Inline
Exhaust Fans: Unlike ceiling exhaust fans that are installed directly
into the ceiling, inline exhaust fans are typically mounted in-between
ducting, hence the name inline fan. For instance, if you wanted to
ventilate an area that did not have clearance or space for a ceiling
mount fan, you would make use of inline exhaust fans to ventilate such
areas. The exhaust fan would be placed in between the ductwork and the
stale air would travel through the ducts and ultimately be expelled
from your home. Since inline fans are not mounted directly to the
ceiling, they are very quiet. When installing an inline fan, to
reduce noise, we recommend using an insulated flex duct that is at
least eight feet long from the intake port on the ceiling to the inline
fan. Inline exhaust fans are ideal for exhausting areas or rooms where
you cannot, or do not wish to install the exhaust fan directly. Since
these types of exhaust fans are mounted in remote areas, they are also
referred to as remote mounted exhaust fans. Inline exhaust fans can
either be single-port (exhausting from a single area) or multi-port
(exhausting from multiple areas).
