Questions and Answers for Suncourt ThruWall 7-5/8 in. Transfer Fan

A:  Yes it can but note that the grill is not designed to be stepped on so be sure to mount it somewhere out of a normal walk way.

A:  The delivery was shorter than expected and had it installed within 1 hours works great

A:  Fan is designed to go through standard depth 2x4 wall not 2x6 plus flooring ceilings

A:  Yes you can use it to move air.

A:  I don't know why it couldn't be mounted vertically, but you would need to verify the length of the fan is less than the depth of the joists. The grill would need to be protected to make sure it isn't stepped on and damaged.

A:  It isn’t totally quiet but it’s not too loud either. We don’t usually use ours at night when we’re sleeping. It’s fairly quiet background noise during the daytime. It doesn’t bother us.

A:  The advertised noise level of this fan is Sones = 3 dBA, high speed = 55 and low speed = 49.

A:  Not bad at all,pushes a lot of air for its size.I use a https://www.sylvane.com/suncourt-plug-in-variable-speed-fan-control.html?s_cid=cse_gpl&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-L6BiuXW5QIVjIzICh0Daw5PEAQYBCABEgIFSfD_BwE.

A:  Low noise level. Not super quiet but very quiet.

A:  In daytime, the noise level is acceptable, like desk fan running at high speed. At night, maybe a little noiszy for sleeping. I think a fan speed controller may help by reducing the motor speed, but I am not sure.

A:  7.625"

A:  Roughly 8" the fan comes with a template to use for cutting purposes. Use the template when cutting the holes.

A:  The duct has a diameter of 7.675 inches

A:  yes you can see through the fan, not a good view since you are looking through the blades

A:  Yes. There is a motor in the center box you can see through the blades around the motor. The blades block your view but light will come through.

A:  Yes you can. It is not light proof.

A:  Yes, it is possible to see through and light does come through the fan.

A:  Yes, it is possible to see through this fan.

A:  Yes, but if you mount it near the ceiling, someone would have to be very tall to do it.

A:  2 speed fan, airflow is 155 CFM on low and 195 CFM on high

A:  the Home Depot site is clear. I don't know why this question is asked. 155 cfm on low, 195 cfm on high.

A:  It's about 50 CFM real world test on low. 78 on high.

A:  This unit has a 2 speed fan, airflow is 155 CFM on low and 195 CFM on high.

A:  Things to consider: 1) Does your local building code recommend for air removal (cfm)? Check on line or just call the local code dept. 2) This fan has a cord and face switch...most exhaust fans a wall switch. 3) Check air flow direction. I believe this fan will push air the wrong way for your application.

A:  I don't beleive this would work for you, not knowing what you are trying to accomplish. I used the fan for providing positive airflow to the back of my refrigerator to prevent another comp. failure. I don't beleive the fan would provide enough airflow to effect the air circulation in a room that is 20' x 20'.

A:  The low speed may not deliver enough air for this area, particularly older homes with inadequate insulation. Use high speed.

A:  I installed this fan to transfer A/C from a 12x24 bedroom to a 12x12 bathroom. It serves well to transfer air from one room to another. It is nice and really quiet, but don't expect a breeze. It depends on being in operation full time to have a consistent impact. Divide the volume of the room you are blowing into by the CFM rating of the fan to get a feel for how often it will change out the full volume of the room. I think this one is about 110cfm, and my bathroom has about 1150 cf of volume. The fan will refill the room about every 10 minutes. I've been pleased with it for my application.

A:  We have a wood stove and placed the fan in the wall right behind the stove pipe and it blows out into our kitchen, living room, dining room area which is around 24x32 and it works really well to help get the heat into that area. If you stand in front of it, it feels like your standing in front of a forced air furnace vent on high. If this one ever wears out I will be buying another just like it

A:  Not sure how you will mount it to a tent 'wall' or in general installation. It may work just fine, it could deliver too much cold air. They have two adjustments hopefully the lower setting works for you.

A:  I would say you can but would need to build a box as thick as a standard home wall for it to mount in.

A:  If you had a way to mount it and also not expose it to UV light otherwise the plastic would degrade

A:  Theoretically you could but you would have to figure a way to support it. It's probably not the best solution for this application.

A:  Yes ,I don’t know why not as long as you don’t get it wet !

A:  it should work, may want to provide some weather protection on outside

A:  The fan is not designed for that. The internals would get rusty from outside moisture such as rain getting into it. No louvers inside that close when the fan is off.

A:  It should work ok for that. One problem is it does not have a damper, so when not using fan you have a opening in the wall.

A:  I use mine to vent from the crawl space under the house to the outside, so I imagine it should work for your garage. It is in a spot that is protected from the rain. That is my only caution.

A:  This would not be the proper fan for that application. It is designed to only be used in interior walls.

A:  Yes but if the garage is very large this fan wouldn't move enough cfm's to be very effective.

A:  Yes, this will be adequate.

A:  Maybe. If it is a straight shot then it would most likely work well enough to get some air in there, otherwise no.

A:  Not really sure of the question as this fan mounts in the wall and not ductwork. Sounds like to me you’re looking for a duct booster fan. When installed in the wall as I did, it works very well drawing air from an open loft into the room

A:  Im sure it could but probably not efficient enough. I put just thru a wall and works great

A:  Yes I installed it for a customer as an exhaust fan but it would work equally as well to move warm or cool air.

A:  Probably not. It's made for a standard wall for which it is fine. Fan is not that powerful.

A:  My purchase was for kitchen use, with a five inch wall to outside. It works well for my use. Not sure how effective it would be for 17 feet.

A:  Hello, You would get some draw through 17ft, but probably not enough to make a difference. I would ask you to call us at 800-999-3267 M-F 8-4:30 central time to discuss you specific application. If you are using 8" duct you could use the Thruwall fan at the output side then have a secondary 8" Duct fan inside the duct run about 6" from the input side. The trick will be controlling the two fans since the In-Line Duct fan coul dnot be controlled by the variable speed switch on the Thruwall fan. Please call us. Thanks, Suncourt

A:  Hello, Thanks for the question. No this fan is not appropriate for use in a spray booth. The paint fumes require a very specific kind of fan motor. Suncourt does not manufacture a fan that is appropriate for your application. Thanks, Suncourt

A:  I don't know for sure but it does not appear to be and doesn't reference that in the brochure, I would contact the manufacturer. This is an excellent fan very quiet.

A:  I wouldn’t do that. The risk of explosion is too great. It doesn’t move a large volume of air either. Good for heat transfer, but not for fumes. Bite the bullet and pay for a fan built for that specific application.

A:  I would not recommend using this in a spray booth. The motor is not totally enclosed, and would not be considered explosion proof.

A:  No , I wouldn’t use for that purpose , I spray painted in my garage For Years , you would need a commercial grade fan for that purpose . Also build up on blade would be hard to clean .

A:  i would not recommend it. you need a special type of fan where no sparks come into contact with exhausted fumes.

A:  Motor is not sealed

A:  No, the motor is not sealed.
