Could I put this over a square shaped vent? I thought I could use some kind of tape or cover to put over the exposed area possibly? Thanks!

I bought one, lasted 30 days, got another, did not work right out of box. Do not buy these suncourts. Spend more and get a good registar fan

I'm sure that you could And you can buy foil tape that will hold greatly on the exposed area.

This wrap is a great insulator. As long as the heat is low enough so that the plastic inside does not burn, it should work fine. If you are wrapping duct work it will work great. It is not for exhaust vent piping, which even double-walled would still be too high a temperature.

I believe you could with a plywood cut out to fit window exactly. I would buy a nutone kitchen exhaust fan for a through the wall vent very good

Might not work with a round vent because there is a stabilizing "third leg" on the bottom that helps secure the mount. It seems to work best for a square or rectangular application.

There is a vent on the top of the unit that the instructions implicitly say to not cover, so I'm guessing it would not be a good idea to enclose it entirely.

I had the same question back in the day & the answer was yes. Be sure not to cover side vents.

Interesting question. As pictured, the width is set but the length expands. I suppose you could tape it over the vent either horizontally to come out of the side of something against the wall, or vertically to extend above something against the wall. Just can't tell how well it would stick to the wall. Might need a lot of tape just because of the size. Hope this helps.

Why not just get the one specifically designed for the roof vent? That's what we have over the bed and it works perfectly. Also have the ability to draw air IN, or reverse the blades and suck air OUT with it.

My vents are in the floor, but I just took off the grate and taped it to the inside of the grate. Then I stuck the grate back down in the floor. Don't see why the same wouldn't work on a wall vent unless the vent is open on both sides or can't be removed.

The deflector attaches with magnets so it will certainly not stick to a plastic vent. You could try resting it on top of the vent but without the magnetic adhesion I do not think it will work as well.

I am using in door only, sorry I didn't tried it in out door and I have no idea about how to cover

I think the instruction manual says not to cover but I covered mine since it's two inches long and sticks out like a sore thumb in the clear glass pit. It just makes it a little harder to light right off but doesn't affect the flame source when it's lit. I've had my pit for almost a year now and love it.

I had painted ceiljng vents. This is very heavy material. I believe it was too heavy to stay. I don't believe the paint was the problem.

Bernard, not positive if you can do so. Best to contact the company. If you look online, you should be able to locate customer service. I vented ours through the window and it worked very well. My guess would be that you would need a good seal around the vent tube to do so.

Hi Petar: You have to be a little careful inserting it on the stem. It needs to be put on "square". Once put on correctly, and clamped down, it is very secure. If you put it on at an angle, it will not seal properly, and will leak air necessitating another try.

I use masking tape. It's ripped some paint off in the process, so in hindsight, I would have put a first layer of tape down and then taped the filter on top of that layer and then just peeled off of tape rather than wall. Eventually taking off that first tape layer may take some paint but it would be easier to paint over than the mess I've made. Good luck! Sounds like you want to use these like I do, to catch dust coming out of the vents I'm guessing. They work well for that.

It is not quite big enough to cover a standard outlet box. I would put a solid plate over the outlet box and then install on either side, preferably on the stud the box is connected too.
