Can this fan be turned 90 degrees and used " vertically" in a narrow tall window?

I see no reason why not. Installation horizontally or vertically would not affect the motor as the armature is wound 360 degrees.

It should work fine when rotated 90 degrees. It won't make any difference in terms of wear on the fan.The only problem I see is mounting the fan. All the mounting holes are on the adjustment panels which means they would be on the top and bottom when rotated. Also, the screws which attach the adjustment panels aren't designed to support the weight such that the fan will tend to slide offcenter until it reaches the end of the slot.

Yes it can providing the fan will still fit in your window.Be sure of window opening .Hope this helps.

It wasn't designed to fit in that manner. I would not try it. See if you can find smaller fan.

You should install fan within two feet of the roof ridge. You can rotate it in any direction you want and then adjust the angle of the panel up and down also.

If you have at least the minimum width for the fan as listed in its specifications, you can build a simple frame to hold the fan. I did this using 1 x 3 Red Oak and it worked wonderfully and it allowed me to use the Storm Guard feature to close my window when I am away. I went to the Air King site and they expressly discourage mounting the fan at a 90 degree angle to its intended installation. This is why I made a small frame within my sliding window casement. LOVE THIS FAN.

Yes, I believe the gate can be installed at all angles including 90 degrees. It's just a matter of getting the panel lengths right.

it can be done ...but with the slant on your ceiling may produce a wobble in the rotation of the fan

Horizontal is not, in and of itself, a problem. I think maybe you'd be better off having a pro look at the problem. This fan was NOT designed as a house cooling fan. I'm seeing lots of reasons for what I think you're talking about to be dangerous, and nine gazilion reasons for you to be unhappy. But horizontal will work.

Yes. This fan will aim from straight up to 45 degrees downward [135 degree range]. A quite versatile piece of equipment. Pulls air in from the sides and blows it where you aim it.

According to instruction, No. I beleive this is becasue the louvers are not designed for Vertical. The fan itself will work either way.

Yes. I installed mine vertically. Holds fairly tight. Just have to make sure the window is closed tight enough to hold it.

Yes, the fan position can be adjusted up & down. I have it located above me on top of a filing cabinet and I"ve chosen to point it upwards so that it pushes the air in room down and produces comfortable air flow without directly blowing on me.

I was wondering that, too, Blake. It seems that horizontal window fans are difficult to find. Is that because it's best if you can block off the rest of the window? Anyway, I am going to order the fan for the convenience of having a remote control and the reverse capable fans. I'll tape it in, if nothing else! :) I will post a review after I have used it. Another poster wrote:on May 3, 2011 6:26:01 PM PDT (regarding using the fan in the vertical position): TheyCallMeMcGyver says: Nothing says that it can, but I just bought one and I did just that, ie installed it vertically in a window opening 21" wide x 24" high. This meant the unit fit quite snugly from top to bottom, but there is a fair amount of "open" space on the sides. For my installation the open space on the sides isn't an issue. I wasn't trying to block in the entire window opening. I just needed to put something in the opening to move the air in/out. The only downside, if you want to call it that, is that the temp display is now sideways.

yes in will work upside down, high humidity is not a problem unless it condensates on fan which sould not happen when its on.

yea works great for that, I'm currently using it for the same thing. The fan has an auto shut off on it though so it can't be mounted upside down, or on any more then a 90 degree angle.

Yes it can. Both up/down and side to side. Really nice fan. Cleans easy as well.

I do not know if fan can be hung on a slant, my fan is installed on a level surface.

I would think not because it has to hang straight down; not from an angle. We ended up returning the fan because the light casts dots on the surrounding walls. Really tacky. We called the parent company Ellington for design recommendations. They were very helpful. www.ellingtonfans.com
