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:
The plumber working in my bathroom was so impressed with it, he took down the product name. The selection of bathroom fans was disappointing in my city. So thankfully this was shipped quickly and at a good price compared to the selection of fans locally.

The contractor just installed the first fan and it's oh, so much quieter than the old fan. Can't wait to have the other fan installed in the guest bath.

I thought this was going to be fairly silent but turns out it's quite loud. My previous fan was rated at 3.5 sones and this one is louder. Panasonic should research the noise level and remedy the problem.
