Can this fan be used in a window that is a vertical slider, instead of horizontally, as in the photo?

I wouldn't see why not. I looked at it and I would only have the one end that's goes on the bottom "in this case the side" to have just the end cover with the lip and not the extensions for it, you can use those for the top only. It's flat on ether side of the fan. Just to note the shudders open when the fan starts.

Although Eco Breeze is designed for a double hung window (vertical slider),we do have customers using it in horizontal sliders.

No. It is for safety reasons only. The fan is meant to be installed to the inside of the window's bug screen.

You had my curiosity up with this one so i did put this fan in my window vertically and had no problems. The fan fits perfectly in my window track very snug and has a place for the cord to fit so it does not get pinched in any way. the electronic part goes on the left, and the right side fits snug into the window track. the window screen gets a little pushed out either way but have had no problems at all. Good luck, really like my fan.

It is actually best in a window horizontally. However, my window is not wide enough so I have it mounted vertically and it works just fine that way as long as I am willing to deal with reading the different speeds sideways. If I was able, I would to mount it horizontally.

I don't see why not. In our application (ceiling fan), they are installed in a horizontal position.

Yes, My Daughter uses it in her bedroom that has slider windows. It comes with the kit to install and vent into the window.

I can't imagine why not. Running them in the horizontal plane, unless i'm mistaken, is more efficient and easier on the fan.

Hmm, not sure. I guess it would depend if your window opening was big enough. if it was you may be able to mount it sideways. The fan must be mounted to the window frame with screws. maybe you can contact the company and ask them.

I was wondering that, too, Blake. It seems that horizontal window fans are difficult to find. Is that because it's best if you can block off the rest of the window? Anyway, I am going to order the fan for the convenience of having a remote control and the reverse capable fans. I'll tape it in, if nothing else! :) I will post a review after I have used it.

This meant the unit fit quite snugly from top to bottom, but there is a fair amount of "open" space on the sides. For my installation the open space on the sides isn't an issue. I wasn't trying to block in the entire window opening. I just needed to put something in the opening to move the air in/out. The only downside, if you want to call it that, is that the temp display is now sideways.

To the extent that the unit is about 6" in depth, it does "jut" out from its plastic frame on both sides by about 3" each side. There is a slider that accommodates the width of the window space in which you would like to place the unit. The entire unit fits into the frame of your window. It is ideal for vertically sliding windows. Just slide the window open, place the unit inside, and slide the window pane in place gripping the top of the fan's frame. The unit also fits in horizontally sliding windows--in this case width becomes height. Very versatile and user-friendly fan. Quality for the price.

I have a window that goes up and down. Depending on how tall your window is, it would work. If it is a window on floor level, I don't think I would use this cooler with those types of windows.

I see no reason why not as long as the mounting screws are secure. I have mine mounted on a window frame at the top so that the fan sweeps downward. The fan has a two screw mounting system where you lock the fan onto the screws. If you mount it on the ceiling you might want to check it once in a while to be sure it hasn't loosened.

t don't see why it cannot be mounted vertically unless that position puts more wear on the bearings in the fan motor.I am very happy with the one I bought and installed last fall.

I'm sorry but I didnt try mounting it horizontally and it's now in a position which makes it difficult for me to remove. However, I don't see why it would not work mounted horizontally since I have other brands of computer fans that are mounted horizontally and blowing upwards.

The manufacturer(TPI Corp.) does not recommend installing the Shutter-Mounted Exhaust Fan anywhere but directly on a vertical wall. The shutters would not be able to open and close properly if installed at an angle.

Yes. My windows slide sideways to open and close. The problem is that the spacers that they give you to block the rest of the opening might not be long enough to fully block out the outside air so you may need to buy some plexiglass from a hardware store to ensure a tight seal.

The feet have metal plates in them with pre-cut mounting 'key-holes' for screws (screws to be fixed to the wall at either studs or with anchors). The fan can be mounted in only one orientation (controls on the 'up-side') due to an automatic power cut-off. Therefore, check the direction you want airflow to go, then check to see if the fan as mounted will work in that direction. If not, the fan-blade housing will rotate 180 degrees to send air in the opposite direction, but would look (and would be) turned backwards.
