I have vertical duct (2nd floor, duct goes straight up). Read spec on broan.com that it is for horizontal duct direction. Is it vertical duct capable?

The Fan Exhaust port is to the side so I'm not sure it you can use it or not.

Yes. Works better vertically, but will work horizontally too. Quality of signal will depend on distance from the transmission tower.

the owners manual says not to run it in vertical position.vertical position is for storage-so it takes up less floor space.hope this answers your question.

Yes, they can be mounted any direction. For your purposes it might be better to use one with higher CFMs. There are some that move 200-300 CFMs for a little more money.

if you do decided to mount it horizontal just be sure the reservoir is pretty much completely full, other wise if there is a lot of air on top, im pretty sure you will suck in more air then liquid, again I haven't tried this out myself, as mine is mounted vertical but when I was building it I did try to tilt it horizontal but I never turned to pump on.

Felickz, I guess I misspoke about the size of the vent piping size, Which this fan does vent 6". I also recommended using the Broan 636 fan-jack but meant to use the Broan 634 fan-jack for roof installation or if venting sidewall use the Broan 843 which both have a back draft dampers.

Hi - not sure about where the number came from but yes this unit discharges from the front and there is a tab you can punch out on one side to connect a duct to.

I don't believe it will work with vertical vents. It needs the horizontal slats to grip but check to see if your vertical vents don't have horizontal slats behind them. If so, it could possibly work.

I found the spring to be very small and fragile in appearance, but as long as you arrange the hinge to be standing vertically (as shown in the picture), the flaps will close all the way. If you set the hinge horizontally it may hang open just a bit. As you know, using the damper in a vertical duct is the best way, yet the included installation paperwork suggests a horizontal duct is possible as described above.

Yes,it can be vented horizontal or vertical,with the included hardware. Very good unit for those of us on a budget. Arrived well packed and undamaged!

I was running it on my work bench vertically. No problem. Be aware if you are using it for a duct fan that its on the loud side because it moves a lot of air. But for the money it is a good unit.

No, I had to purchase an adaptor at HomeDepot, and once fitting it on, it really took up the small vertical space I had to deal with. I gave feedback to GE on this poor design, but received no reply. I actually ended up with an adaptor, then a couple of 6" duct-elbows and put aluminum flex-hose between the two elbows. Not the best approach to use flex, but I was out of options and space!

I replaced a fan/light of different type without needing my attic access. Check the dimensions of the Broan and the dimensions of your old fan. Also compare the size of your existing exhaust pipe with the Broan.

Yes - it won't work on vertical vent slats, only horizontal. It the vents themselves are vertical rather than horizontal, it shouldn't matter, as long as the vent is wide enough for the two clips to fit in, but the little slats that direct the air from the vent must be horizontal.

Horizontal..... NO. It is a "Drop Plunger". When garage door goes UP, the "Plunger" drops out the bottom and then sends a signal to reciever. When door hits ground, plunger is pushed back into sender and shuts off alarm.

It isn't designed for vertical use. It is designed to be used with double hung windows. I suppose you could jerry-rig it to work with a casement window but it wouldn't be pretty and you may find the hoses aren't long enough.
