How thick wall is needed for thi fan? My wall is 8" thick and made out of wood and siding on the outside

It should work fine. The thickness can be adjusted (I don't know the exact range) but it can be extended with normal heating vents. The vent is very quiet and we are quite pleased. Our outside wall has wood siding on the outside also

I found the manual on line. Page 2 Panasonic FV-08WQ1 WhisperWall 70 CFM Wall Mounted Fan: http://panasonicvu.buildingmedia.com/studyguides/WWall_FV-08WQ1.pdf

I think it is made for the standard double wall (3 1/2 inch stud with drywall added inside and siding outside). I put it in a single wall (1 inch thick), by adding a frame around the outside of the hole. I don't know how you would fit it into an 8 inch thick wall, without some kind of adjustment to the wall.

While it may be what you're looking for, I wouldn't recommend it. This fan is not weatherproof and is also not sealed. It would allow both bugs and airflow to come in through the gaps even when it's not running. Plus many exterior walls are too thick for this fans maximum thickness setting. Good luck though.

No, Total diameter Including Motor is 56" You need at least 1-2' clearance between fan blades and wall, Hope this helps you.

depends on how thick the wall is. There are vents on the side that you don't want inside the wall. You'd need to talk to a carpenter/contractor about that. You have at most 8" of depth to work with between the face and the vents.

Pizza Man has all your answers, I also had to replace the "solid side" to fit a 36 inch window. But have been running this fan 24/7 for over a year and has been doing great. BTW, I'm pretty sure Holmes makes this fan so you may be able to get with them for a longer side extension.

We live in Michigan & bought our fan a year ago. It stayed outside, uncovered but next to the house throughout the worst winter ever and it stil works just fine. My only regret is not to have bought 2 fans.... Good luck!

By design this is an indoor only fan so it should only be used in fully enclosed indoor type space with walls, insulation etc... For outdoor use you would want a fan labeled "indoor/outdoor", a fan like this would be constructed with ABS blades instead of wood blades and the metal finishes and corrosion resistance properties would be more appropriate for an outdoor setting.

We don't use the fan because ours is in a semi open outside space and we've had zero odors from it. Yes, your right about the wall you have to give it about ten inches to work comfortably. aloha Kije

We installed it under a shed roof over our patio. It's about 10 feet high at the mount point. The down rod that comes with the fan is only about 4-5 " long. Went to home depot because they carry Hunter down rods. However, they didn't have anything that was close in color. Went to Lowes - they have Harbor Breeze down rods. Surprisingly, they had a 12" Harbor Breeze down rod that matched perfectly. Also had various sizes if you need one longer. No problem with the substitution of brands.

There is no bracket to attach this fan to a wall. You may be able to build a small shelf and sit the fan on the shelf.

My 2-door system is 2 5/8 inches from the wall. My solid wood doors cost me $400 and are just slightly less than 1 1/2 inches thick. So I say 'yes'.

I cut a 16 in. dia. Hole to mount the exhaust fan. I have a block wall, once the circular hole was made I mounted the fan and then placed the louvers on the outside wall. Iam very happy withe the exhaust fan. I also used a rheostat to control the speed of the exhaust fan.

Hi, the back of the unit is not finished so you will have to use it against a wall. Thank you so much!

With the aid of a screwdriver, the fan can be made wider. There are no truly separate side extensions. But, the fan can be made a good 10 inches wider. If you need more than that, I would suggest purchasing it's 20 inch cousin. For me, the 16 inch fan was sufficient with my double hung windows.

To the best of my knowledge, I would have to say, No. In the back of the fan is a safety grill, so to speak, that protects anyone from sticking their fingers into the housing that holds the motor & blades. In addition, there are no visible signs of being able to mount the fan on a wall. You could, however, build a very small lip type shelf, for the fan to sit on, yet, it must be in an area that allows for fresh air to come into that housing, in order to blow cool air from outside to the inside. Check the photos on the site to hopefully visualize what I have been writing here in this description. I suppose nothing is impossible but it is clearly not set-up to hang on a wall...Thanks, Craig Michaels To the best of my knowledge, I would have to say, No. In the back of the fan is a safety grill, so to speak, that protects anyone from sticking their fingers into the housing that holds the motor & blades.

I had it sent as a gift so I didn't see it first hand. I looks like the walls are no more than 5/8" thick so take it from there.
