Pat, if that's not the "newer" 9" vent, what is it? looks just like it.

Thanks Jim . What I like about this fan besides it being powered (condensation)is everything is replaceable unlike the hard to find 9 in. Pat

Please provide pictures of the install procedure. Where will you install the switch and location of the power source.

What was the cost from ETI? I have been questioning them for 2 years on this vent. Also, how were you going to get the power needed for the vent? I wish I had known this was possible when we were up there getting the frame taken care of

Hi Jubal . I definitely will share pictures when I am doing this install . Right now I can't have any rain or if it is too cold . Chris told me to use the bath light to get power from . He said he made hole a little bigger because you need to get your 2 wires from fan to light . The light will hide your hole when you put it back up . Escape said also it might be easy or %%%%%. We will see . But I will definely share . Pat

Hi Tech fan . See my reply to Jubal . My cost was 250 plus 17 for shipping . However I used my American Express and I was billed 200 total because of the exchange rate I guess . With shipping and the best price you can find the fan plus shipping would be 80-90 or more . You are getting your holes already cut out and those white pieces are fiberglass . They also supplied my screws . If you look on the piece for outside it has a bump to install your fan on . And You get Escape help too . Got a call today to make sure I was on the right track . So I am very happy . Didn't realize about that 9 in until going home and rain dropped on my head when I opened a little . Pat

This is great. I've been conjuring up ways to home-brew this installation ever since selling our Casita (which had one as standard equipment) and getting the Escape.

Are the square mounting flanges provided by the manufacturer of the fan or by ETI ?

Jubal Escape manufactured the white fiberglass inside and outside flanges ,including cutting your holes and drilling the holes . Having the bump for the fan will help from water getting in even though it is a shower . Pat

Also the outside piece is 1/8 in thick fiberglass . However, the inside piece is 1/4 thick fiberglass . Pat

Hey Pat
Thanks for the information. What are the length and width dimensions of the outside flange ? Are the dimensions the same as the OE vent flange ?
