Is it OK to use this fan to handle exhaust from the kitchen hood via existing 8 inch dia duct?

I agree with harold, this thing has a huge outer housing as well you have to account for.i would say no

We had an old house with a previous similar through-the-wall fan (inside faceplate, no range hood). The stud wall had lathe-and plaster inside (replaced with new plasterboard) and original wood siding and rock-hard cement stucco outside. The old metal sleeve was slightly distorted, and the old fan also had the switch on the fan inside faceplate. There was some assembly and some minor cutting and fitting required,. We used the old wire to pull a new electric supply wire. So, while it was a direct thru-wall replacement for us, it did have some minor installation fit-work -- never unexpected in an old house. I can't picture your "attachment to an existing 8" duct." You will need to fabricate your own adapter and details -- not impossible but custom fit-work. Are you abandoning the inside face-plate and switch? If so, you might look for some other in-line fan-unit. If possible, download the installation manual (for detailed pictures) before ordering -- or inspect one locally. I agree with others: Why adapt this model, when there are others built for your (in-line) purpose?

Would not advise using this particular fan in a hot grease exhaust atmosphere because it does not have a sealed motor and the fan blades are not metal.

I put under stove exhaust fan while using. Assuming you have vented range hood.

You would need to run a exhaust duct think it is four inch. It doesn't need to be insulated.

I don't think so, because you are constricting the air flow. It won't work at a 100% efficiency. I really don't know to much about duct work. I hope that helps.

I wouldn't recommend that application. This fan is made to move air from a case or cabinet not to exhaust a bathroom. It's not big enough

you can use any fan you want as an exhaust, (excluding radiators for closed loops etc)

The Fan Exhaust port is to the side so I'm not sure it you can use it or not.

They make cabinet kits for them so I wouldn't worry too much about it. I would guess a one inch clearance for the fan exhaust would be sufficient...

The flow through this unit would probably be too large to be used this way. A better choice might be the "Panasonic FV-10NLF1 WhisperLine 120 CFM In-Line Fan, 4-Inch Duct" unit Amazon sells. I use the 120 cfm unit as an exhaust fan on a switch for a single bathroom. I use the 240 cfm unit as a vent fan on a timer for four rooms. You will probably need to connect the power to this unit through the furnace controls so that it is switched on and off with the furnace.

This fan puts out a lot of air flow - I use it to vent humidity from my home's basement. For that volume you may want to a "duct booster" fan which has a quarter of the air flow.

The fan is rated at <.3 sones into a 6" duct. You could buy an adapter for 4" duct but that will increase the static pressure of the system. This fan is designed to compensate for the higher pressure by increasing the speed of the fan to maintain the CFM rating but it will cause increased noise.

I'm using as exhaust for a cat box area. I have mounted it outside with about 12' of flex. the sound you here is air being drawn in.

I have an 8" fan and it works fine. I'd have to check the maximum air movement, but I'm almost sure it exceeds 265 cfm.

Yes i have one going into my tent with 8 in duct for frsh air. And one attached to my two 600watt hps hoods pulling hot air out. Great fans my have been running for over a year straight with no noises. Every 3 months pull apart and dust it. I recommend using a reducer on the end of ur hood thats sucking air. It creates higher flow rates cetered over your bulbs. Make sure to use ladies leggings over the reducer abd over your intake fan to keep dust out of the tent and off ur bulbs. Gl brotha hope i helped.. toke on

If anything, I would think it would help not hurt. The exhaust outlet is so small that it wouldn't take away from any other outlets you may have. I run a cooler also, and have no issues...?

4 inch and larger would work I went with a 6 inch fan. Openings are adjustable to the size you need. 8 inch is probably maximum size it would accommodate without an adapter.

I installed one of these as a bathroom exhaust fan--used a ceiling vent plate that had a 4"duct nipple (you can use an A/C ceiling plate) and then ducted it into the attic to the TD-100 and then more duct to the house ridge vent. I used regular Romex 14-2 with a ground from a timer to the fan. The fan has a connection box on it to make the connections using compression screws that are all supplied.
