I have an existing fan with the exhaust port on the rights. Almost all fans seem to show the port on the left. Can this be flipped?

Sorry I can't help with this question. I installed this when I was doing my bath remodel and the installers made some mods to my exhaust (my condo is 30 years old), and I wasn't home when they did it.

I mounted it so the exhaust port was on the left by turning the entire fan around. Had to add additional blocking to support it. No way to simply flip the housing.

like one of the other posters said, you can turn the unit 180 degrees but the outlet will still be to one side of the casing. i think it is all molded plastic so it is hard to change any part's position

I think the answer is no. However, detailed information on fan specs and installation requirementis are at http://www.deltabreez.com/Products/SLM50.aspx.

I've tried both ways and in my setup, it was better to put upside down to blow directly on the warmest component. The fans move a lot of air. Try it one way and then another and compare what feels cooler. Even better if you can measure the temperature.

You probably have two options. One is to see if there was a parts list included in the packaging. If so, you may be able to order a new one. And, sorry to say, the other option as a last resort would be to buy a new fan. I am going to assume though that there is a parts list. Good luck!

As Barry mentioned, user guide recommends to install this so the blades are horizontal and pipe is vertical, directly to the exhaust vent. Page 2 has a picture.http://www.fantech.net/Documentation/Air%20Distribution%20Products/401818%20RSK%20OIPM%20EN%20FR%20ES.pdf

It's a trick to fool you into thinking you're buying a reversible fan. To reverse it you have to pull it out of the window, turn it around, & put it back. Under those type or terms, all fans are "reversible" because they can all be turned around.

No, you dont. At least not in my setup, dunnow how is yours. Check where your fan is, and how it is installed. This fan has 4 screws just like the original

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.

Yes they can be used as intake and exhaust fans, but it depends on which way you face them. On the sides of the fan case there are labels that shows the direction that the fan turns and the direction the air moves. So if you want to make that fan a exhaust, just have that arrow point away from the inside of the case. Also vise versa if you want intake.

Hello! The fan has a switch on it to manually change the direction of the rotation. If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know! Lighting and Locks 1-800-334-5804

Actually, the vents might be on the side. I don't recall exactly. But you should be able to see the fan blades through said vents. I'll bet they're no longer turning.

I have the same problem sometimes. I think that I turn it all the way clockwise then back all the way to the left or just turn it until the fans kick on. Is everything installed correctly? Won't hurt to double check and make sure the temp probe is secure.

You just need to take the fan off of the frame, turn it over and re-mount to the frame. No need to reverse polarity.

No, I cannot reverse the direction of the fans. The fans only blow up toward the bottom of the laptop.

I installed a three-way switch so the exhaust fan was separate. I imagine there are other ways to do it.

Its an AC fan, so you can't reverse the fan direction by reversing the Hot/Neutral leads. For a DC fan, yes. But not for this one. I can't remember what the internals look like, but (maybe) you could remove, reverse and reinstall the actual fan. But I'm not sure. And then there is the back flow portion you would have to hold open, otherwise it would pull itself shut all the time the fan is on (reversed).

rig it lol. I have one rigged to the front at the bottom, I bent the metal corners of the black metal screen to hold it.No actual fan slot afaik.I would do intake from the bottom, just use something to screen dust.

Yes. You can have one fan intake and the other exhaust, there are switches for both fans.
