Is the flange of the fan stays below the sheetrock? Does the fan insert into the hole from below? The manual does not mentioned precut size.

yes on both question..we believe...it's been a while since my husband installed the fan. We are very happy with it. Also, Broan is wonderful about answering questions.

There is a template that comes with the fan that you place on the wall and cut around it. I don't have the dimensions of the cut out but it is roughly the size of the tube the fan forces the air through.

I have the longer size item but the width was accurate for the floor opening, specifically 4 inches with the flange close to six. But beware the "Non metallic damper controls airflow" feature. In the open position this plastic device blocked more than fifty percent of the airflow available from the vent. It was so objectionable in my situation that I went to the trouble of cutting and breaking it away. Even the diecut of the surface plate blocks about 20 to 30 percent of the flow. If I now need to block the flow, my only choice is to lift the grate from the floor and wrap a piece of tinfoil around the bottom opening. If you need true variable flow, beware of this design.

it fits over the existing Fantastic Fan. You unscrew 4 of the screws and screw down the included plates. These plates have posts that allow you to slide cotter pins through them. the vent cover can be removed without tools at any time.

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

I was able to fit it to the shaft on my motor by heading the shaft with a soldering torch and then pushing the fan on the shaft. Works fine. The fan comes with a plain hole, no spline, flats or thread.

Apparently yes. Manufacturer says, "When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities. That means yes (I think). Also, another reviewer installed it in a wall to the outside. Don't know about that myself - I mounted mine in a previous ceiling location, but it's a very good, very quiet fan.

This is an UPGRADE kit for an existing fan. However, the fan does fit in a standard 14x14 hole. But if you do not already have a "Fantastic Vent", this won't work for you. You need model 6600R/417, which is the WHOLE thing.

It looks like 2 inches the space from one hole to the next. that's where you screw it into the fan motor.

Mine was tight in a 1 1/8" hole. I held it up to a 1 1/2" hole saw and I say no. The flange would not be large enough. Buy the 3/4" one and bush it down if you have to.Good luck, Mike

Don't know, yet, sorry. I have not installed this fan so far. The one I already own has pull cords so I've got my fingers crossed!

It hangs from a short tube that's included with the parts. Altogether, the lowest part of the fan assembly is about 9" below the ceiling. We have an 8' ceiling in the room so it is comfortably out of the way. I don't know it can be flush mounted any higher, but one of the other answerers says there is a separate adaptor available to do this.

Is it new construction? The fan box is large and does not fit well in a tight spot. You have to cut out excess drywall, about 2-3'' more on one end of the installation area to fit the fan in the ceiling.

Yes it does. I would say about a 6-8 inch section of metal duct would need to be removed depending on the give in your duct work. If you have the flexible duct you might not have to cut any out. There are screws that will mount into the fan's base but you will probably need foil tape to get the best seal around it. I would recommend installing a thermostat switch as well so the fan will turn on with your heating and cooling system or hard wire it into your furance. The fan is seriously strong!! If will blast plenty of air into that kitchen for you. Enjoy your purchase, I am very happy with mine.

Yes, it does. It's a little more than 4 inches, actually. It's an amazing fan. You will really enjoy it.

I happened to have 1 new in box. The shaft extends 1 11/16 inches from the motor body. About 7/16" of the end of the shaft is grooved to retain the fan.

Sorry, I am in the same boat as the others that tried to help you. The sides of the unit are sloped and it did go in much easier than the more expensive hunter unit. Thanks to the shape, I had not problem with the fit on a standard Hunter fan. I am planning on purchasing 2 or 3 more units.
