Is this fan "wet" or "damp" location rated? I want to use in in my very small 1930s style bathroom. Thanks............. :)

Agree-ask the manufacturer. I used it in the kitchen and it works perfectly.

This fan pulls air through it. I have it installed in an outside wall of a bath. Thus air (an moisture) is pulled out of the bath and is exhausted outside the house.If it were installed in the wall between the bath and bed rooms as you suggest, moist air would be exhausted into the bedroom - not a good idea because it could promote growth of mold.

I imagine one could use this fan as an exhaust fan for a bathroom but I wouldn't recommend it... it won't meet code and could pose a hazard as it is not grounded. A typical bathroom exhaust fan is about 50-140 CFM, this fan operates at 110 CFM. Also I don't know how well the fans electronics would stand up to the moist air if the said room has a shower or bath.

The fan isn't made for outdoor use. That being said will it have a chance to get wet?

Hi Michael. Thank you for your inquiry. This ceiling fan is UL Damp Rated. Usually, a fan should be UL Wet Rated for the outdoors. Although, we cannot recommend it for the outdoors, you may be able to put it under a porch or outdoors that would be protected from rain and the other elements. Please make sure you refer to their warranty. Hope this helps! LightsOnline

This fan is only rated for indoor use as the motors are not sealed for damp us and the blades are wood. Thank you, Mike H. Dan's Fan City

I believe it is only rated for indoor use. A fan that can be used outdoors always is described specifically as indoor/outdoor.

It is a great fan, but no: it is not waterproof. I would not recommend using it where it will be splashed, rained upon, etc.

It does have a fan only setting,and would work very well in a bathroom . I bought mine for my trailer for camping and am very happy with it.

Kathy, We used ours in the kitchen and although it is not totally quiet, it is reasonable and acceptable. I have been impressed with the quality of the fan. Pw

This is a cheap fan. I had a little heater fan that got a lot of lint in int, and I just sprayed it with fantastic and sprayer it off with the spray function on my sink (UNPLUGGED OF COURSE) let it DRY WELL and when I plucked it in i worked just fine. so what do you have to lose, just wash it if it doesn't work after but a new on.If it does work. let us know so we can wash ours too.

Sorry I cannot answer that as all 10 fans that I ordered are indoors. They are on the wallsof the church....they never got wet.

If you are wanting an outdoor fan look for "Wet" or "Damp" listed fan options! Let us know if you would like some options! :)

Hi Mark, I have this model installed on my screen porch. Screen on 3 sides. When it rains hard, I can get mist inside the porch, but the fan stays protected at the ceiling level. As long as the fan isn't exposed to direct water contact, I think you would be fine.

I have a 630 sq ft. bathroom and had the fan installed and vented by an electrician, but it just does not seem to move the air quick enough. I also painted the bathroom, but now the walls look like a melting candle, with the steamy water dripping and causing the paint to bleed. What gives?

Humidity and moisture are bad for electronics in general. Leaving it on the bathroom counter with the fan on would probably be ok.

I bought one recently for my bathroom to replace the fan in there. I have one in my other bathroom that replaced the old fan about 7 years ago and is still working. I'd say they work fine in bathrooms. At least the ones from 7 years ago. Who can say with the way everything is being made so cheaply now if the new one will last.
