Does this fan self seal to prevent reverse drafting when it is not being used?

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. Hope this clears this up!!! Mark Innovative HVAC Systems, Inc.

Yes it has a back draft damper to stop any back drafting when not in use!!!!! If venting through roof I recommend using a Broan 636 fan-jack, it also has a damper to stop the cold air at the roof line so condensation won't take place. If venting through wall use the Broan 885 wall cap, it has a spring loaded damper and comes with a 4-3 reducer. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!MarkInnovative HYVAC Systems, Inc.

I don't think so. You can do that by using the roof vent with exhaust flapper.

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. The shape is maintained by a fan, and when one sits the air flows out if necessary.

The fan is a puller / pulls air thru the cooler. If you create even a small box frame to sit between the fan and the cooler, you dramatically increase the cooling efficiency of this small cooler. The box should be sealed against the cooler and fan so it does not draw air from other than the cooler. Don't know why the guys at B&M; don't do that.

If you are using the stock fan, then no. It has a thin film preapplied to the fan.

Yes it does. It's normal position is at 90 degrees and you can push the fan back to whatever angle you want.

I have found no places where bearings can be lubricated on my fan. I assume then that the bearings are sealed.

Yes!! There is, and there is a great stopper-plug that comes with it for the times you don't wish to use it so it seals up the space for the plug - no drafts or leaks here!!

My fan is installed in a covered area of my deck. It is open on two sides and overlooks Lake Martin. We had a previous Hunter out door fan there for fourteen years with no problems. It was not a cast iron Origional and it had become rusty but was still running.

As previously answered by two others... Yes, there is a reverse switch on the fan motor housing.

Yes, but the vent has a "flapper" that closes when the horizontally-mounted fan is not running. The closed "flapper" acts like a valve to help prevent outside air from seeping into the room through the vent. The flapper valve is located in a plastic housing that connects the exhaust plumbing to the fan's metal enclosure. The plastic flapper housing is a permanent part of the fan housing. to the fan's metal housing. You can attach the flapper housing to the fan's metal enclosure several different ways, which may accommodate your application. If not, remove the flapper from its housing during fan assembly and install an aftermarket in-line flapper valve in the exhaust plumbing nearby where the aftermarket valve can work normally.

Yes, by pulling the rotation pin. It's the same mechanism that most fans use

It "pulls" air FROM the ductwork. It is not an exhaust fan. If you want something that flows in the reverse direction you need to buy an exhaust fan.

Yes. There is a knob under the fan cover, very easy to remove and change. You get to choose how long the fan runs once it is activated. I had the electrician set it and then changed it a couple times, very easy to change this yourself. You also get to change the strength of the fan - I ended up letting it run longer at a mid-range level of draw.

Yes it is very easliy removable. I like the product except for my fan has never worked.

Yes it does, easy to install with an cordless drill and screw driver. Allows you to leave vent open during rainstorms or for extended periods when storing rv. Will work with Fantastic Fan but it does restrict air flow slightly, But that's the only minus, it works well and I would install again.

there is a switch that allows it to reverse direction, but it is on the fan itself.
