This fan has the right dimensions for use as an exhaust fan. Can it be mounted at top of an 18" wide kitchen window and plugged into regular AC?

The Answer is no-it cannot...It is DC only...You can Google the Fan/Model #, and it will give you all the specs..It is a great fan

For those who have this question, yes, there is an AC/DC converter shown on the box that is available. But I agree that there are likely cheaper fans, although this one is very thin and could work very well.

No, it is for 12-volt direct current only. Plugging it in to an AC outlet would burn it up.

It's designed to be portable, but I suppose if the dimensions are ok and you build your own mounting mechanism, it would work ok. We do use an AC/12V converter and plug it into regular electric wall outlets to add flexibility of placement around the coach. This fan is very powerful and you will have 'air moving' noise (even on low speed); hence we prefer keeping it out of the front living area in our RV only during daytime hours to augment to air conditioning. This is our second unit; first one lasted several years.

No.If you are wanting an AC 18" fan, why would you spend $63 when you can get them for under $20?

Yes you can use it as an exhaust fan but don't buy it. It's junk. Don't waste your money. A hand held fan is better than this one

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.

My husband installed this fan on our 18' ceiling with a 6' download. He did not have to extend the wire for installation. So, you should be fine as it seems our situations were very similar.

Yes, it could. Although would be pretty useless and really used for decorative purposes only. You would have to use largest power fan, you can get a hold of. Possibly could work, but see it more for looks then functionality. GL

The flow through this unit would probably be too large to be used this way. A better choice might be the "Panasonic FV-10NLF1 WhisperLine 120 CFM In-Line Fan, 4-Inch Duct" unit Amazon sells. I use the 120 cfm unit as an exhaust fan on a switch for a single bathroom. I use the 240 cfm unit as a vent fan on a timer for four rooms. You will probably need to connect the power to this unit through the furnace controls so that it is switched on and off with the furnace. Don't mount the fan too close to the furnace to avoid temperatures over 140 degrees.

It's a horrible idea to use this fan to get air into a room to be honest. This is simply a computer fan, and the dust and dirt it will pull it from outside will ruin itself. Its also just 120mm, perfect in a computer situation but not for a house... Yes, in theory your configuration would work though.

Only if the exhaust fan mounts to an electrical box. Most exhaust fans are recessed, this box is meant to be flush mounted at the finished ceiling.

We threw our unit away. Stopped working right after the warranty expired. Please avoid. If you insist on purchaing, the window vent was about 6 inches in height. Good luck.

Yes...the electrical cords measured from the top of the fan itself out is exactly 76 inches out! So it would work for you!

Yes if it fits in the space properly. I believe this one can be configured to vent to the outside of the home or just back into your kitchen, depending on what the configuration of your current fan is like. Ours doesn't vent to outside of home so we just set it to recirculate.

the fan is about 12 inches across. It may be underszed for a patio. Indoors it works great

This would work great for a bathroom exhaust fan. Keep in mind the negative pressure because this fan is pretty powerful so an open window or door is prob necessary for best results.

I would not recommend buying it for a window. First of all, it's too small to be effective in any window. Second, it is meant to "boost" airflow from your forced air furnace and/or central air conditioner. The fan is not powerful enough to move air on it's own. They, I installed two of them, weren't powerful enough to make ANY difference (not even 1 degree) in my basement.

Hmm, not sure. I guess it would depend if your window opening was big enough. if it was you may be able to mount it sideways. The fan must be mounted to the window frame with screws. maybe you can contact the company and ask them.

Not inherently.. you might be able to modify it somehow to do that, I don't know.. but as it comes, it's only an exhaust fan..

Yes. I use it in my study. It's mounted about 7ft up. The study is about 10ft by 8ft. The fan swivels across the entire room and blows some mean air
