Can this be used to open and close ceiling vents?

The EZ Reacher can lift a brick as well as a cigarette butt but I am not sure how much pressure it can sustain to pull something overhead. I would buy one and see. It can be used for so much that you would not be remiss in having one around.

I am using this on both ceiling and wall vents with no problems - the magnets are very strong - it may not sit perfectly because of the screws but it stays put

We use it to vent two bathrooms at once with a "Y" branch fitting to take humidity out. Works great,so for a basement, probably would work well also. We let it run all the time coupled with a speed control ,low when no showers are going on, and high with a shower.

It seems that this vent extender is Not made to be used in the ceiling. It is made of a lightweight clear plastic!

Yes it can; there are ducting kits available. I purchased the unit for wall-mount and use a charcoal filter, but you can get the ducting kit as well to vent through a wall or ceiling/roof

Yes it can work for this. I have used mine in dryer vents and other enclosed dark areas. It will take a little practice getting used to the image, but overall I like mine.

If I recall there is a flap that opens with the force of the blowing air, however I can't see why it wouldn't work. I would suggest mounting it as high up as possible to allow the sensor to start the fan soon enough to do a good job.

It will fit a standard ceiling outlet/opening. The brushed nickel cover will be too small to cover anything larger like high hat opening I am afraid.

Not sure...it does create air circulation when pointer up towards the ceiling, but I don.t know if it would be strong enough. Probably worth a try.

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

I have used this device on a roof with a ridge vent. Make sure the hook clears the vent and rests on solid material.

Sure can, just make sure the damper will open freely. If not, rip it out and make sure to get a vent cap that has a damper.MikeMbradyelectric

The covers go over the existing vent covers. You can still open and close the original vents.

Sure, you could do that. Obviously, the open/close function would not work - it depends on movement of the magnet portion. But the temperature and acceleration functions should still work.

Bernard, not positive if you can do so. Best to contact the company. If you look online, you should be able to locate customer service. I vented ours through the window and it worked very well. My guess would be that you would need a good seal around the vent tube to do so.

That is not the way that I have it but do not see any reason why not. the shutters are not that heavy to open and the force of the fan should be able to open them up even when the unit would be upward.

Why not just get the one specifically designed for the roof vent? That's what we have over the bed and it works perfectly. Also have the ability to draw air IN, or reverse the blades and suck air OUT with it.
