Can this be installed without access to the attic?

I imagine that would be very difficult, but not impossible. It would depend on the structure of the opening. If you had an opening that was framed with wood on at least two sides, it may be possible.

According to the manual, no. Manual states attic access is required. I returned mine for that reason and ordered the FV-05-11VKSL1 which is unfortunately significantly more expensive. I'd be curious to know how William Harris was able to get it installed without attic access.

The unit can be wired and set in place from the floor but you will not be able to position the exhaust duct without attic access.

Our contractor installed ours without access to the floor above, but you do need space for ducting to the outside and without attic access it will likely mean cutting out a chunk of ceiling. In our case, the ceiling was being replaced anyway but that could be a significant issue for some.

I do not have the instruction guide with me, but I am 99 percent sure that this unit warns you not to install in an enclosed space, that it should be free standing. I will try to dig up the owners manual to verify.

Yes, you can. I have mine in the attic with 3 feet of attic insulation. The signal is awesome even if i am on the street about 50 feet away from my driveway. This AP comes with PoE, utilized that and less wiring for you.

The attic is not considered outdoors. Your water heater in the attic most likely has a vent pipe. To mount a tankless heaters indoors you would have to use double stainless ducting. More importantly you probably do not have a 3/4" or larger gas line at your your existing tank. The sizing of the gas line is critical to make the tankless work. Outdoors you can mount it near your gas meter and will need no ducting. You will also need a 120V circuit for the fan for the tankless. Takagi tankless heaters are the best! No problems when installed correctly.

We had this installed professionally in two different properties. Both the contractors and electricians commented similar products by other manufacturers are much easier to install. It must be installed from the attic and because of its weight requires more extensive framing. Good product though.

I think you could mount it on a wall. Our electrician put them up right to run the cables through the attic.

Yes, It would work within your attic. We would recommend that you use two and set it on a solid surface.

I can only say that the pros who installed mine did need to go through the attic for the electrical connections. This fan/light/heater requires a dedicated circuit and they used the one for the jacuzzi they removed. I'm pretty handy, too, but this is not something I wanted to tackle, due to the electrical. It also needs a triple switch on the wall.

Mine is installed in the attic. Easy install, pretty quiet and works as advertized

I'm not sure what you mean by an attic ladder. If you want a pull down ladder, then I would say no. If what you want is a ladder that you can conveniently store in a closet, and use when you want to gain access to a hatch, then I would say yes.

I replaced a fan/light of different type without needing my attic access. Check the dimensions of the Broan and the dimensions of your old fan. Also compare the size of your existing exhaust pipe with the Broan.

I don't see why it would not be OK. depending on the temperature in the attic? it is like any other Hub it does generate some heat but as long as you have some ventilation it should be OK. there are cooling slots on the side of the unit for ventilation but this may cause a problem with dust and dirt in the attic? I have mine in a closet and you can not feel any heat from it at all. Good luck

Nothing additional needed. Just cut the hole in the ceiling and mount. Note, I had the luxury of being able to access from the top (via the attic), nonetheless, I'm sure you could mount this from with in the bathroom too. Good luck!

No! I did install it as a retrofit and had no access to it from the attic but I had to modify the fan box to mount it securely because I could not use the rails. Also trying to wire it from below is a major pain (bad design) and trying to attach the roof vent to the fan with no attic access is a real hassle. I am fairly skilled and using this for a retrofit is not for the faint of heart. It is in and works great now but...

Yes it does need to be connected to an outside vent pipe. So you do access to your attic

I never installed mine but on the roof is the best and I have had success with all sorts of antennas mounted in attics. Assume all necessary pieces are there for either 300ohm or 75ohm connections providing your receiver is so equipped.

You can, however, it will void any waurantee that you may have. If you haven't had any experience and want to install this yourself however, I would recommend watching an instructional video.
