I have a 8" galvanized pipe extending up from a storm shelter ceiling, can I mount this fan over the 8" pipe?

Hello, If you could send us some pictures of the pipe height we could better answer you question. The vent opening is 8 inches and it sounds like a perfect application for our product but if the pipes are to high the vent would not sit down properly on your deck. Thanks for your inquiry.

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.

No, you will be required to run and connect the electrical wiring and duct from above. Also, it is much easier to install the unit with joist brackets or direct joist attachment (for close joists) when working from above. This unit uses a 4" duct, whereas most existing duct is 3-1/2"...if this is a replacement. Most states, by code, require that an exhaust fan must be installed with a duct to the outside of the home. The unit can be covered with standard attic insulation, as it generates virtually no heat (no light).

No it can not. But, if you cut down the extension rod to the minimum length it will actually hang down less than a traditional looking flush mounted fan. What I did is a little bit of trial and error, trimming down the rod a bit at a time until i had it as short as possible. What limits you is the upper "cone" must go on first and then you must hook the fan to the ceiling bracket prior to securing the upper cone. A little tricky to try to explain, but I think I got the rod down to 2.5" or so in length.

You would have to see if you can find a mounting plate adapter for that size or fabricate something yourself. (My vents are in the ceiling.)

I would not mount them on the outside just for the reason that it would shorten the life of the fan as it would more than likely get water in it even if it were protected. If your opening is large enough to trim a little of the sheet metal from the edges of the fan and mount it "recessed" from the outside wall face a few inches it will be out of the weather especially with a decorative cover. That is the method I used and have had no issues.

Yes you can. The device is recommended to mount between 8' and 12' ceiling.

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.

I would install a louver on the outside over the wire mesh to keep rain/snow out. The wire mesh keeps unwanted guests out. Frame the fan housing if needed but don,t remove any structural members in your attic. This fan works very well for me in Las Vegas,NV. Good luck JR

I used a 1' rod on this fan because I installed it on a sloping cathedral ceiling. Other lengths of rods are also available.

This is a large fan, better suited for a high ceiling. I wouldn't use it with an 8 ft ceiling.

8" ductwork is needed with these fans. Mounting brackets are included. They also come with one 8" adjustable clamp that can be found at any hardware store or home depot if you want another one. I would definately get some silver foil duct tape to make everything have a nice seal as well as 3" screws to hold the fan in place.

I wouldn't think you could because the end going into the fan is threaded and the ceiling end is not. My fan is 12-13 feet above the floor and I don't have any problems with airflow (heating or cooling). I think if you could extend the rod, you may have problems with sway, but I do believe you can buy longer rods. Just my thought

Hi Ed, Thanks for the question. This fan requires a minimum ceiling height of at least 92.5" in order to meet building codes, so you should be fine because 8.5 feet measures 102". Also, this fan cannot be flush mounted, but again, you should be just fine with your ceiling height. We hope this helps! Ed, if you have any other questions, or would like to place an order, please reach out to one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, they'll also be able to give you the best price over the phone. Oh, and they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now :) Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

I would say no. This fan mounts in the wall. It fits through the thickness of the wall and vents directly to outside, using no duct. If you need to use a 4 inch vent pipe, I would buy a fan made for that application.

The fan opening required is only 13" in diameter. The 14.25 inches that you have now is No Problem. Make sure that the 13 inch opening is centered between your beams. The fan will then be set over the 13 inch hole on top of your roof deck. Then your shingles will be installed over and around your fan flashing. READ the furnished manufacturer instructions shipped with the product. Good Luck

I used preformed roof flashing to fabricate a mounting bracket that allowed the fitting to that sized opening when I installed mine BUT I don't know if that unit meets the OSHA specs for a kitchen exhaust fan-----you'd better check before you try it. This fan might not be rated for that use.

I used the same size and length of pipe to mount a weather station to the side of a building. It has held up great, but you will have more weight at the top. Just seperate the mounts further apart and it should hold up as well......
