I am wanting to use it to blow heated wood stove air down a hall to disrtibute it. Can I mount it upside down from a ceiling?

You're better off getting a regular fan. This fan is terrible and noisy and a waste of money. But the answer to your question is no. Unless you're crafty and can make something to hold it. Sorry :(

On inspecting my unit, it does not appear to have any integral moorings or loops for mounting. It is also very compact, so I'd advice against drilling into the plastic housing too. The fan swivels on a base no taller than a centimeter, too, so I don't think a third-party grip or mount would work either. If you had a sufficiently strong adhesive (and a way to cure it in that position), that could work; but I wouldn't bet the cost of a broken fan on it, not to mention the danger of it landing on the stove while unsupervised and becoming a fire hazard.

You can mount it upside down if you want a pretty upside down fan, but for air circulation this fan is the worst

Yes you can. Mine is on slanted ceiling I just cut a block to the angle and mounted to flat side of block . And it works awesome

I don't see why not. Although I did not install it myself. I had my electrician do it. Looking at it though, I don't see any issue with hanging it upside down.

It does not appear it w as designed to mount up side down but it does work ok in that position. It appears to have slotted type holes for mounting on the wall. If you do mount it on the ceiling holes would need to be drilled through the plastic base. I use the fan as a table mount .

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 could if you screw it into a stud. There are 2 screwholes for the top one for the bottom. So if you flip it make sure it is a sturdy screw and screwed to a stud.

Unfortunately no, as this is a 110VAC hot wire cutter. It would also be upside down in Australia, which would make it very difficult to use. Maybe mounted upside down on the ceiling with a 240VAC to 110VAC step down transformer would be a workable solution.

it will work upside down, you have to just cover the hole when turning it over.

If you mount it on a ceiling I don't think you will be able to point it straight down. I use mine in my garage; they are mounted on the walls and come on when I pull in.

That's a good question. I hung mine upside down with no problems. It is much harder to mount upside down from the ceiling that just setting it on a table or the floor and turning it on though. I would try it both ways and see what works best for the room you are using it in. Also, depending on the room size, you might try sideways from a wall too, although I don't think that would be the best bet. Hope that helps.

I would agree with the response by meggimoo. You need to compare the pattern of mounting hole locations, the air outlet dimensions, air volume and overall motor height which would be critical if the stove is standing near a wall. You may be able to play with the mounting holes by creating (drilling) new hole patterns on the motor mounting fringe according to the hole patterns on the stove.

Probably. I mean, it is horizontal in its natural orientation in that the wings expand sideways. I assume you mean could you mount it so that the expansion wings are up and down. Yes, you could probably rig it that way. This is a great fan.

yes, It can be mount upside down. Make sure you installed it on a stud. It design to go on a vertical wall, mounting it upside down I don't think the tilting will works well.

I don't think there should be any problem with mounting it upside down. Except of course that when you open it you are in risk of dumping everything in there on the floor...

It would defect the air but you would need to find a way to attach it to your ceiling. The plastic is quite thin but if you used a very small drill bit and drilled through the plastic and possibly put a rubber washer between the plastic and the screw and then screwed it into the ceiling, it would probably work.You would probably have to screw it in several places as remember it is now upside down so gravity would work against you if you didn't . One end is rounded so it closes off the end you would put over a heat register, the other is open to direct the air. Also remember to measure as this one that I purchased is for vents in the floor not a large vent in the celing.

No. The manual clearly states: "Do not install heater upside down or sideways. Heater must be located in the horizontal position."

Yes, this is sealed to the elements. This should be placed where airflow is present for cooling also. The instructions suggest mounting flat and upright but I have mounted these sideways without any problems. I guess it should work fine upside down. Coat wire lugs with Vaseline or dielectric gel. Let me know if you have any other questions. Chris
