is it possible to run vent for air leaving this thing into bath fan vent line?

Michael, I think you would have a problem with lint and moisture not being drawn upward and what would the bath vent do with the lint if it got there? I bought this for my fifth wheel, but it just filled the bed room with moisture.

You want the fan to push the air out of the exhaust vent. On my fan, the housing outlet is positioned so that if the fan turns one way, the air is blown into the outlet. If it turns the other way it isn't and the fan is less effective. I suspect most housings are similarly designed.

In most areas it is illegal, and unwise, to vent your bathroom into your attic, as it causes mold and rot. Bathrooms need to be vented all the way to the outside to prevent damage to your home. You are better off not having a fan than having one that vents to the attic.

If you mean being able to have a hood vent fan without a connection to a vent - yes

I guess you could. Not sure how stable it would be. There is no Vent on the top. I probable wouldn't tho (My own opinion).

Yes, the large round fitting you see in the picture is the vent to outside. you need to attach a hose, not included, or a piece of duct work from the fan outlet to an outside area.

If you have a standard fan unit, with the motor directly in the fixture, then no, don't do it. The fantech unit requires a remote location away from the vent opening.

You can do a flush mount. We mounted the fan in our bathroom. Eight foot ceiling and a standard door opens under the fan. Supposedly a down rod would increase air flow, but we did not have that option. The fan did help our humidity problem in a tight shower area.

Joe, you can do it, but it will reduce the volume of air that it is pulling through. By reducing it may cause problems with the fan in the future.

Yes if it fits in the space properly. I believe this one can be configured to vent to the outside of the home or just back into your kitchen, depending on what the configuration of your current fan is like. Ours doesn't vent to outside of home so we just set it to recirculate.

You absolutely could. I'm sure you're aware they sell vent filters that are the same cut out as the traditional vents in new homes, BUT, I believe this 3M filter would work better than the cheap ones they sell specifically for air vents. Heck I'm going to try it out as well...it's a much better filter anyway quality wise than any vent filter I've seen yet....as good as 3M is with a little cut and trim...can't go wrong. Go for it. I am...will keep you posted.

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.

Yes, it's possible to do so as long as you run the drill slowly and take enough time to do the job properly. Move the unit back and forth several times every 6 inches and pull the end free of the vent after every couple of feet. It might help also to be running air thru the vent as you're cleaning. I used my shop vac with the hose reversed. Messy on the outside of the house. . . . but it did the job

I would ask the manufacturer because I couldn't get air flow to work on mine and had to send it back. Good Luck!
