Hangs vortex 2 fan question.

Has anyone ever hooked this or the original version up to a vent that didn't have power to it? I want to put it in the ceiling vent (no fan or poer to it)above the kitchen to such out heat when cooking. Where/ how do I get power there. Thanks.
  • Have you taken off the trim ring? There might be wires there routed around the hole. I added a fantastic fan to replace the standard roof vent and got power from one of the wires going around it.
  • Make sure to add one of the Vent Covers, that way you can leave the vent open in the rain.....
  • I hooked mine up to a small solar panel so it can vent out some of the hot air while in the storage yard.
  • Yup, just like they said. It can be a little annoying too fish through insulation. I just installed a light above my pantry and tied it in to the wiring for my bathroom fan. I have some fiberglass wire fishing poles that I used to push through insulation. Worked fine, took about 5 minutes to install a new light and we LOVE it thus far.

    Pretty easy installation!
  • Poer and such out is important above the kitchen when cookin’ I hear. Original version too.
