Can I use this to vent 2 bathrooms? How does the unit block the the exhaust from bathroom 1 going to bathroom 2?

Bill,The bathrooms would be on the intake side so if the fan is energized it would pull from both bathroom.Eric

I didn't bother. It can be done with electrical inline shutoffs and relays and such. It isn't worth the extra hassle and expense. For the amount of time it is in use, I just let it vent both bathrooms.

The blower draws air in from both bathrooms to a Y then discharges air to the outside. It would have to be hooked up backwards to blow air into either bathroom.

As Ray said, the intake duct to the fan would need a Y connection, and both bathroom ducts would connect to that. When the fan runs, it would draw air from both bathrooms at the same time.

You can probably get a slim filter behind it, but will probably inhibit air flow. Screen pulls down easily and can be rinsed. I have it for the intended use in a shower. The volume of air this unit moves is great. I wouldn't want to see it get blocked up with hair as that might damage the unit. It can't hurt to give it a try just keep the unit and exhaust cleaned regularly.

Unlike a "vent," this wouldn't remove the smoke from the kitchen or filter out cooking smells; it would just move the smoke to another part of the room. Probably not what you have in mind.

I use mine in the hallway outside of our small bathroom. It seems to do the trick. Instead of an exhaust fan, just use a small desk fan in the bathroom while showering.

I have it within a few inches of the back wall. I don't think there are any restrictions about space around the unit, although my sauna is open on 3 sides, the outside doesn't seem to get too warm. Check the manual. The vent for the sauna is in the roof. There are narrow windows on each side near the front, which you wouldn't want to block.

No, it doesn't. It pulls in thru the front & exhausts thru the back. You have to give it space to 'breathe' off of the wall... Still works well though in small bedroom.

The unit is designed for unrestricted air flow. Placing the unit on its front or back will disrupt or stop this air flow which probably cause considerable damage to the unit itself. Not recommended!

It will slightly restrict the airflow just because it has parts sort of in the way, but air can easily flow past those parts. If you need to block airflow more thoroughly, you will need a separate mechanism to do this.

You can connect however many outlets as long as the rooms don't exceed the c.f.m.'s of the fan. Otherwise you'd have to go up in fan size. I had to purchase the grill separately.So far it works VERY well. I have a larger than average size bathroom. All you hear is the slight wind noise from the vent sucking air. VERY QUIET!

You can keep your window screened. The vent doesn't go much farther than the window. I love this unit. It's small but cools very well and it's easy to set up.

Sorry, but don't know. I've not noticed any problem with it's use & there is usually enough make up air coming in around doors, windows & other bathroom vents not in use. It's a great vent and does a great job. Hope this helps some.

It moves a lot more air than a circular fan and it will get the air around the room. Sounds like you really need and exhaust fan for a bathroom and this will just blow the air around it will not remove it from the space.

Depends on which way you place it. You can have it push or pull air. I have two in my case now, one as an intake and one as an exhaust. The side with the Corsair label is where the air is pulled from, opposite side is where it's pushed out.

Air blows out of the front . It pulls the air from the vent and into the room . It can not be reversed unless you are mounting it from the inside . If you are trying to push air through the system . So it does exhaust into the room .

The unit has a fan that makes noice when venting to prevent from getting hot when use.Hope this helps.

We do have a window in the room where the warm air vents. From the outside of our house you really can't see the vent. Overall, I would not recommend this unit - it is big and clunky and difficult to drain the water from (which happens often) and for its large size it only cools the master bedroom and not even really the adjoining master bathroom.

This unit can be installed with or without external vent. If you can not install external vent just do not do any changes. It will exhaust from it top front through a charcoal filter which is already installed by manufacturer. Aman
