Can it be used with attic fans that aren't Nutone?

Yes. It is hardwired into the wiring to the fan. I currently have mine wired to an outlet where I plug in a big box fan in my shop. It has worked well for several years.

I wouldn't see why not. This unit basically turns on and off the flow of electricity. I would think you could use this for any fan. I don't believe my fan is a Nutone.

I use it with a cooling fan for electronic equipment in a motor home. It can be easily wired to thermostatically control any 110 volt electrical device.

This thermostat is basically just a switch. It works on 120 and 240 Volt heaters so the fan load would not be a problem. But this thermostat is "on" (switch closed) when there is a demand for more heat. I assume you want to cool the house by use of the attic fan! So, this thermostat will not work in its current configuration.

NuTone's website indictes 2.0 sones. You could also check there to see if you can compare the dimensions. I didn't use it to replace another fan so don't know. Good luck

No! I did install it as a retrofit and had no access to it from the attic but I had to modify the fan box to mount it securely because I could not use the rails. Also trying to wire it from below is a major pain (bad design) and trying to attach the roof vent to the fan with no attic access is a real hassle. I am fairly skilled and using this for a retrofit is not for the faint of heart. It is in and works great now but...

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.

It would work great if mounted in the attic and ducted, might be a little noisy otherwise as it moves a lot of air.

Absolutely. The fan hangs from the ceiling support. This is not a flush mount fan.

Yes. This can be installed as a low profile fan if you purchase the shorter 3 inch extender tube and use it in place of the longer tube that comes with the fan.

Yes, you can. These are two separate small electrical fans that come installed in a common metal frame and connected together to work as one. You can detach them from the metal frame where they are fastened by 4 metal screws each one.

I would agree that the answer is a no. That is not the intention of this fan and not a proper use of this style of fan.

That would work fine. Just make sure you feel which way the fan is blowing and turn it on the appropriate side to blow down.

Yes, you can just use the fan. Please refer to the owner's manual for information.

I wouldn't. The fan is very weak and probably wouldn't put out enough air for what you're trying to do.

If you saw it down you could. I think it's a waste to do that unless your really having venting issues out of the pole. You could cut the vent down to an inch above the singles then mount the fan over it.

I wouldn't see why not. I looked at it and I would only have the one end that's goes on the bottom "in this case the side" to have just the end cover with the lip and not the extensions for it, you can use those for the top only. It's flat on ether side of the fan. Just to note the shudders open when the fan starts.

I don't see why not...... as long as there is a filtration infront of the fan.....

I'm not really sure. I was told If volts are same you can use it. Doing pretty good on my attic fan. Wish I would of went bigger. 4 bedroom house to much square foot.
