Can this be installed from the outside? I only have about 30" between roof &amp; ceiling &amp; cannot get to there from inside my crawl space.

Yes, but your challenge will be identifying the exact placement of the hole that you need to make in the roof. The tube needs to fit straight in between the ceiling joists and the roof rafters. So you will need to be able to at least see and identify a straight path between the roof rafters and the ceiling joists.

We sit fairly close to the heater, but we have it on the back deck. Your ceiling needs to be very high. I believe that the company doesn't recommend placing it inside.

I have ours inside the garage, but would imagine it would be fine outside if you were able to anchor it down. It has scew holes for anchoring.

It's best to mount this close to the ceiling. On the back there is a 4 inch exhaust. This will need to be vented to the outside at that approximate height.

The whole item is made of plastic, so water should be no problem. Rain would have to blow horizontal through the opening in order to get in the crawl space, but have never seen that done or heard of it being a problem before.

It is entirely possible to install from the outside. Also, best to make sure to apply the face of the vent, with sealant applied to the flange. I installed two of these from the outside.

I checked with my son who installed our unit and he said he remembers thinking it could be installed from below if necessary. However, we were able to access it through the attic. So while I cannot say definitely, there is a good possibility that you would be able to install it from below.

We mounted ours in the garage. I don't know if it can go outside. It works well for us!

I haven't but as long as you have the height shouldn't be an issue! Only thing you might want too consider is a unit that exhausts out of the front instead of upwards? The reason I say that is if your crawl space isn't much higher than the unit it self. The amperage on the motor will be higher and shorten the life of the unit. Hope I helped something to consider.

Yes, I installed mine out about 3-4 Feet. Check the studs In your garage ceiling to be sure. It Is Independent of the wall but the controls hang down and they do have A wall hook to keep them out of the way.

Would not work, needs a wall behind. Suggest you look at the kind of caddy that comes on an extension pole, & pole reaches floor-to-ceiling. E H

I have done a couple of replacements from the roof. It is kind of tricky because there is not much room for your hands and tools. Be sure the power is off because the heat in the attic could cause the wires to become energized.

yes u can install on the outside of the hose. if the temp drops below 32 not good and the plastic will crack if water freezes. should make some kind of cover over the top of it if outside. i would also think do not put into direct sunlight.

I did install outside. Put it up under an eve to protect it from weather. I would recommend using a dome which you can buy at Amazon for less then 60$.

You can install this outside on your roof, or inside in your attic space. It hooks up to your tv with a regular coax cable. It's a very strong antenna. If you live out in the boonies, you might need a signal amplifier too.

The fan opening required is only 13" in diameter. The 14.25 inches that you have now is No Problem. Make sure that the 13 inch opening is centered between your beams. The fan will then be set over the 13 inch hole on top of your roof deck. Then your shingles will be installed over and around your fan flashing. READ the furnished manufacturer instructions shipped with the product. Good Luck

I am not an expert but based on the RoboReel that I installed on the ceiling of my garage, I would not recommend installing it outside. If snow and ice got into the coiloing area it may freeze the unit and cause the motor to shut off. I use my RoboReel for my snowblower, I just pull the cord outside my garage. Alternatively, you could mount on the exterior ensuring that you have a cover over the unit.
