I would like to mount this in a garage. Is that ok? Do I have to be worried about fumes venting?

This is outdoor only. It has to be in an exterior open aired space. No interior garage installation allowed. that would vent harmful exhaust into the garage. They sell the indoor unit and will require proper venting flue. Both indoor and outdoor units are great!

Yes. You can not vent inside a structure. If you were mounting outside a garage the go with this unit. INSIDE a garage you NEED and indoor unit that exhausts to the exterior thru a vent. Mounting this unit in your garage is like running you car inside with the door shut - it will kill you from the CO2.

No, please dontThis specific model is designed for exterior installation only. However there is a similar product that is designed for interior installation but requires a duct venting to an exterior wall.it is a little cheaper but requires more installation work due to the exhaust ventilatio

It would not be okay, and yes, you should be worried about fumes. Consider installing a vented unit for the garage. I believe this is the indoor equivalent: Rheem RTG-84DVLN 8.4 GPM Low NOx Direct Vent Tankless Natural Gas Water Heater

No smoke/soot using K-1 kerosene. Having said that I will also say that you would not use this indoors except for a garage area. It is very hot and has a powerful fan and should not be used near combustibles. I have a 26' x 24' garage with bare studded walls, insulation in rafters with visqueen for the ceiling covering, and it heats the garage from the 30's to more than 70 degrees within half hour. You can tell there s an odor, but no smoke. This s by far the best value heater I have seen for my home garage. I have a carbon monoxide alarm in the garage and it stays at zero parts per million with this running. No smoke/soot using K-1 kerosene.

Yes, Ours is mounted on the garage ceiling second floor while the compressor is on the first floor, never had a problem.

I have this in my garage for same purpose. It helps a little. I run if only on the hot days. U could add a thermostat control if u don't want to turn it in manually. It's like a louder faster bath exhaust fan. I had one in a workshop before to help exhaust fumes. It does a better job with the fumes than the heat. But it's just an 8" fan. A box fan or cyclone fan would move more air but this installs nicely in the wall.

Should do a good job. I added a fan above it so it would circulate quickly in my garage which is 450 sq foot. Never need it on high. I would insure there is some fresh air for the room for safety.

Mary, as long as there is lots of ventilation , we have ours in the garage , there is a certain amount of smoke that's comes out the vent on top, adjust the vent to hold in the smoke and enjoy .. I would have to say Yes ,, as always just be safe ..

I live in a large loft with alot of living space. We have a sliding steel door that is the only thing separating us from the elements outside. I've opted to run this inside and so far so good. I'd say as long as you have a lot of ventilation you will be just fine. Also, the wick should be cut enough to not give off any toxic soot - so keep it short.

I use my fan in my garage. I am located in Southeast Georgia, and relative humidity is always very high. I have not had any problems with its operation or with it rusting. I am glad I bought this fan, and I think you will be happy with the performance and the esthetics. I would recommend it for under a porch awning.

I would think if you had a flex duct over your work area and had the fan leading to an exterior wall at 400cfm it would vent the fumes. I used to work on circuit boards (soldering) while in the Navy and we had fans in the overhead with a flex duct on our workstations to vent the fumes outdoors. Being you are making jewelry I would think by putting a hood over your work area and as the fumes rise the fan would draw it out of the space.

I think it depends on where and how the fumes are created and what they occupy. If you are thinking of using it for an exhaust fan in a spray booth this will not work. If you are looking more at venting a cabinet or small sealed area that you want a negative pressure environment then this would do that. This is a low volume type fan so it is really designed to create and maintain a negative pressure in a relatively small area. Hope that helps.

I guess.....Mine is mounted on a concrete wall in my apartment Kitchen.....which has plenty of ventilation (that's a BIG need) so yes, it's semi-permanently mounted. It's really designed for OUTDOOR USE - the exhaust comes out the top of the unit. YOU WOULD NOT, REPEAT NOT WANT TO USE THIS IN AN ENCLOSED, POORLY VENTILATED AREA. VERY DANGEROUS..... MY KITCHEN IS HALF OPEN AIR WITH GOOD VENTILATION FOR THE EXHAUST (DOMINICAN REPUBLIC).

This is mainly a Floor Duct Vent as far as I recall. you may need an actual Wall Vent. Good Luck.

I have mine in a garage that's about 730 sq ft and it is not vented and there are no issues. The cost I have not calculated but it depends on how warm you want to keep the area. I just want to keep my garage around 45 degree so the water lines don't freeze.

I have used it in my basement with no special ventilation. You are not using very much at a time so I donot see a probl at all.

It is required to be OUTSIDE. The Exhaust from natural gas is pretty clean, yet toxic and being so cleaned you won't noticed you are being poisoned. KEEP IT OUTSIDE. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD IT BE IN A GARAGE. I am not yelling, I am just making sure you get it. The plastic is pretty durable, but if you want to extend its life, put a vinyl fence around it for shade. Just make sure to leave enough space to breath and exhaust as well as to do maintenance. Also make sure you instal it with plenty of clearance from the house. At least 3 ft, but check the local code.

It is considered to be safe. It has a nice scent but could be overpowering in the house. I would for sure use it in a garage and possibley a basement if it has decent ventilation. It is a fantastic product!

I believe as long as you have a place to vent it out of the space you are trying to cool, it should work. Just make sure that where ever you vent it out to, that it is ok to vent really warm air in there. This is a powerful machine and the air that it circulates out is hot. But it works really well cooling the space, I had it in an above garage room that would normally be very hot and it worked great!
