Can this be turned down as it exits the wall? It must go through a second story floor and then turn 90degrees down to vent out the carport ceiling.

I would say it cannot be turned down because if it were, I think both the outer dome and almost certainly the inner cover would open, defeating the purpose of the sealed design. That is my best guess.

There is a plastic piece inside that floats up and down with air pressure from the dryer to seal out outside air. If this vent closure is turned 90 degrees this vent closure will not work as designed.

I don't think that would work as I believe there is a ball on top of the exit pipe that rises when the dryer is on. The cover is removable to clean out any lint that collects. Best option is to call them as I couldn't find anything on their website to help answer - toll-Free: 888-772-2345 Mon-Fri 8am-5pm CST

Not sure the top might fall off, picture right under the circular top, that is where the dryer air vents. I think the entire thing will install upside down, but not sure how well it will vent. Gravity hold the top part to the assembly as well. Its too cold to go out and look!

Hi. The unit has to stay vertical as shown in the picture, as there is an inner piece that will automatically raise (float) to let the hot air flow through. When the dryer stops, the inner piece comes down to block the opening (with the help of gravity). If I understand your description about rotating it 90 degrees correctly, so the lid of the unit is (pointing to the right), this will defeat the purpose (as the inner piece will not come back down to close the opening). I know it's hard to explain, without having a diagram to show you. You might get away with a 45 degree angle, but a definite maybe. Do a search on google for these words "heartland 21000 dryer vent closure" then click images, you'll see a diagram that shows the inner workings of the unit (you'll see words Air Flow in black box at top of picture).

Nope. There is an interior lid that raises to allow air to escape when to dryer is on, then drops to keep out drafts and critters when the dryer is off.

The top of the vent is not attached, it just sits on top. There's a separate cup inside that the air blows up against that cap. The air then escapes out below the cup and through the bottom of the vent, which is open. But no, I do not think you can turn it upside down. Too bad though, it does work well.

Not quite, but it will go to a very steep angle. You will love it. It moves a great amount of air and is whisper quiet at the lowest speed. I used mine to move heated air from the ceiling during winter, and will now use it to move my air conditioned air from the floor during summer.

Yes. The pull chain is the switch. But be sure to pull the chain straight out parallel to the floor, and to moved the chain to one side or the other to close the vent and turn it off. Otherwise the mechanism hangs up.

I think as long as you turn the top so that less vapor is directed toward the wall and leave it on a lower setting you'll be fine.

Yes it can. You have to cut hole in wall and install outside vent. I did it my self. Got outside vent @ Menards. Nice unit.

Don't know if you still need an answer, but yes, you can turn the vent on end and use it in horizontal windows as well. There's a flat panel with a hole in it for the hose to go out. Depending on the height of your windows, you might need something to block any open space - the panel isn't huge, built more for regular vertical windows. I've used it in a regular window with the screen in place, no problem (although you'll want to wash the screen when you remove the unit for the year - it gets a little fuzzy circle where the air blows out. I've had this unit for a year and LOVE it, great for a room or two, or a small apartment. Doesn't raise my electric bill through the roof either.

The fan can be adjusted to fold backwards, so if you put it on the floor it would then be aiming upwards. It does not go more forward than 90 degrees so unless you prop it up from behind on something it will not direct air downwards.

A small amount, just turn on the vertical oscillations and when it reaches the lowest point turn off the vertical oscillation. This fan can also be mounted on a wall. The base will sit flush with the wall so then it can go from straight down to level with the floor. Hope that helps. Steve

there are 2 little spring arms on either side that need to be pushed back.. you have to do them both at the same time..then sort of work it out of the vent.

They hold on using magnets so if it's a ceiling vent no. If you have a strong air flow from a floor vent it might not stay in place, stay upright. Works with metal vents beautifully.

Yes if it's emptied. I also turned mine upside down. You have to disconnect it from downspout first.

It goes straight up but not always straight back down, especially if the space is outdoors. We have not tried it indoors as it would collide into the ceiling.

This unit is designed to be vented outside. Hopefully you already have the duct connections to an exterior hooded vent. I've seen it vented to recirculate in an attic space, but that's definitely not recommended and isn't code-compliant in most jurisdictions. I have 2 of these in my own home and just put 3 in my parent's home. Love it!

Sorry to say, no. It has spring clips (for want of a better term) that have to be set for each section on both sides, as the ladder is being extended. Think that's why it failed for that one guy. In a pinch you might be able to do this, but it would mean being able to reach down two feet and that doesn't take into account being able to open the hatch door which is designed to be locked from below.

Yes, it needs to be vented out the window. It comes with an adjustable vent support to set in the window. Otherwise you will be adding hot air from unit to room you are cooling. I am very satisfied with our unit for cooling our second floor bedroom.

It has to be vented yes. Where you vent it is up to you I suppose. If you want to push your hot air up there you can.

It will go down pretty quick, but you have to push it back down, it won't go back to the original(zero) placement without pressure
