Can the Broan 164 be nailed/screwed directly to the attic joist, like the old Nutone 9425FN that I have now?

I don't know for sure but...................since the cover to the room comes completely off, I don't see why you couldn't get a screw thru the side.

Yes, Dis-assemble, center in location and mark your hole. Drill using a good masonry bit and attach with a " Tapcon ...then assemble.

I tried mounting it on a joist but the alignment was off... I ended up just buying sheet rock anchors and mouting it between joists and it worked just amazingly awesome!

I haven't had a chance to actually measure the shaft, but it is about 1-1/4". I know its a perfect fit for Broan fan 679A, so if your fan is listed, I'm sure it will work fine. I'll get back to you when I have a chance to measure it. But it's a whole lot easier to install than a total fan/housing replacement.

I had an older version as well. Yes mounting is the same, but not to the extent that your bolt holes will line up.

It can screw directly to the box yes. But it's orientation will be defined by box placement. It might not be positioned as you like. Using the drop nut mounting will allow you to rotate fixture to align it as you like. It's one method or the other not both.

It needs to go into a beam. We reinforced a rafter in the attic directly above my sons room.

I secured mine to my standard metal frame, and it works fine. The screws you'll need are included in the package.

You would need to find the Nutone/Broan model number for the complete fan, then go to Nutone's website and look up the parts breakdown for the fan if it is available.

Don't think so. Only w/ new CH615. But better Check w/ Broan-NuTone. Careful tho, I've found that the newer model hose fit is very tight in the older NuTone wall inlets.

No, either the nut is missing or the holes aren't tap correctly if you use the extension bar. This is for lower bolts that attaches to the ceiling bracket. I'm returning mine. The instruction is horrible and there is no customer service telephone number I can locate. NOT RECOMMENDED.

I have 2 stack units in my house. One set were stacked directly on each other. The second unit I installed have a 1" offset. I ended up purchasing a second set of brackets so both units would match. I believe that any kit would work. But look under accessories for your specific model for the right kit.

The Broan 100HL is 15 ½ X 9 1/4 and it has a ½" flange around the bottom to fit against the drywall if you're old construction otherwise is gets covered. Note the unit requires a 20 amp breaker. #12 wire. It comes with mounting brackets to fit between the rafters. Good luck.

No... It's a big fan and needs the full diameter of the housing. But Broan makes smaller fans that may meet your needs bng

I drilled into the joists in the ceiling. It was a little tricky finding them...I had to get up into the attic. I finally straightened a hanger and poked it through one of the holes I made so I could orient myself to exactly where i was whether in the kitchen looking up or in the attic looking down. I was surprised to discover they were running the opposite direction than I thought. (By the way, a stud finder didn't work in my ceiling.) But once I drilled into the joists and installed sturdy hooks, it was no problem. It has been hanging securely for months.

Probably. For my project this simply guided the hanger bolt, but my hanger bolts were longer than the tiny space there plates have for bolts, so the hanger bolt ended up going into the wood behind the plate. That was fine by me. I just kept screwing until it was very secure.

No. I bought a long piece of aluminum channel and bolted it to the frame, and bolted the flaps to the channel, worked great.
