I'd need for this unit to vent out the roof (no attic). My HOA won't allow the current hole to be changed, which is 3". Will a 3" vent hole work?

Not sure. The vent is on the top of the unit and is a fixed size. Not sure if you can reduce it. The venting is a big deal with this thing--it has to be done right. If you are going right thru the wall the vent has to be pitched down otherwise you will need a way to get rid of the water that is produced while the unit is running.

A 3" vent hole will NOT work. The outer diameter of the vent pipe used for this unit is 5". There is a side vent option also, if your HOA will allow that. The side vent option is still a 5" hole though. I hope this helps.

No, you need a min of 5.5". The pipe contains both the intake and the exhaust.

Best advice is contact a plumber. In my area the plumber told me it had to vent out an exterior wall according to our building code. They couldn't use my existing vent.

No. I don't think so. My 3" went in pretty snug and with a few turns it tightened up against the pipe. You could call General Wire and make sure but I would say no.

I doubt it unless you have 2 X 6 studs you might be able to flush mount it and exhaust it into an attic with a 4 inch flexible dryer vent hose.

Hi Jeff, I have not installed the fan yet so I couldn't tell u the exact size of the hole needed. Im waiting for the cooler weather to do the install. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

The plastic insert where the vent goes is approx 36" long x 4" wide, so it would never fill up the space of a patio door. Hardware stores can custom cut heavy plexiglas for you to fill up the space above or below where you place the vent, or you can probably custom cut a piece of wood - which wouldn't be as attractive. Would strongly suggest a couple security bars on that sliding door to prevent anyone from getting in the house! The unit needs to drain water it removes from the air either into a bucket or out your door, and the hose on the back of the unit must drain downward. The unit works well......

I doubt it-the roof vent frame is a lot thicker from top to bottom as you can see in the image-and requires a multiple layered roof to be able to fit-I would suggest checking out flat vent covers that have a mount frame that fits flush to the roof-or you might consider a side vent

No. There is a 3-1/2" dia. hub that projects about 3/8" beyond the back face of the vent. The 3" dia. pipe slips inside the hub to make the connection. A 3-1/2" hole through the wall sheeting or through the entire wall will make the vent connection work. Good luck.

i believe it will take either but 1.5" seems like it might be more than you need. You don't need a J=mount for the attic because your sloped roofline is what the J mount is for - in the attic, any piece of vertical pipe or dowel will work.

Yes, the unit is designed for the hole to be cut between roof rafters. There was 2 options I believe. 16'' & 19" space between rafters.

Vent only has to pass through the wall about 1'. Do the best you can to mount unit where you can vent straight out a wall and not be below a window, door, or in a stairway... Hope this helps...

I bought this for my RV floor vent. When I went to the local hardware store they had nu.erous sizes. That was a small town store so I am quite sure Lowes or Home Depot or Ace would have all of those options and more. Amazon usually has anything I need that may be an oddball size . I did not see that size for you here. Good luck. Have a great day

Technically this is difficult to answer, without seeing your exact set up. The big issue with these is that they do have specific venting requirements, with special pipe etc. If you can satisfy those, you should be good to go as the unit itself does not put out a lot of heat (ours is a 2 person household. YMMV if you have this running for hours keeping up with multiple showers etc.) Our hangs in a relatively tight attic "crawl space" in condo - and very satisfied.

The hole is 3" in diameter. You can see the specs at http://tinyurl.com/kv6audw. Check it out. Hopefully this will answer your question. Good Luck.

I used it to replace a ceiling outlet of the same size and simply used the old screws to attach the new unit. It has screw hole locations that you simply finish drilling out. I hard wired my unit into the heat pump, A/C system so it comes on when the air handler comes on. Works fine.

Felickz, I guess I misspoke about the size of the vent piping size, Which this fan does vent 6". I also recommended using the Broan 636 fan-jack but meant to use the Broan 634 fan-jack for roof installation or if venting sidewall use the Broan 843 which both have a back draft dampers. Hope this clears this up!!!MarkInnovative HVAC Systems, Inc.

Check the length and be sure. I had to cut almost an inch off the stem and then re-drill the air vent holes. Not easy.

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.
