Does this unit mount to the side of the fan ? Or mount to the roof flange ?

It mounts to the roof flange by drilling 4 small holes to the vertical part of the flange no calking needed. Takes about twenty minutes to install.

it fits over the existing Fantastic Fan. You unscrew 4 of the screws and screw down the included plates. These plates have posts that allow you to slide cotter pins through them. the vent cover can be removed without tools at any time.

Much better mounting than my previous "Max Air" cover that blew off. This has a positive mounting to the roof flange and was done in less than 1/2 an hour. AND it still can be removed by taking out the cotter pins.

It is intended to mount to the roof flange by removing 4 existing screws holding the fan assembly to the roof and replacing them with included longer screws through the 4 mounting plates. The new cover slides over pins in those plates and then clips are used to hold it in place. Very easy install...if your existing fan has screws. Mine did not and was held in place with only sealant. I drilled thru the sealant into the roof to install the provided screws. I used new sealant to ensure no leaks due to the new screw holes.

Mine is vertical venting. The unit looks beautiful in my kitchen. It's difficult to install; reason is that the lower chimney is attached to the base unit and to mount the 2 screw holes in the back is not easy.

The direction the fan on the PSU is facing doesn't really matter. There is no wrong way to mount the PSU. I personally prefer the PSU mounted with the fan facing down so it gets access to its own fresh air supply instead of using air that's already in the case.

It mounts on the metal frame of the vent. Drill 4 small holes into vent frame and attach the supplied brackets screws. 15 minute job. Real easy

The fan is mounted inside a 6inch diameter metal tubing about 6 0r 8 inches long.,connecting wires comes out on the side. The direction of air flow is marked on the housing. Depending on your use you can either suck out air or byreversing direction blow air into.

The one I received was single side. Can be mounted from the back or the top.

The fan is not reversible unless you physically take it apart and re-assemble it backwards. This requires new holes and new rivets. Therefore you should mount it with the small circular side for intake. The face plates are not interchangeable.

it is made specifically to mount to a ceiling fan. It will not directly and neatly mount to the ceiling. Sorry

No, this is designed to be installed inline somewhere between the fan and the exterior vent. It's not designed for external use.

Rachel,Yes both of mine are flush mounted just like a normal fan would be. The down rods were way too long for what I was trying to do. The hard part was finding a switch that would work with two fans. The one that comes with it is great for one or if you are running them on separate lines.

This fan can be flush mounted and comes with a (I think) 4" downrod. I ordered a 24" downrod for our fan. Here is the link for the matching downrod:Hunter 28966 24" Extension Downrod Burled Brown

Yes. If you fasten the triangular fan mount to a vertical member such as an upright barn post (use 5/16" or 3/8" lag screws 5" long), the up-down axis is controlled by two large thumbscrews, one on either side of the semi-circular fan mount. The fan pivots left-right on a heavy bolt; to adjust the left-right direction of the fan, loosen this one bolt, swing the fan left or right, and re-tighten the bolt.

It hangs from a short tube that's included with the parts. Altogether, the lowest part of the fan assembly is about 9" below the ceiling. We have an 8' ceiling in the room so it is comfortably out of the way. I don't know it can be flush mounted any higher, but one of the other answerers says there is a separate adaptor available to do this.

Yes, the unit has FAN ONLY option. Keep in mind that vents are facing upward.

It goes underneath the bell cover at the very top of the fan where it mounts to the ceiling box. You have to remove it and expose the fan's ceiling bracket.

You have to wire it into the fan before mounting. I chose not to use that feature because my house is wired with light and fan switches.

I believe it is flat. The original box specs lists it as a 1/2" flat shaft. I can't verify because my exhaust fan is located on a roof that is currently covered with snow.
