7 INCH SHUTTER EXHAUST FAN
Galvanized Yankee
Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2024
The fan and thermostat work perfectly, installing wasn’t terrible (most issues were self inflicted).However the thermostat needs to be wired in, it will not function with the provided cord. If you just use the cord it will only run when plugged in. The provided box for the thermostat needs two wire clamps (not supplied), minor, but required a run to Home Depot. And the tiny case screws are not self tapping, so a pain to install.Not a difficult job to wire, but you should be familiar with wiring.

Used this unit to vent my 6x12 greenhouse. I had to install air vents on the opposite end to allow proper ventilation. This little fan moves air! Even with 3 - 4" vents installed it will pull the greenhouse door closed. The included thermostat worked exactly as it should. Comes on where I set it and shuts off when it should. The Temp settings on the thermostat are not really correct but no big deal. I used my thermometer to determine when the fan should turn on and didn't really pay attention to the temp scale on the thermostat. Louvers work as they should. Very happy with this unit.

I installed this exhaust fan in a doghouse (dog mansion. Lol) for a dog that I rescued in order to remove the hot air during the summer. Even though it is insulated. I wanted to keep him as comfortable as possible when he's in his house. It hasn’t really been hot yet, but I have tested it by turning the thermostat down and allowing it to kick on. It is not very loud at all and it moves a lot of air. When the fan kicks on, the louvers open up and you can feel the large amount of the air that is being sucked in through the door on the front of the doghouse. As of now, I would recommend this item to anyone. If I have any problems with the item in the future, I will come back and update this review.

I bought this fan to exhaust warm air from my solar generating room. The thermostatic control makes it ideal as does the quiet operation.I have yet to install it, but I've wired up the controls and tested it. It is quiet. The hole size on the thermostat junction box does not fit American fittings, so I had to use a 1" Greenlee hole punch to make it the correct size for American fittings. Other than that, a smooth wiring installation.I've yet to make the opening in the wall and install it, so I can't yet comment on longevity.

I could not reach my gable area of the home as it was too tight. My home has four (4) existing static air vents that are about 8 inches in diameter in the roof of the home so that air can naturally flow up from the vents in the eves and out the roof by simple physics of heat rising. But that really is not that optimal and never has been for any home. I have searched for any forced air electrical unit that could be installed below one of those static vents and force a lot more air out of the attic through the roof. There is nothing on the market. I am an engineer, so I just took the time to research enough gable vents to find the right one and this is it. What is important to know is that most gable vents have a high CFM (Cubic Ft Per Minute) of airflow of around 1600-2500. Forcing that much air into a static roof vent will cause a venturi effect due to the inability of the roof vent to accommodate that much air flow. This actually causes more noise. This is why I chose this unit. Much smaller, 760 CFM, easy to install and comes with a thermostat that I set to 90 degrees. I found that the unit works just fine on full speed of 760 CFM and there is absolutely no noise at all. The unit is ultra quiet. It will work without any noise if you have a decent size existing roof static vent. IMPORTANT INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: In order for this to work, you will need to install two 2 X 4's between the roof joists 9 inches apart and centered over the hole that was cut for the existing roof static vent (photos included). Then two more 2 X 4's between the two I just mentioned, and once again, 9 inches apart and centered over the existing hole for the static roof vent. This creates a 9 inch square box. The 2 X 4's need to be mounted upright (not flat) so there is a 3.5" inch deep square to insert this new attic fan. YOU MUST REMOVE THE AUTOMATIC SHUTTER that comes with the fan. Very simple and only has 3 screws that hold it in place on each side of the fan. Now you have just a fan and a square metal box that holds the fan. Screw that metal box into the 9 inch wooden square you framed as mentioned above. Then plug the unit in using the 3ft long cord and you are done to a plug that is controlled by the thermostat. OR cut the male plug off the end of the cord like I did, and wire it directly into the thermostat (see photos). If you do not have a plug nearby, you can use an extension cord. But the extension cord should be a 3 prong grounded plug since the cord that comes on the fan is a 3 prong plug. Very easy to do and took me less than an hour start to finish, and I also ran wiring and installed an outlet box for these 2 fans. Very easy and my attic is cooler.
