Can I install this without cutting a hole? I've got about 12" of open space in the back of the cabinet, and I want to use it to blow air forward.

it's made to go in a hole as that is how it is constructed to be affixed u would need to make some kind of frame to suspend if this what ur looking to do

I really can't say but it sounds like it would work. good luck with it. hope it works for you. This product has been working fine for me. I have it blowing out the back.

I'm not exactly sure what you're set-up is based on your description, but if the back of the cabinet is open, then this would work but you may need to make some kind of custom bracket. The plastic brackets that the kit comes with work just fine, but they only fit a specific-sized opening.

You will need to find a way of holding it. It is not free standing, it is designed to be mounted in an opening.

You will need a way to vent the air out of the cabinet. You can point the device and in any direction to direct the air in a certain way, but you will need to vent it. Truthfully, you should have an intake and exhaust. A direction for air to enter and exit, otherwise you are still putting your equipment at risk.

The direction was blowing out toward the black frame so if you mount it from the outside, the air would blow out if the cabinet. It is very easy to change the direction by taking the mounting screws out of the fans and just flipping it around and putting the screws back in. And the system works great. Very quiet.

i guess yes you need to buy special non duct kit for air re circulation kit. do not remove top and back of air vent duct hole cover and just install air re circulation kit the air will be come out from top and I guess kitchen cabinet wont cover that holes.my best suggestion is just download installation manual from broan website and you will know exactly dimension and all stuff

yes, you can. two key for this: a. exhaust ducking as big as possible. b. distance can not too long, otherwise exhaust fan will not enough power to push hot air out.

Dunno, Mel, you may have to drill out a larger access hole, but experiment-it may just fit in!

Yes air should move enough and is quiet running. I would ensure vent in/out hole was there.

Well, the whole point in most cases is to get the air out of the cabinet, and suck in cooler fresh air. Certainly the fans can move air around inside the cabinet, but I would guess most people want to exchange inside for outside air which would require holes.

You would need to leave at least two inches of space on the left, right, and if possible the top. Also you need to leave at least four inches in the rear. Trim work will negate the spacing so it is not recommended. The goal is to passively get the heat from behind the unit and out of the cabinet.

Yes. This is very common. Any HVAC supply, big box hardware or probably Amazon will sell this. But it is recommended to keep the duct run at 6" for as long as possible to move more air.

Yes you can if it fits go for it but make sure it can still get air to the back of it.

The unit is designed for unrestricted air flow. Placing the unit on its front or back will disrupt or stop this air flow which probably cause considerable damage to the unit itself. Not recommended!

You can, but it might be a bit wobbly. Cabinets using this type of construction typically rely on the back panel for horizontal stability. There's a 2 inch gap along the top that allows some airflow for things on the upper shelves.

There is not an explanation of vent space required on the back. I suggest to call the factory and inquire.

If your vent is on the wall I'm sure you can as it's very light weight. You would have to tape the two pieces together at the length you needed as well and then the opening would go up it that's what you need.

Not sure. The fan at the back needs clearance so you might not be able to install that way

Hi Jeff, I have not installed the fan yet so I couldn't tell u the exact size of the hole needed. Im waiting for the cooler weather to do the install. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
