Power Rating: 120V / 60 Hz Certifications: UL and cUL Listed The WhisperValueT Series offers a quiet, low consumption fan with a housing depth of 3-3/4". This, combined with their low sone noise output make Panasonic the easy choice for bath "exhaust only" ventilation. Features include: Can be Mounted Vertically or Horizontally in Ceiling or Wall Mount Applications Low Power Consumption, Energy Star Compliant Saves Money on Electrical Bills Super Quiet Fan California Title-24 Compliant 3 Year Panasonic Warranty Easy Installation FV-08VSL1 features a 4" round compatible oval duct that can be easily installed in a 2x4 construction. The unique shape of the duct also allows a higher CFM to be maintained. Low-Profile Housing for Smaller Ceiling Cavities Do you have 2" x 4" joists in your ceiling? Are you having trouble finding a ventilating fan that will fit in this small cavity? Well, this model was made just for you. Designed to fit 2" x 4" joists or larger, this low-profile fan doesn't sacrifice performance for size. This ventallation fan utilizes a 4" ovalled duct for those areas where a smaller duct is necessary. So Quiet You Might Not Know it's On This WhisperFitT fan features a totally enclosed condenser motor and a large, double suction blower wheel to quietly move air. A small wheel turning very fast will create more noise than a large wheel turning more slowly for a given airflow. Our fan uses a wide blower wheel that moves a large amount of air at reduced RPMs. The blower wheel is also designed to draw air in from both sides, which helps keep the noise down, as there is more area for the air to enter the wheel. In fact, it is quiet enough that you might not even know it's on. Continuous, Trouble-free Operation for Many Years This fan is designed to give you continuous, trouble-free operation for many years thanks in part to its high-quality components and permanently lubricated motors which wear at a slower pace. Also, since heat is always detrimental to motor life (the cooler the environment, the longer the motor will last), we designed the electrical configuration of this model's condenser motor to allow it to operate at lower temperatures, increasing the life of the motor and bearings. And, the fan housing is made of heavy-gauge zinc galvanized steel and painted to protect it from rust. User-Friendly Installation Detachable adaptors, firmly secured duct ends, adjustable mounting brackets (up to 26"), fan/motor units that detach easily from the housing and uncomplicated wiring all lend themselves to user-friendly installation. This model also features a double-hanger bar system for ideal positioning. Energy Star® Qualified for Energy Savings Energy Star qualified products feature super-quiet operation and high CFM-to-Watt efficiency. The Energy Star program was created to help consumers identify products that can save them money and protect the environment by saving energy. As an Energy Star partner, all our fans are Energy Star qualified and labeled accordingly. Tired of Cold Air Coming Through Your Ventilation Fan? This Panasonic fan has a built-in damper to prevent backdraft, which helps to prevent outside air from coming through the fan. Also, thanks to our efficient, cool running motors, it does not create excessive heat-a common problem with some competitors' fans. Loose fill or batt insulation can be placed directly over the fan housing to prevent heat from escaping.

Great Fan - Duct not 3"

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic WhisperValue Bathroom Fan With Lights FV-08VSL1:

Great fan. Moves air. Quiet. Install not to hard - except the duct size is 4" not the 3" listed so I had to crawl and make a very difficult switch from 3" to 4". Otherwise the install was easy. So be careful your duct must be 4" or you will have to be able to change out ducts.

 
not quite as advertised

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic WhisperValue Bathroom Fan With Lights FV-08VSL1:

Unit is advertised with a 3" diameter discharge duct, when in reality it is an oval 4" diameter. If there is a transition duct, 4" oval to 3" circle, I couldn't find one. Therefore I was left deforming the 4" end of a 4x3 reducer. Further the oval duct on the fan has a taper requiring screwing or riveting the 4x3 reducer to the fan discharge making for a sloppy fit as well as creating potential interference with the fan side baffle. Otherwise it seems to be a great product.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic WhisperValue Bathroom Fan With Lights FV-08VSL1:

Fan was very easy to install - didn't know it had a separately wired night light (made for 2nd switch) - great feature! The fan is VERY quiet and you can actually see it pulling the condensation out of the room when taking a shower. This is my second Panasonic fan and I love them both! Would recommend to anyone looking for a great, quite, and efficient bathroom fan.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic WhisperValue Bathroom Fan With Lights FV-08VSL1:

I purchased this fan for our laundry room. It was fairly easy to install and is quiet. I found that the less back pressure you have the quieter the fan. Lay out your exhaust duct to have as few turns as possible,especially where it first connects to the fan.

I purchased three (3) of these items at the same time as we were renovating our home. They are fairly quiet, attractive, and an incredible value compared to the prices quoted by a local vendor. I recommend them highly.
