Ventilate Multiple Areas with Just One Fan Panasonic WhisperLineT fans are designed for multiple-task ventilation. This means that you can ventilate multiple areas or multiple rooms with just one fan. For example, you can place inlets over the shower, tub, toilet and/or vanity in a single bathroom and still use just one fan. In recent years, homes have become more airtight and energy efficient. While this lowers the cost to heat and air-condition a home, it also retains pollutants that can be hazardous to its occupants. One way to improve the air quality of the home is through whole-house ventilation with a Panasonic WhisperLineT fan, which removes "stale" air and provides fresh air on a slow, continuous basis.
So Quiet You Might Not Know it's On WhisperWarmT fans feature 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.
Easy Installation This in-line fan can be installed in five different positions and joist, truss and suspension brackets are included to help make your installation as easy as possible.
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.
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.
Comments about Panasonic WhisperLine Inline Ventilation Fan FV-10NLF1:
Installed in an attic space above a closet and exhausted to outside, the fan motor and its faint sound are well-removed from the bathroom. Running ducts and backflow dampers can be time-consuming, but the result is very clean looking.

My noisy master bathroom fan needed to be replaced. It was installed yesterday and I am thrilled with it. There is no comparison between the original exhaust fan and the new Panasonic In-line Fan. What a difference!

We bought this to move hot air generated by our wood stove in our Family Room to the upstairs bedrooms (to reduce heating costs). It works very well, is very quiet, and was real easy to install. Great price too!

Comments about Panasonic WhisperLine Inline Ventilation Fan FV-10NLF1:
The fan does a great job and is very quiet. You can't hear the fan itself, just the faint sound of the air being pulled through. I installed it on the attic joists and there is a faint vibration in the room below, but that probably has more to do with my install than the fan. Even next to the unit while running it is very quiet. I had to feel it to make sure it was running.

Used this to build a cigar-smoke exhaust system in my basement. Hung the intake tube right above my chair. Works great, is quiet, and just the right "suck".
