Can I put a 90 degree elbow in the ducting ( above the fan housing) and vent it out the eave? I don't want to pt a hole in my roof. thanks!

It possible if you have large overhanging eaves, otherwise maybe consider a gable penetration

hole for vent needs to be 8" and the fan is centered over that hole with the metal flashing around the fan going under your roof shingles inside if you run duct use 8"round or 8" to 6" adapter

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.

It does require a fresh air intake as well as an exhaust. Attic air will likely be far too warm for heat exchange purposes.

There are some good websites with design advice. They recommend installation near the outlet from the house. This is their reason: If you put the fan in the basement and run a long pipe through the house, any leaks in that pipe may release gasses into the house. If you run a long pipe from the basement to the fan in the attic, any leaks in that pipe will draw air in from the house. The air that runs through this fan is very humid, and they say that in cold climates, ice in a long outdoor pipe above the fan can be an issue.

Makes sense to me. As with any dryer vent, the shorter the duct, the straighter the run, the better the flow. Also, use straight duct and elbows. Better than flex duct.

The ARC-14S can be set up to vent into a ceiling or attic space. Since the air intake hose is designed to bring in fresh air from an outside source, we do not recommend installing the intake hose for a non-window set-up. The intake hose can be capped and the unit will function like a single hose portable air conditioner. An additional exhaust hose and hose connector set may need to be purchased if the included hose will not reach the ceiling/ attic space. Please note that we do not recommend extending the exhaust hose longer than 9 feet. Please feel free to contact us at customer.service@whynter.com.

It has to be vented yes. Where you vent it is up to you I suppose. If you want to push your hot air up there you can.

Yes. This is very common. Any HVAC supply, big box hardware or probably Amazon will sell this. But it is recommended to keep the duct run at 6" for as long as possible to move more air.

Yes. You need to vent all the exhaust air out of your place or else the hot air will just recirculate in the room preventing it from cooling the room.

It can be configured to vent through the back or the top of the hood. You would have to install the duct and outdoor hardware to complete the job, (not included with the hood). I used it to replace an existing hood that vented out the back into a duct already in the wall and it mated up nicely with the old opening.

Yes, I have used mine on my dryer vent that has a 90 degree down for about 2 feet and then a 90 degree turn to go outside. These 90 degree turns are in traditional ducting so they are smooth 90s.

if it is installed horizontally i'm assuming you will have a 90 degree elbow to go vertical again. the 90 will be harder on the motor. i wouldn't put one if i could help it i think two 45 degree elbows would be better. the fan is best not to push the air into the elbows but straight up and out. peace, Todd

This unit in only suitable for protected outdoor installation. There is no way to vent the fumes through a duct, Noritz makes another model for that.

Yes, I believe so provided the dimensions fit. Although it does not require outside ductwork, it does need to be vented into attic or have a return air vent. It's worked extremely well for our needs. I had read that if you do heavy stovetop cooking, such as wok-type, a different system would be better. The only other thing I can think of is that your soffit might be too high for effectiveness. Ours is 32" above stovetop. They had a model set-up at Lowes that might help you decide.

It would go either I suppose even though I would not recommend attic dissipation. I bought two of them and went the extra mile installing vents on the roof connecting both ends with aluminum duct hoses. I had them for 8 month now and I'm very happy so far.

Interested also in a pulled air configuration. I want to use is as a whole house fan in my master bed which has a gable interior wall to attic. Im thinking of using a very breathable filter/foam material before the motor instead of this vent on the pulled side. The material will be visible inside the bedroom. On the pushed air side (inside attic) I will use this vent.
