can i use this fan as a exhaust fan in a bathroom wall?

No. This is a fan built for a computer box or enclosed entertainment center, not a bathroom.

I imagine one could use this fan as an exhaust fan for a bathroom but I wouldn't recommend it... it won't meet code and could pose a hazard as it is not grounded. A typical bathroom exhaust fan is about 50-140 CFM, this fan operates at 110 CFM. Also I don't know how well the fans electronics would stand up to the moist air if the said room has a shower or bath.

I wouldn't recommend that application. This fan is made to move air from a case or cabinet not to exhaust a bathroom. It's not big enough

Yes. I use 3 of them as exhaust fans. I believe that the fans blow air in the direction of the label on the front, but all you'll have to do is see which way they blow and screw them in in that direction

I have not installed it yet, however I see to real problems. I plan to use this only on my bathroom exhaust fan only. I hope this helps

This is not a "bathroom" fan or a kitchen exhaust fan...both of which are designed for high moisture. But the humidity you describe is probably not nearly enough to cause problems. If the fan does fail prematurely, it's certainly cheap enough to replace after 4 or 5 years. Remove the intake cover and clean it regularly to extend the life and monitor for corrosion. If you see rust, clean the rust and paint the frame and blades to extend the life.

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.

I would think so. We bought it to sit on a work table to keep fumes low and provide ventilation for an assembly worker. The fan works very well. As long as there is a window sill to sit the fan on, it would work fine. Otherwise you could install a bathroom ventilation fan that would require cutting into the wall or ceiling and electrical wiring. This is a simpler alternative.

Sure it can be used as an exhaust fan. You would need a 140mm exhaust fan port on the computer case for it to be practical though. The fan is designed to be installed on heat sinks.The fan like all computer fans is designed to run off of the computer power supply 12V connectors.The fan dimensions are 140x150x25 mm.

Yes they can be used as intake and exhaust fans, but it depends on which way you face them. On the sides of the fan case there are labels that shows the direction that the fan turns and the direction the air moves. So if you want to make that fan a exhaust, just have that arrow point away from the inside of the case. Also vise versa if you want intake.

It isn't meant to be used inside. The top is almost completely open. You could make a fitting abd exhaust from sheet metal and run through the wall. I mounted mine outside and ran water through the wall. Good luck.

It's really a "ceiling" fan but I don't see why it couldn't be installed in a wall. Yes, you can duct it outside from there.

Yes. It's very quiet & even on higher speed, not that strong. It's more for moving air than direct fanning. I use it on my vanity.

Yes. This can be installed as a low profile fan if you purchase the shorter 3 inch extender tube and use it in place of the longer tube that comes with the fan.

Yes you can set them up as exhaust fans. Just make sure they are pointing outward from your case. I have 3 of them set for exhaust on a 800D case and they work lovely.

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.

While it may be what you're looking for, I wouldn't recommend it. This fan is not weatherproof and is also not sealed. It would allow both bugs and airflow to come in through the gaps even when it's not running. Plus many exterior walls are too thick for this fans maximum thickness setting. Good luck though.

I installed one of these as a bathroom exhaust fan--used a ceiling vent plate that had a 4"duct nipple (you can use an A/C ceiling plate) and then ducted it into the attic to the TD-100 and then more duct to the house ridge vent. I used regular Romex 14-2 with a ground from a timer to the fan. The fan has a connection box on it to make the connections using compression screws that are all supplied.

You can do a flush mount. We mounted the fan in our bathroom. Eight foot ceiling and a standard door opens under the fan. Supposedly a down rod would increase air flow, but we did not have that option. The fan did help our humidity problem in a tight shower area.
