Easy Installation FV-10VS1 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. In addition to ceiling mount, WhisperValue FV-10VS1 is UL listed for a wall mount application. The 3-3/4" housing depth is suitable with 2x4 wall frames.
Low-Profile Housing for Walls and 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 StarŪ 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-10VS1:
The fan was (relatively) easy to install, is quiet, and there was no fog when I got out of the shower this morning, let alone moisture on the wall.

Comments about Panasonic WhisperValue Bathroom Fan FV-10VS1:
I'm retired now... but... I worked for many years at a hospital facility in upstate NY. I've known about the quality of the "WhisperValue" Panasonic bathroom fans for a long time. So when the old bathroom fan began to make noise. I knew I wanted a valuable, no noise fan and I was very happy to find it on your site. I appreciated the quick e-mail from you, telling me that the product was out of stock as well as the exact day that they would be available again. I received it on time, installed it easily, and my wife and I are very happy (not to hear it) as it works.
Thanks again... a happy customer. Nick M

This fan was not available locally. I'm very happy with the customer service that was provided to me by Bathroom Fan Experts. The fan has about 1/3 the db level as my other two bathroom fans and removes moisture much faster rate. So far so good.

Expected it to be a little noisy since the package is small and the CFM is pretty good relative to size. Some sound deadening mass on the stampings would be nice. Quality parts.

Comments about Panasonic WhisperValue Bathroom Fan FV-10VS1:
- have it installed in a small bathroom (10' x 5') by a contractor, appeared to be fairly straightforward to install - sounds more noisy than what i imagined it would be at 1.5 sones, but its ok, not too bad - does its work well and pulls all the moist air out clean - looks simple and basic - like it so far (only been 10 days since i had it installed)

Comments about Panasonic WhisperValue Bathroom Fan FV-10VS1:
This fan was as advertised, very quiet, and with a low profile, which I needed to fit the space between the rafters. The only difficulty with installation was the screw holding the plate over the power supply entrance. It required a mighty effort to break it loose. There were several brackets included and a number of installation options described in the manual, which was tucked into the fan cover and not located until install was done. I downloaded one from the internet to answer a couple of questions, but most of the install was obvious. Good product working well so far.

Quiet, much quieter than the 50 cfm fan it replaced. Does an excellent job of removing moisture from the bathroom. Many mounting options and comes with the hardware for different spaced studs.
