How flexible is the duct? Is it possible to push it radially?

The duct is very flexible, but also very thin. I don't think it will take much abuse in the 'push it radially' department. But it will bend easily. I attached mine to a 90 degree elbow out the back of my dryer so it wouldn't crimp, bend, and close up. But if you are trying to attach it and move it laterally from the outlet (say left to right) I would say you'll be okay - as long as it's not too far, too quick. In other words, this is thin material we're talking about, not the heavier actual metal ducts you have have seen elsewhere. I worried about ti being so thin when I installed it, but it has held up just fine.

It is a bit noisy. I bought some rubber mounts and some insulation material to mount on the fan............I have not installed it yet but for sure the noise can be curtailed one way or the other........could also hang the fan and use short flex duct .......This size of fan with this much air movement is going to be noisy

I'm not sure I understand the question. The tubing is hollow (it can carry air) and it's rigid but will flex quite a bit without kinking. Hope that helps....

Though it is flexible, it will stay whereever you position it. Been using it for about 3 months now, it is very good and the flow is excellent!

Fairly rigid. I soaked it in hot water and was able to install it on a curved shower door.Definitely not very flexible.

Sorry, but this piece of plastic is fairly ridged. I would not try to shape it or make a radius curve.

I don't think so, because you are constricting the air flow. It won't work at a 100% efficiency. I really don't know to much about duct work. I hope that helps.

I'm sure you could push it with no problem at all. This is a nifty unit and well-worth the price.

When installed as directed--with all components unaltered--the minimum thickness is 9 inches. However, as other have indicated, you can reduce this further by trimming the metal components of the duct. In fact, if you managed to glue/seal the fan housing directly to the plastic vent cap, the whole assembly requires only 5 inches. So there are a lot of options to put this unit in a thinner wall. If you trim the duct work, just be sure you have means to tape/seal everything once it is in the wall. On the final step, the length of the flexible duct is what enables you to tape/seal all the connections on the exterior side before compressing everything back into the wall.

you could get it in but I doubt that you could control it. Also the antenna is way to long to function well in such a small duct. I'd recommend a smaller device.

Not flexible. But you could add some cushion to fit the lever if it does not fit directly

It comes with flexible 6 in duct. You would need 8 in to 6 in duct reducer.

I would say yes you can. It is flexible. It came rolled up and rolled out nicely when I installed it.

I have one, and would not try it as a tow point for the fear of it frlopping over. This duct is long and light.

Yes, it is a "snap" in installation. Mount the bracket and the fan housing just snaps in. I used 4" ducting and it is super quiet. It may be more difficult in a post construction application, I installed in an unfinished bathroom.

Yes, it's quite possible. No need for ducts, but make sure you have the carbon filters. If the filters are not installed, all the exhaust will filter into your walls/ceilings which is not good. Installation is pretty easy, but you also need 2 people because it's heavy. Also, if you can use toggle bolts to secure the vent to the ceiling, much more secure than the items they give you. It's a nice looking vent, I would for sure recommend.

No it is not to difficult but I do suggest getting a bigger size of duct hose and clamp because it is a little difficult to slip over the connection point.
