Can it be vented outside?

Yes. It SHOULD / must be vented outside to be effective. The unit contains everything needed to make a correct installation through an exterior (frame) wall. You supply the electric wiring.

Yes it can be vented thru the wall. This unit is very loud, much louder than I thought and I would not use it again for a house bathroom.

It is designed to go into an outside wall, and vents directly outside...and they work great! Very powerful fan.

No it is made to be outside. It would not have the proper ventilation inside of an attic.

It can be configured to vent through the back or the top of the hood. You would have to install the duct and outdoor hardware to complete the job, (not included with the hood). I used it to replace an existing hood that vented out the back into a duct already in the wall and it mated up nicely with the old opening.

I could use it because it had to be vented to the outside.But I believe it vented out the back.

Yes, unfortunately. I bought this unit for an office without a window and was disappointed to find it needs to be vented, and the vent hose itself is rather obtrusive.

This unit in only suitable for protected outdoor installation. There is no way to vent the fumes through a duct, Noritz makes another model for that.

yes, it needs to be vented somewhere. You could purchase an awesome high-powered fan and it would cool as well and not need vented.

I can see how it could be installed in a wall. You would have to leave the majority of the unit outside to allow the fan to vent properly.

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.

This must be vented outside. You can still holes through the wood foundation. The hoses telescope out to about nine feet and do not kink

Yes this unit needs to vent outside a window. However this unit is super easy to hookup.

I don't think so. You can do that by using the roof vent with exhaust flapper.

This unit is designed to be vented outside. Hopefully you already have the duct connections to an exterior hooded vent. I've seen it vented to recirculate in an attic space, but that's definitely not recommended and isn't code-compliant in most jurisdictions. I have 2 of these in my own home and just put 3 in my parent's home. Love it!

I'm no expert but I believe the reason you'd want it outside is because of the carbon monoxide it kicks out of the vent.
