can this fan get wet?

as with any electronics I would not advise using it fulll time in the wet weather (outside in the rain) , the motor in the rear has vents and I am sure will ultimaly lead to malfunction and possibly electrocution..Bill P

Sorry I cannot answer that as all 10 fans that I ordered are indoors. They are on the wallsof the church....they never got wet.

Tom, I have two 18" King Air fans, they work well and look good, but both are mounted on the wall of my lanei and have never been wet, so I can't truly answer your question. Regards: Mike

No it's not supposed to be for wet areas. The company told me it shouldn't even be outside, it will void warranty. I bring mine in if not in use but sometimes I forget:). I'm sure a few sprinkles have hit it and it seems ok.

i'm not an expert by any means, and i don't know exactly how wet you mean, but if its any help i have mine in a greenhouse where the fan will be exposed to periodic small sprays of water. i had 2 similar fans in there for approx 2 years, working every day, before they gave out. hope that helps.

Yes, it can get wet but it won't be effective again until it is dry. If bathing or swimming, I would definitely remove it, though.

I've been in several heavy rains and never had any leaking or water enter the van through the fan. If mounted sideways (or if the rain was sideways enough) some might make it in, but I doubt it would be enough to even collect in a drip pan. So yes, safe in rain, from my personal experience. Nicely water tight.

I would not think this is waterproof. It can probably handle a little mist. I have one on a batterybox i built. The switch is as solid as any type of switch this size is. It doesn't feel like it would take a hard blow and stay intact.

I couldn't find anything in the instructions about exposure to rain, but since the fan looks like an ordinary fan (no special shielding or cover for the fan motor), I don't think I would do that. The mist comes from 3 brass nozzles that are fed by rubber tubes so the fan motor never really comes in contact with water. I'm sorry I can't be more definitive. Hope this helps.

I can't say for certain since I haven't tried it outdoors. But it does look like thing is sealed up pretty good so it might be ok. If you decide to try it you should probably put some outdoor caulk around where the cord connects to the fan. That's the one place I really wouldn't want to get wet.

There is no cover on the fan itself so if the rain is blowing hard there is a possibility of rain getting coming through. Been using ours in some bad weather and have not had a big problem.

The fan is good in damp but not wet conditions.As long as it is out of the rain & snow it should be okay. We have it I the house & love it.

Yes, over time the mist is likely to get whatever surface is under it wet. The fan helps spread the mist through the air, and if you have the unit off the floor (on a table or other sturdy place) it would help keep things dry, but depending on weather and humidity and sunshine, you are likely to have at the very least a damp surface. See my review below.

It is. The fan has to blow the air over the coils to condense the air and extract the moisture from it, it will be cool.

It is make for indoor use I do believe but depends on how well it would be shielded from rain. I have similar fans outside in our pool house that are in a screened enclosure that have operated for almost 20 years with no problem other than the dirt builds up on the blades fast. Keep it clean and away from direct rain and it will be OK.

Yes. This fan is rated for direct contact with insulation. Being a fluorescent bulb, it does not generate very much heat...

I don't see why not...... as long as there is a filtration infront of the fan.....

Definitely not. I wouldn't use it even in a protected area where subject to either temperature changes or humidity changes of any extent. Strictly an inside fan.

This fan isn't an outdoor fan so don't think it would do get in wet situation. Blades not real piece of wood.

You'd have to read the description of item to find out. I don't take the chance. I remove all fans from windows when it starts to rain.
