Low-Profile Housing for Walls and Smaller Ceiling Cavities Do you have 2" x 6" 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 6" 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 StarŽ 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.
Comments about Panasonic WhisperValue Bathroom Fan FV-08VS1:
I was a little worried about the oval connector - but i just had to squeeze the flex duct and it fit like a champ. I had a very small space to work with (2x4 ceiling joists), but this fit quite nicely.

Comments about Panasonic WhisperValue Bathroom Fan FV-08VS1:
Bought the fan because it was supposed to be very quiet. It is not. It is a tad quieter than the old fan but wish i would have gotten one that made less noise. For self installers, it does not come with any duct work so you will have to buy that. It is a large unit.

Comments about Panasonic WhisperValue Bathroom Fan FV-08VS1:
We had this fan installed in our master bathroom largely for dehumidification during and after showers. We use a timer on/off switch to allow the fan to operate for 10-60 minutes. While the fan works very well to dehumidify our bathroom it is a bit louder than we anticipated. Overall, however, we are very pleased with this fan.

Comments about Panasonic WhisperValue Bathroom Fan FV-08VS1:
Wanted to replace builder grade fan; with quieter fan with greater circulation. This fan was a good unit, to easily fit into the 3" duct work that existed; and only required cutting out a little larger opening; Would have wished for quieter unit; most of noise remaining appears to be the draft trap ...
