can this fan be used with a lamp cord with a split switch and plugged into an outlet?

Hi Sharon...this fan does not plug in. It has to be wired into an electrical box on the ceiling. It does have a cord but that is only used to turn it off and on and the same cord regulates the speed. Hope this helps.

No. It is designed to be wired direct and securely attached by a ceiling junction box.

While it is recommended that you use the included switch these fan can be wired manually according to the manufacture instructions.Thanks,-PasuTech

This is how I use it, but you'll need 14/3 wire from the switch to the fan to do this. (Usually black + red "hot", white neutral , and bare copper ground). Most switches are only wired with 14/2 wire which only has one hot (no red)

The fan did not have a cord and plug with it. I used the old one from the fan I was replacing. There are instructions on how to wire it if you are inclined to do it yourself. I hope this helps.

I'm not an electrician but it works fine with my porch light. I would think that if your exaughst fan runs with a switch that it could. I did have to email the company that I bought mine from as the first one they sent was faulty but they sent a new one right away and didn't even request for the faulty one to be sent back. Hope this helps.

Yes, if the light is on an outlet. I use it to turn on a desk fan remotely in my motor home.

We hooked ours up with separate switches - one for the light and one for the fan as most of the time, we don't use both. So sorry, I don't know the answer to this question.

No not unless you rigged a toggle switch to the power. But each fan is a seperate plug they are not all wired together

The fan takes 1 incoming set of wires for power, so it gets powered on (light and fan) with a single switch. You might be able to rig something, but it's not built for it out of the box as far as I can determine.

Yes. I have a lamp and a recliner with heat/massage plugged into a switch. No problems so far. I 'm not sure about how many amps a switch can handle before it is overloaded. Items drawing high amps (I.e. Heaters, toasters, coffee pots, electric kettles, etc.) may damage the switch if too any are connected.

The only way that you could do that is to wire an outlet that was controlled by the switches. You also would not be able to use florescent bulbs in the lamp.

Hi Bob, I can't think of any reason you couldn't wire in a lamp cord. Use a ground wire since there is a grounding nut you can use.

I don't see why not. Just make sure you use a 4 wire connection to run the fan and light separately from the same single switch(es). Or, if you are using separate individual switches then I guess you'd be alright as well wiring each.

I wouldn't see why not. This unit basically turns on and off the flow of electricity. I would think you could use this for any fan. I don't believe my fan is a Nutone.

Short answers is no. If you don't have a seperate switch in the same location that controls the fan then you'll need an electrician to run an additional wire from rhe fan to the switch box.

Although you can wire the fan and the light separately, it is not necessary. Both can be connected to the same power source.

You need a separate switch. Fan has a small junction box with knockouts for wiring connection.
