If you have a connection in the ceiling it can work. You have to ask your plumber or installer

I'm not quite sure how you would mount this on a pipe? Are you talking about using a pipe as a vent?

Probably. The vent system is mounted to a 1' square of thin metal (aluminun I think). Simply bend the sheet over your vent stack, attach with screws.

Yes, provided you have space between floor and ceiling. You actually insert it through the hole where you intend the light fixture or fan to be.

Possibly, but I don't think the manufacturer intended it to be mounted that way. You'd need to contrive a way to keep it from falling out of the duct opening. As well, there usually is no electrical outlet nearby at the ceiling level. Better might be to get a different kind of unit, such as an In-line booster, with an air pressure switch to sense when the furnace fan comes on. Trickier to install, but more likely to do the job correctly.

It will not hold if screwed into sheetrock only....I am sure that our ceiling beams and a purchased bracket for mounting were used to mount the vent. We had to use it as a recirculating unit, rather than vented to the outside. It was a big job to install and our electrician did most of the job. He special ordered the bracket but I couldnt give you more info. We have had the unit for 2 yrs and I amvery happy with it.

No--it is larger and heavier than it appears--it would break your vent. I bought two and they attach to a table or shelf.

It can be ceiling mounted as is, but not where there is insulation contact or contact with other materials. This unit MUST have free air space around it.

Yes if it fits in the space properly. I believe this one can be configured to vent to the outside of the home or just back into your kitchen, depending on what the configuration of your current fan is like. Ours doesn't vent to outside of home so we just set it to recirculate.

Yes, if your a proficient spray painter. If you pay for shipping, I'll happily send you mine, as I decided to install a new fan kit all together so I never used the vent.

Yes you can. My brother has one installed in a room and uses it for that purpose. You need to be careful with how high the ceiling is.

Sure can, just make sure the damper will open freely. If not, rip it out and make sure to get a vent cap that has a damper. Mike Mbradyelectric

I don't see why not, as long as the vent is the same width as the vent. You will have to tape it against the wall if you're looking to extend it up the wall.
