Inline Exhaust Fan
Exhaust setup Can you use an inline fan as an exhaust blower?
Can an inline fan be mounted to basically hug the wall (or as close as it can be) so that it is the *exhaust blower* without there being a "line", with out their being any ducting on the other side of it? And if so, instead of it hugging a solid wall, what would that be called that makes the fan connect to the hole in the wall. The grill? or the register? or flange? or whatever?
Yes, you could use an inline fan as a thru-the-wall fan, however if you are venting over a stove or venting flammable solvent/fumes, the fan would need to be a sealed, explosion proof unit.
Mounting flanges would need to be attached in some fashion, along with some type of protective grill that would prevent fingers/hands or other things reaching the fan. Same would be necessary for the outside & probably some type of outside cover that would close when not in use.
Good luck...
