Can this unit be mounted outdoors. I have a sheltered spot near the sprinkler controllers. It wont ever get very wet but it is outdoors.

I would say "NO", due to being all plastic. I would say with dust, etc. being outside, the push buttons and knob would be effected.

Unit isn't weather proof, if you mount outdoors, it does need to be potected from moisture.

I've used mine outdoors for a year with no issue. It appears to be a pretty weather tight unit.

Hi Christine,I have mine ceiling mounted on a back porch. As long as you have a good deal at the top (silicone beed is what I used before tightening the more mount) I don't see where water would infiltrate. Very happy with the product durability and it has a good look to it. Hope that helps,Nick

It is not designed for that, and is not moisture resistant, so I would not do so. Units designed for outdoor use are designated as such by UL.

I have 4 of them located outside. They are not actually for this purpose, but I have had mine installed for 2 years and no problems. Just make sure you locate them in a dry (rainproof) location. I have mine under the eaves of my house.

Yes. I have one of this model outdoor under covered area for couple of years and it is working fine. As long as it does not in the open and could get wet you are fine.

The manufacturer says no. Mine is on an external pipe but it is essentially sheltered from any rain. Works great, easy to install, but I wouldn't put it anywhere wet.

It can be mounted on a roof or most any where near by. The only limit that I can see will be the ability of your pump to push the water. I would try it out where you want it before I mounted it.

Yes, it's designed to mount outdoors. There are two holes in the base that you can use to secure it to something.

It is made of heavy duty plastic, so the unit itself would be fine for outdoor use, providing you have a wall or surface that you can mount it on.

With instruction manual in hand, it states can be intended for indoor or outside use. It also states to install with weatherproof fittings if mounted outsided. Hope this helps.

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

I have no experience on this. However, I do not think that the unit is for outdoor use. Please consult with the vendor. All the electrical stuffs are up on top of the unit; and the cover on top is not water or weather proof. I also do not know whether the walls will withstand the outdoor weather. Please note that there are units for outdoor use.

No, this unit is not protected from the elements and must be mounted in a clean dry place.

Looking at the one I have, I don't think I would mount it without protection from the elements. Direct rain wouldn't do it any good. My manual that came with it said nothing about where to mount it, only leave space for air circulation. I'm using mine in a 5th wheel camper. Hope this helps. Great product.

I use mine in an unheated outside garage. They don't get wet or stand in puddles but have worked great on a lumber rack I made. JL

The only problem as I see it is getting secure electrical power to the unit that's mounted outdoors. Then how do you protect the unit from the elements? My answer to your question is probably "NO"! Perhaps this manufacturer makes an outdoor unit to fulfill your need. Good Luck!
